We were absolutely blown away by our stay at Ooraminna Station on the weekend. The staff were lovely and the food was some of the best we had ever had. The cute animals following us was a bonus. Cabins were clean and well situated, hadn’t lost any of its heritage at all. Highly recommended to anyone

We rode our bikes from Alice Springs and booked 3 cabins. They were clean, warm and comfortable. We used the Bbq area and the staff were friendly and very helpful. We had an amazing stay and will do it again

We stayed at the Tin House. Great fire pit but spa bath shown in the photo on the website was not a spa, rather a corner bath. Fantastic location but inadequate cooking facilities and crockery and cups for a cup of tea. $15 for one beer at the restaurant. Overall, average but could be Excellent with a few changes. Review from local Alice Springs resident!

Nothing short of exceptional! The property is stunning, the owners are warm and hospitable, the food is delicious and the cabin had a comfortable bed, air conditioning and all the amenities you could need! Couldn’t recommend the station enough for an authentic outback station experience with the comforts and thoughtful touches. We will return again one day!

Absolutely dysfunctional. We turned up and they didn't even know we had a booking. The place was a mess. We did not stay. Total shambles.

Tucked away in the heart of Australia’s NT lies the hidden gem of Ooraminna Station Homestead, expertly curated by owner Nicky Lorimer. This former cattle ranch and movie set (famed for Ted Egan's "The Drover's Boy") is steeped in rich history and diverse culture. Accommodations: •⁠ ⁠4 cabins offering simplistic comfort •⁠ ⁠4 glamping tents available during winter months (perfect for stargazing) •⁠ ⁠Refreshing pool overlooking the Ooraminna Hills Dining: •⁠ ⁠Savor delicious, authentic Aussie fare at the on-site restaurant and bar •⁠ ⁠Enjoy stunning views of the surrounding landscape Night Sky Experience: •⁠ ⁠Take a short 250-meter stroll in any direction for unparalleled stargazing •⁠ ⁠Witness the breathtaking Milky Way in all its glory •⁠ ⁠Capture stunning night photos with ease The Verdict: Ooraminna Station Homestead embodies the true essence of the Outback. With its unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty, this destination is a must-visit for any traveler seeking an immersive Australian experience. Recommendation: Don't miss the opportunity to experience Ooraminna's warm hospitality, exceptional cuisine, and awe-inspiring night skies. Book your stay and create unforgettable memories in the heart of Australia. I would recommend staying in the cooler months

De lokatie is schitterend, echt een outback experience. Het eten ook geweldig. Het was bijzonder donker in onze Cabin, er vloog een vleermuis door de kamer, om in de badkamer te komen moest je buitenom. Iedereen schrijft lyrisch over de wandeling met de Wildlife man. Het is absoluut een karaktervolle man, maar hij was niet aardig en hoorde zichzelf bijzonder graag. Veel geleerd, maar dat was echt een teleurstelling. Ook was mij niet duidelijk wat er verder misschien allemaal nog mogelijk was aan activiteiten. Gemiste kans!

The accommodation was unique. The road to the tin hut from the homestead could be improved. Staff were lovely. Complimentary bush breakfast (damper and jam) would be a nice addition to the experience. Amazing sunset and rock formations everywhere. Enjoyed our stay.
