Arkaba

Set against the Ikara-Flinders Ranges, Arkaba Homestead, a member of Luxury Lodges of Australia, offers an all-inclusive retreat on a 63,000-acre conservation property. Once a working sheep station, Arkaba is now a private wildlife conservancy, where guests can escape the crowds and immerse themselves in the wilderness. The beautifully restored 1850s homestead blends heritage charm with modern comfort, offering five elegant rooms, gourmet meals, and fine South Australian wines. Explore the landscape through guided 4WD safaris, bushwalks, and wildlife encounters, or relax on the veranda as the sun sets over the ancient ranges. For deeper immersion, the Arkaba Walk—one of Australia’s Great Walks—offers a four-day trek through spectacular gorges and ridgelines, with nights in wilderness camps under the stars. At Arkaba, every experience showcases the best of the surrounding ranges, the history, and wildlife that calls the conservancy home.
