Some Of The Outback’s Best Farmstays!

FARMSTAYS - real 'Aussie' experiences that you will talk about for years to come.

Whether you call them farm stays or station stays, the Australian outback is home to some of the most unique tourism experiences in the world! You can immerse yourself in true outback life, with a visit to a farm stay or station stay. Here you can truly get away from it all and begin to understand the powerful lure of such an outback lifestyle.

Station and farm stays are a unique holiday experience where visitors can gain more of an understanding of daily outback life. You may find yourself helping with the annual muster, rounding up sheep or crackin the whip on a herd of unruly bovine beasts.

After a hard day's work, you'll enjoy some famous outback hospitality with camp oven dinners, story telling around open log fires, scrumptious damper, and superb "5 Star" service under the Southern Sky.

With an Australian farm stay holiday, you can get a complete package of working farms and outback stations that are real Aussie experiences that you will talk about for years to come. The outback offers a range of accommodation styles and experiences, here are a few of the best we have discovered.
