The Wilderness Cabin offers peace and comfortable accommodation amid rolling hills.

This secluded cabin offers magnificent views of the Horseshoe Range Valley.

Attractions

The Cabin offers comfortable accommodation and is well furnished, with all cooking equipment in the kitchen.

The log fire is very efficient and the solar powered lighting excellent. Outside, guests can enjoy a campfire or BBQ.

There are enough beds for 10 thus making it ideal for families. However, it is also very popular with couples who really want to be alone!

As it overlooks the dam, you can sit inside and watch the wildlife come to the water at sunset. There are always plenty of Kangaroos and often Emus. Bird-watchers love it and have reported some rare species while staying there. A list of birds is in the Cabin.

The main activity is of course bush walking, and there is a variety of walks to do when based at the Cabin. The most popular is a 2 hour walk which follows the creek past a waterfall, and then follows a track up to Mount Stokes - the highest point of the Horseshoe Range. From there you can see views of the Flinders Ranges from Mount remarkable in the south to Wilpena Pound in the north.

Mookra Tower is another nearby landmark.

There is a four wheel drive track from the Cabin up to Mount Stokes, however it is for  experienced drivers and not for the faint hearted! Ben has some good stories about this track being made.

Your hosts, the Carns live 40 km away on another property, and as privacy is a big selling point of the Cabin, Ben and Susan generally leave the visitors alone. However, they are available on request if needs be!

At shearing time in September visitors are invited to go around the range to the big shearing shed and watch. Many consider this to be a highlight!

Most of the visitors are from Adelaide, Whyalla and interstate. Many bring overseas visitors with them to give them a taste of the real Australia - complete with kangaroos! Many clients return every year.
