    The self contained cottages are well priced and comfortable. We made full use of the cooking facilities and we were able to wash clothes too. They are very close to Hawker, so handy for shopping, fuel etc. Nice views at sunset too.

    Very quiet out of town location with a wonderful view towards the Flinders Ranges and mountains nearby. There was a very pleasant outdoor, undercover area to admire the view. The facilities were adequate and the place was very peaceful.

Company info

We fell in love with the outback on a trip to an outback farm in Broken Hill. We since have been looking for an old farm house on a little land to do up when we came across Windana Cottages and liked the idea of the cottages, plus the house and the cottages need a little TLC :-)

Property info

Windana Cottages is only 2k from town but when at the property, you feel the remoteness like you're a thousand miles from anywhere. Being only 2k from town means we can offer Internet free of charge with reasonably fast speeds to our guests via Wi-Fi and good mobile phone coverage. Being so close also means you can walk into town for a few beers and a meal without the issue of driving! We are also happy to collect you from town if the walk gets a bit too much :-)

Neighborhood info

There are lots of things to do while staying at Windana Cottages. Some things guests like to do are, bush walking, sight seeing (old ruins, caves, etc), visiting Wilpena Pound, seeing the spectacular paintings done by Jeff at the Jeff Morgan Gallery, have a meal at the local pub or the old Ghan restaurant, visit Blinman and take an underground mine tour or a meal at the pub, four wheel driving through gorges and lots of other interesting things!
