Eco Villa Excellence

I stayed in one of the eco-villas for two nights and was beyond impressed with the design and quality. The high standard of cleanliness and decor complemented the surroundings perfectly. The skylight allowed for stargazing at night, and the large sliding door provided a stunning night sky view right from the bed. It was a lovely touch that enhanced the whole experience.

Delicious Dining Experience

Dinner at the Woolshed was a highlight of my stay. I had the Lamb Cutlets, and they were amazing! The atmosphere was cozy, making it a perfect end to my day of exploring. I highly recommend trying the local dishes, they truly capture the essence of the region!

Stunning Views from Bed

Staying in the superior cabin, I was mesmerized by the amazing views from my bedroom. The design allowed me to enjoy stunning sunrises right from my bed each morning. The cabin was equipped with everything I needed for a cozy stay, and the peaceful surroundings made it a perfect retreat.

I had a wonderful stay at the Eco Villas! The accommodations are beautifully spaced out, offering stunning views of the Flinders Ranges. The self-catering setup was convenient, and I appreciated the breakfast provisions. However, the service fell short when it came to dining options, with the restaurant being fully booked during my visit, which was quite disappointing. Overall, the Villas are comfortable but come with a hefty price tag, and I felt the service could improve.

Rawnsley Park Station is a fantastic hidden gem in the Flinders Ranges. The eco villas are comfortable and have a unique design that keeps them cool in summer and warm in winter. While I enjoyed the stunning location and scenic flights, the service could use some improvement, as I found the staff less than accommodating, especially concerning dining reservations. Overall, it’s a memorable experience for nature lovers, but make sure to plan ahead for meals.

My stay at Rawnsley Park was a mixed bag. While I enjoyed the stunning location and found the cabin spacious and comfortable, my experience was marred by significant maintenance issues and a lack of adequate customer service. Despite being in a beautiful area with opportunities for great dining and exploration, I felt let down by the untidy state of the unit and unaddressed problems. I'd recommend visiting but approach with caution regarding accommodations.
