Luxury Accommodation in South Australia

Flinders Ranges

The Flinders Ranges is like stepping into an oil painting, the largest mountain ranges in South Australia are a mass of hot pink and fiery red-tinged peaks that dominate the skyline. The skies are such a massive feature of the area and there is no better place to sit back and revel in the starry heavens. Not only is the landscape incredible (and more than 600 million years old), but the array of wildlife will astound you along with the area’s rich aboriginal history. The region is home to a special local wonder - Wilpena Pound - a natural amphitheatre of land surrounded by mountains that resemble a massive crater and is only accessible through an 11-kilometre long gorge. The spectacle has to be seen to be believed and is best done via a scenic flight. 

Arkaba Station

You are invited to stay in the lap of luxury, deep in the Flinders Ranges, and be one of only 10 guests at this unique property with an immersive philosophy. Arkaba Station is not only an exclusive and sumptuous accommodation, it is also a 60,000-acre wildlife conservancy dedicated to preserving Australia’s birdlife and animals and a range of private safaris available from the homestead with an expert field guide. The remote wild bush property provides an excellent level of service that celebrates the small touches while staying true to the ‘down to earth’ feeling of the rugged 1850s farmhouse. Each of the five ensuite rooms enjoys unique views of the surrounding ranges from their private verandah and dinner can be enjoyed on the outdoor terrace.

Riverland

Rolling fields heavy with brightly coloured citrus fruits and rows of grapevines that disappear into the horizon make the Riverland the epitome of absolute abundance. It is aptly named for the mighty Murray River that meanders through to connect South Australia with New South Wales and Victoria, while the mild winters and fertile soil makes it one of the largest growing regions in the country. As you would expect, the area is renowned for its outstanding wineries, breweries, and distilleries so it is easy to find the perfect tipple. The river itself is framed by yellow ochre cliffs that come alive at sunrise and sunset and draw in nature lovers who can explore the backwaters, creeks and protected wetlands by boat, kayak, or even historic wooden gondola. Days can be whiled away learning about the fascinating local biodiversity and encountering the resident wildlife and a variety of native birds.

The Frames

Perched on the banks of the Murray River stand three eye-catching structures that make up The Frames, a luxury accommodation that celebrates the beauty of its surroundings. Perfect for a romantic couples getaway, the resorts enjoy uninterrupted views of the Riverland from their panoramic windows and private balconies. Each has been carefully curated with stunning collections of art to complement the sumptuous interiors while heated pools, spas, saunas and BBQs welcome you home after you explore the region's waterways and orchards.
