BULLO RIVER STATION

After a dusty day in the saddle, Bullo River Station provides plenty of ways to refresh and recharge. The station’s 12 cabin-style rooms are painted in soothing tones of white and grey with rustic touches such as wood panelled walls and large, metal-framed beds, while the spacious bathrooms are stocked with indulgent Vasse Virgin Olive Oil toiletries. Laid out around the station’s sparkling, rock-rimmed swimming pool, each room opens out onto a private deck overlooking tropical gardens and rockeries – the perfect place to relax and soak in those unforgettable Australian sunsets. If you want to take your accommodation to the next level, you can also book a night or two in the Lake View Hut, a remote escape perched on a rocky hill only accessible by helicopter. You can also share your day’s experiences with other guests at the station’s comfy communal area, or enjoy alfresco dining on the deck of Bullo River Station’s 1950s-style lodge.
