On a private 63,000-acre wildlife conservancy in the Flinders Ranges, Arkaba is a restored 1856 homestead of five rooms, all-inclusive with hosted safari-style dining, a pool and twice-daily guided wildlife drives.
Arkaba sits on a private 63,000-acre wildlife conservancy in the Flinders Ranges near Ikara-Wilpena Pound, remote and off-grid with no cell reception, television or minibar. It has five en-suite rooms, four in the 1856 homestead, each named after a mountain range, plus the freestanding Coachman’s Cottage, with exclusive-use available.
Dining is all-inclusive and hosted safari-style, with three-course chef meals, an outdoor terrace, an open bar of South Australian wines and spirits and a garden firepit. There is an outdoor pool and a library-lounge with a stone fireplace, rather than a spa. Experiences run twice daily as guided safari drives, with wildlife hides, guided walks and woolshed visits, plus scenic flights over Wilpena Pound, and the separate four-day Arkaba Walk, with two per cent of stays funding conservation. A member of Luxury Lodges of Australia, it suits travellers wanting an intimate, all-inclusive, digitally disconnected outback wildlife and conservation experience, from couples to exclusive-use families and walkers.

This suits you if you want an intimate, all-inclusive, digitally disconnected outback wildlife experience. Settle into the restored 1856 homestead, head out on twice-daily guided drives and walks across the conservancy, and dine safari-style with an open bar. Swim in the pool, gather at the firepit, and disconnect entirely. It is remote and conservation-led. Good for couples, exclusive-use families and walkers.
