Location Information
Located on Malgana Country on a beautiful nature conservation reserve, Hamelin Station Stay is a peaceful place to immerse yourself in the stunning landscape and learn about national conservation organisation Bush Heritage Australia’s work across Hamelin Station Reserve. A range of excellent unpowered sites are set amid the beautiful semi-arid landscape, with natural bush corridors surrounding the sites. Hamelin can cater for the largest caravans to those who only require a site to pitch a tent. Groups are also warmly welcomed. Located only 1km off the main road, the Station Stay is easily accessible for all vehicles. Communal modern bathroom facilities, with toilets and hot showers, are available to all guests, as well as a fully equipped powered camp kitchen, dining and barbecue area for a relaxing meal after a big day exploring. There is limited rainwater available.
