Absolutely a gem of a place. Unique and breathtaking. Lots of see and the “Roof Top Tour” is a must. Staff are very friendly and you get to see the rock wallabies close up each afternoon as they are fed.

The whole Arkaroola experience was amazing! The house was spacious and although humble, it had everything we needed. We loved the ridge top tour & the sunset canapés were stunning, view & food/wine. We were lucky enough to have Caleb both times...
