ACCOMMODATION & DINING

OVERVIEW

On this Flinders Ranges tour on foot you’ll  stay in the Heysen Cabins in Angorichina, at award winning Rawnsley Park Station and in the luxury glamping tents at Ikara Wilpena. All of these private accommodations are located in inspired locations and provide a welcoming and comfortable base to rest, relax and reflect on the day’s walking. The single supplement of $795.00 is for your own private ensuite on all 7 nights. If you’re happy to share a bathroom (not your room) for 4 nights on the trip then the single supplement can be reduced down to $410.00.

The two course a la carte dinners and cooked breakfasts at Rawsley and Ikara are prepared by their in-house chefs.

Each day whilst you’re walking you’ll be provided with a substantial walkers lunch, more importantly you’ll get to eat it at a fabulous location on the track. A walkers lunch may include a high protein type salad, a roll or a wrap, a muesli bar, cake or muffin and a piece of fruit. Each day is varied. The 2 course a la carte dinners and cooked breakfasts are all prepared by professional chefs.

There is also a focus on regional food and wine. Good wholesome food with kangaroo and emu occasionally on the menu. The region is remote, but world-class South Australian wine and a cold lager are within easy reach. We suggest that if you like wine then bring some for the first night at Angorichina ( or for the whole trip if you want your own pre dinner drinks).

Alcohol or drinks with meals are not included (except tea/coffee and juice with breakfast).

GENERAL INFO

This holiday starts and finishes in Rawnsley Park. Transport information is available on request.

The Flinders Ranges walks are moderate to challenging with some rough tracks, where you’ll cover shorter distances. Full day walks average about 19 km and 5-7.5 hours walking each day. The walking is over mostly flat, well-walked paths and bush tracks with some rocky sections. There are two days with steep sections. This is a great opportunity for fit walkers to challenge themselves, however easier options are available on some days. This is a reasonably long and tough walk and we highly recommend that you incorporate a rest day.

For what to bring please refer to Gear Advice on our FAQ section.

WEATHER

The best time to go is April through to September as it is the best weather for hiking in the Flinders Ranges. The temperature is still very comfortable to walk in but warm clothes are necessary as the temperature drops at night. This holiday is not available over the hot summer months of December to February.

See the Bureau of Meteorology’s information about average temperatures and rainfall at different times of the year.
