With the option to be involved in the activities of a working station Burrawang West offers guests a unique blend of relaxation and adventure.  There are twelve guest rooms divided among four individual colonial-style cottages. Most rooms have lovely views over the property which is quiet and tranquil and very typical of the Australian bushland.  Meals are enjoyed al fresco around the camp fire, in the formal dining room or picnic style at a table under the trees in the bush. Style Outback Retreat Accommodation Guests are accommodated in one of twelve suites, located within four beautifully appointed lodges, each with fully screened verandas for enjoyment of the sweeping views.  Each lodge is air-conditioned, has its own fireplace and is fully equipped with modern amenities.  All are furnished with a mix of contemporary style, classic Australian antiques and notable artworks.

Children Children are welcome & well catered for!  Prices available on request. Activities At Burrawang you are encouraged to explore and relax in the beauty of Australia's outback. Tour the historic cattle station by quad-bike; spend time with the cattlemen; take a canoe and paddle through the swaying gum trees and tranquil waterways; keep an eye out for kangaroos as you glide along the Yarrabandai billabong and in the evening star gaze through the telescope atop the purpose built observation tower. For those that like to keep active there is a tennis court, you may try your hand at archery or head to the local golf course for a round. The homestead boasts a sparkling pool as well as a sauna but in our opinion the ideal place to relax is the verandah where you can reflect on the open skies and endless views.   Wildlife includes birdlife at Leslie Lake, dingoes, kangaroos and wallabies and up to 500 buffalo are resident on the station. Fly to Port Keats with Franz and spend time with the aboriginal community there; go on a bush tucker walk, catch mud-crabs in the tidal flats (take them home for dinner) or buy locally produced artwork.
