We thoroughly enjoyed our two nights at Ooraminna. The rooms were well appointed, air conditioned, with comfy beds. We enjoyed relaxing on our verandah, some time at the nearby lookout and many swims in the new pool. The main homestead, bar, bistro and pool are also spot on. The staff are welcoming and accomodating. Highly recommend a stay at Ooraminna.

What a magical hidden gem this place is!! The family who runs the homestead are lovely and made us feel right at home. Stay up to see the stars litter the sky and give their friendly dog Scruffy a pat as you sit down to enjoy a meal (we had tapas, dinner and breakfast over the course our one night stay), all delicious and generous portions. The log cabin was like stepping back in time; pop the fans on and you'll sleep soundly. Pool was a highlight. Thank you Nicola and family for a relaxing and charming stay.
Nothing short of exceptional! The property is stunning, the owners were warm and hospitable, the food was 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 you’d expect. We will return again one day!
Dinner & movie, great night! Fabulous 'venue'. Food was really good & served beautifully. Will be going for a Sunday lunch based on this experience. Proper outback environment but close to town. Well done to hosts & chef!
The Sunday buffet lunch was delicious. It was a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon with family and friends. The people were super friendly. Nice scenery. There is an area that feels and looks like out of a western movie. Highly recommend to do it
Overpriced for unpowered site. This place left a bitter taste. We were greeted by 2 young staff (backpackers) who really didn't know much about the place and were not welcoming or informative. Seen no one else or any other staff for the entire visit. Questioned weather the place actually is a working station as the place seemed rather run down. If your wanting to see some Aussy cowboys or chat with a local who knows the area, dont bother with thjs place. The Homestead area was nice, but we camped no where near it and was made to feel like we were not allowed in the bar area. Pretty much go and find a spot in the paddock and dont both us for the rest of your visit kind of feel! The chef was not working, so we didn't even get a meal which I hear is a regular occurrence, (luckily we had some food) the beers were $15.00 each! Rediculous for somewhere that is only 30mins from Alice Springs! If your looking for a Station feel or experience, this is not the place. The camp area with glamping tents is full off cow poo with wild cattle hanging around which stunk, full of flies. It felt more like a massive sandpit in the cattle yards. Told we could camp at the old movie scene area, not a great option either. So we camped in an overgrown paddock full of ants, near the noisy windmill behind a dead tree for some shade. Too far from showers/ toilets so we couldnt use them. Pick a spot in a farmers paddock kinda feel for $50! Worst place we stayed for our entire trip.
