The Station - El Questro, WA
If ticking off epic outback experiences is on your list, start here.
Settle in by the Pentecost River at The Station, where wide-open spaces and lush gardens meet the rugged beauty of the Kimberley. Whether you’re travelling with the family, your better half, or your sense of adventure, this is your all-access pass to nature at its finest—with just right amount of comfort. Sleep in riverview cabins or tents with added touches like air conditioning to keep things cool, while curious kids (and grown-ups) can roam, splash, and spot wildlife just beyond the doorstep.
There’s a natural swimming hole for hot afternoons, the Swinging Arm Bar for golden-hour drinks, and not one but two places to eat—grab a bite from the Cantina or go full outback gourmet at the Steakhouse Restaurant. Got a taste for adventure? Hop on a horse, take a hike, rev up a 4WD, or lift off in a helicopter (yep, really) to discover waterfalls, gorges and epic lookouts.
From April to October, The Station is your launchpad for all things El Questro. It's laid-back, lively, and just the right amount of wild.
Emma Gorge - El Questro, WA
Set against the soaring red cliffs of the Cockburn Ranges, Emma Gorge brings the drama—without making you rough it. Here, tented cabins blend seamlessly into the rugged landscape, giving you that under-the-stars feel with the added joy of electricity, a comfy bed and your own ensuite. Think canvas on the outside, creature comforts on the inside.
You’ll wake to birdsong and fall asleep to the soft hum of the bush. By day, cool off in the turquoise swimming pool, grab a bite at the restaurant, or lace up for the epic hike to Emma Gorge itself—an unforgettable trail that ends in a crystal-clear plunge pool and towering cliffs that’ll steal your breath (in the best way).
With all the essentials—like tea, coffee, a laundry, and even a retail store—Emma Gorge is your go-to for an immersive nature stay, minus the hassle. It’s a ‘remember forever’ kind of place. Because camping is fun… but glamping with views like this? Even better.
Lake Argyle, WA
Perched high above one of Australia’s biggest lakes (yep, second-largest freshwater lake, no big deal), Discovery Resorts Lake Argyle serves up next-level scenery and that iconic infinity pool—cliffside, crystal clear, and the ultimate spot to soak up a Kimberley sunset. Whether you’re camping under the stars, rolling in with your caravan, or treating yourself to a cabin with a view of the lake, there’s a slice of paradise here with your name on it.
From sunrise to sundown, Lake Argyle is all about choose-your-own-adventure. Cruise the lake’s remote bays, spot freshwater crocs and flocks of birds on a wildlife tour, hop on a bike, or dive straight into the calm waters for a swim like no other. And if you really want to level up? Step aboard the Kimberley Durack—our custom-built tour boat—for an unforgettable journey across the lake’s maze of islands.
It’s remote, it’s relaxing, and it’s ridiculously beautiful. Come for the pool. Stay for the everything else.
Kings Canyon, NT
Ready for a trip that really rocks? Kings Canyon is the kind of outback experience that deserves a spot on every adventurer’s bucket list. Set right between Alice Springs and Uluru in the heart of the Red Centre, Discovery Resorts Kings Canyon is your front-row seat to one of Australia’s most jaw-dropping natural wonders—carved over 440 million years and rich in cultural significance to the Traditional Owners of the land.
Here, you can explore soaring red cliffs, wander ancient trails, and cool off in hidden rock pools deep in the canyon’s Garden of Eden (yes, it’s as dreamy as it sounds). Join a guided walk to learn about the flora, fauna and culture that stretches back tens of thousands of years, or set your own pace on a self-guided adventure.
After a day of epic hiking, return to your kind of comfort—whether that’s a modern room with a private balcony, or a spot under the stars in one of the Red Centre’s most scenic campgrounds. Kings Canyon is all about the contrasts: rugged and restful, remote and remarkable. And yes, it will rock your world.
Undara, QLD
There’s a lot to lava-bout Undara. Set on the edge of the Undara Volcanic National Park, this is outback Queensland with a twist—where ancient geology meets quirky stays and good ol’ fashioned hospitality. The star attraction? The world’s oldest lava tubes, formed over 190,000 years ago and only accessible by guided tour (hot tip: book it with your accommodation so you don’t miss out!)
At Discovery Resorts Undara, you can sleep in a beautifully restored railway carriage, pitch a tent under the stars, or roll in with your caravan. There are powered and unpowered sites, and even ready-to-go swag tents if you're packing light. After a day of exploring, cool off in the billabong-style pool, grab a cold one at the heritage Saloon Car Bar, or gather ‘round for billy tea by the campfire.
And when the sun goes down? The show’s not over. Undara’s remote skies offer some of the best stargazing around. With no city lights in sight, the Milky Way puts on a nightly display that’s pure magic.
From lava flows to shooting stars, Undara is truly one-of-a-kind—and a bucket-list stop you didn’t know you needed.
Wilpena Pound, SA
Set at the base of the Flinders Ranges—aka the world’s oldest mountain range—Wilpena Pound is your launchpad for all things ancient, awe-inspiring and wildly beautiful. This 800-million-year-old landscape is steeped in time and story, with 350 million years of geological history you can literally walk through (and touch). It’s also home to the Adnyamathanha people, who have cared for this land for tens of thousands of years—and still do, with powerful cultural tours that share the stories of the region.
It's the only accommodation inside the Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park, and it’s packed with options—camp under the stars, stay in a glamping tent with a private deck, or go for a modern resort room with all the comforts. By day, head out hiking, biking, 4WDing or even take flight for a scenic aerial view. And by night? Let the stars steal the show. With next to no light pollution, the skies here are something else. Grab a sky map from the visitor centre and prepare to be starstruck.
It’s ancient, authentic and totally unforgettable. Wilpena Pound is outback South Australia at its most spectacular.
