Beautiful location in the Flinders Ranges close to many walking trails and the national park. Very good restaurant on the resort. Units comfortable and well equipped with good bathrooms and walk in showers. Staff very helpful and informative.

Fantastic location in the middle of the Flinders Range. The cabins were well equipped but you needed to plan ahead and buy provisions before getting there as the choice at the on site shop is limited. This was not a problem as we were able to buy items for breakfast at the shop and in the evening dine at the on site excellent Woodshed Restaurant. One afternoon had the pleasure of a 4x4 guided tour, 4 hours, through the ranges with Phil the park manager.

Rawnsley Park is set with the most beautiful backdrop of Wilpena Pound. The chalets are quite functional and clean and the Woolshed Restaurant did us proud with the Lamb Tasting Dinner that was accompanied by wines from a Clare Valley vineyard.. The sunset trip with David was very memorable and being free to walk the trails around the Station enabled us to enjoy a bit of the Australian Outdoors. Our check-in experience was easy and the receptionist helped us book a trip through the local visitor’s centre as Rawnsley were not offering trips during the day.

A nice quiet position in a cabin overlooking the Rawnsley Bluff. Cooking facilities were excellent with a full size fridge. Bed was very comfortable and bathroom excellent. All very clean. A bonus was a deck to sit outside with a drink to cool down in the 39 degree temperature. Cabin was fully airconditioned. Would recommend to anyone.

It was nice to enjoy the Australian bush for a few days. The sunset crossing Rawnsley Bluff of an evening was very pleasant. The accommodation was quiet and very peaceful.

The facility is well located for easy driving to most of the key routes in the Flinders. There are lovely views of the ranges nearby. It has an excellent restaurant and friendly staff. The resort also supports the work of local artists in a Shearing shed gallery which is excellent.

We spent 3 nights at Rawnsley Park Station. The cabin was very clean comfortable and quiet. The location is great and the view on the mounts is really nice. You can also have a 4WD tour with very good information from the guide. I really recommend this place if you want to go to the Flinders Ranges.

The apartment was well equipped, modern and very clean. The facilities were close to many amazing day trips and also had good walking trail from the actual park. We were also impressed that they recycle their rubbish.

The location, the stunning views, the easy access to Wilpeena Pound, the freedom to walk around the site, the site's own bush walks; the comfort of the cabin, flexibility around preparing meals (BBQ, restaurant, cooking facilities in the cabin, and of course, the babblers. Great base for birding! And oh yes, the sheep ... being on a working station.

We loved our new, clean cabins and the well mapped out walks. Chinta Air was awesome for scenic flights. The shop is ok for basics but good to know the shop 20mins away at wilpena pound was much more substantial

It is quite a tight fit around the bed but then again these are little cabins that have been transported and put together. We ate one night at the restaurant. The food is quite expensive for what one gets. I guess because there is no competition.
It was nice to enjoy the Australian bush for a few days. The sunset crossing Rawnsley Bluff of an evening was very pleasant. The accommodation was quiet and very peaceful.

“Well located facility to explore the Flinders with a variety of accomodation options”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 2 nights
I am disappointed that the surrounding area of the resort looks over grazed and degraded. I know there is a drought but it looks like long term damage. If Rawnsley is claiming eco credentials this should apply to their land management too. It is also important to note Rawnsley has three levels of accommodation - the expensive, but very nice ecolodges, where I have previously stayed and the ordinary apartments and the camping area. They do tend to market the Station using the ecolodge image and visitors could be disappointed by the rather basic and still rather expensive apartments where we stayed this time.
The facility is well located for easy driving to most of the key routes in the Flinders. There are lovely views of the ranges nearby. It has an excellent restaurant and friendly staff. The resort also supports the work of local artists in a Shearing shed gallery which is excellent.

Feels like you are “nickel & dimed” from The minute you arrive, I appreciate the properties remote location but $20 for a bag of “fire wood” that was barely kindling and lasted less then an hour - when clearly there’s absolutely no shortage of fire wood around - $50 to use their 4wD tracks & silly money for mountain bikes.... This was a let down for us and other travellers we talked to felt the same way.

Loved the way there was a small walking track and the renovated rooms are just fantastic and worth the extra buck.

The entry sign was confused to me. There were holiday units, eco-vila, and Rawnsley Park Station caravan park along with the same road.
The location was good to visit Wilpena Pound and the kichinette facility was well furnished.
