About this property
Catninga Station Flinders Ranges
Want to visit the magnificent Flinders Ranges with out travelling long distances? It's all here!
Located 26k's East of Port Augusta and nestled at the base of Mount Brown, Catninga is surrounded by spectacular views of the awe inspiring Flinders Ranges and the distant blue waters of Spencer Gulf.
Observe abundant flora and fauna including Kangaroos, emus, goannas and echidnas to name just a few.
When we have the time, we like to sit on the front verandah and watch the sunset. You are invited to share some nibbles and a drink with us on these occasions.
While enjoying your stay at Catninga, why not engage your hosts to take you on the exclusive 4x4 ridge top track. You won't be disappointed!
Enjoy scenic trails and tracks from rugged gorges with amazing rock formations and majestic gum creeks, to high ridge tops, where resident wedge-tailed eagles are often seen playing in the updrafts. The views from up there are breathtaking.
Take a hike along the Heysen Trail. It's on our boundary.
Use Catninga as a base to explore the surrounding old country towns or just sit and soak up the beauty and serenity that surrounds you.
Close Attractions include Pichi Richi Steam Train located at Quorn, a short and scenic drive away, Wadlata Outback Centre & Arid Lands Botanic Gardens, all located at Port Augusta as well as full shopping requirements. Go South for a short drive to the quaint towns of Quorn, Wilmington & Melrose, or perhaps choose North up to Hawker, Blinman or Craddock to get a taste of the outback is more your style.

Great outback experience.
Stayed in June 2017, weather was good, accommodation, warm, cosy and inviting.
Fantastic views and plenty of station life to experience. Outdoor fire was great. Our dog loved the place.
