• Garforth (10/5): - Excellent cottage. Very comfortable and well equipped. Nothing, all was fine.
• Ross (10/5): The accommodation was perfect as a launch pad for Wilpena Pound. - Out of town location was good. Breakfast items were provided. Good views of the Flinders Ranges. Host was helpful.
• Mandy (10/5): Great starting point for the ranges. - Great location, friendly check in with host, generous breakfast. Excellent dinner recommendation to Craddock Hotel too. Nothing
• Patricia (9/5): -
• Danny (9/5): -
• Brett (8/5): Relaxing - Location was lovely - the view straight out from the porch was great. Easy to reach Wilpena Pound one way and Quorn the other. Cosy inside with the heater on.
• Gillian (8/5): Fantastic -
• Ashley (10/5): Hidden Gem - very comfortable and great location -
• Anna (10/5): Cudowne miejsce - Byliśmy bardzo miło zaskoczeni czystością, troską o szczegóły, dbałością o wyposażenie apartamentu. Znalazło się w nim wszystko, co jest potrzebne turystom wracającym z wyprawy do parku narodowego. Apartament jest wygodny, gustownie urządzony z bardzo dobrze wyposażoną łazienką i kuchnią. Gospodarze zadbali również o to, aby wieczorem miło i wygodnie można było podziwiać gwiazdy. Rekomendujemy każdemu kto marzy o pobycie w cudownym otoczeniu przyrody i z dala od ludzi. Wielka szkoda, że mieszkamy w Europie bo z pewnością bylibyśmy częstszymi gośćmi. Dziękujemy Steve and Deb Czystość, gustowny wystrój, dobre wyposażenie
• AKANKSHA (9/5): -
• Kevin (8/5): - Great location Kim kimba and great value A bit dated but considering price was great
• Lisa (10/5): - We loved the location. Quiet and beautiful scenery.. We would have loved to stay longer but not able to this time due to work commitments...
• Phyllis (6/5): - View. Clean linen and bathroom facilities. Basic accommodation and provisions. I.e.. 3 small tea cups from a previous set, one with a chip. Glasses were dirty with finger and lip marks. Some basic provisions like paper towel and glad wrap could be provided along with a serving platter, better knives.
• JEAN-MARC (8/5): -
• Ada (10/5): Großartig! - Die Lage Nichts
• Christine (9/5): We loved it and had a wonderful time exploring the area. - The position of the property-it felt remote and the sense of peace and stillness it provoked. It was well equipped and included a continental breakfast. Coffee pod machine was great. As a couple it was perfect but may be a little small for 4 adults.

• Anne (8/5): Great stay at Windana - Loved the outdoor seating & fire pit. Great feeling of space with views. Heating worked really well & showers were hot. Friendly welcome. Nice vibe in Hawker. Water came out of shower a bit but not a big deal.
• Belinda (8/5): Beautiful location, comfortable and well presented - Beautiful setting. Comfortable and clean. Nice breakfast supplies Good to have a washing machine Deb & Steve very quick to respond and helpful with local information The shower/drainage on bathroom floor The fact the second bedroom was locked, no where to put suitcases as area quite compact
• Kevin (4/5): - The propery surrounds where untidy and unkempt
• Amanda (10/5): Wonderful little getaway spot on a road trip to the Flinders - Everything: very close to Hawker and the hosts thought of everything; hanging hooks behind bedroom doors, electric blankets on the beds, even tissues in the bathroom. Couldn’t have asked for more Absolutely nothing
• Brian (7/5): -
• Keith (10/5): - We have stayed with Steve and Deb many times, the Flinders never loses its appeal. This time we invited our UK friends for a taste of the outback, we had 4 days in the Flinders, plenty of time to checkout the gorges etc. Unfortunately it rained and rained and we were restricted to the sealed roads only, sometimes the best laid, and longest laid plans just don't work out, perhaps next time.
• Yolinda (9/5): -
• Juli-Anne (10/5): - Amazing location, quiet, spacious, good choices for making breakfast in the room. Loved our stay there and would stay again if we come back this way.
• Juli-anne (10/5): Exceptional - The location and view was amazing. We woke up to a beautiful sunrise and Kangaroos. Peaceful area. Loved everything about the property. Breakfast choices in the rooms was great. Thanks
• Robyn (7/5): A clean, cosy unit in a quiet rural area. - Quiet rural area but not too far from Hawker township. Free use of washing machine. Would have liked to have a dryer for clothes.
• Andrew (8/5): very comfortable and very well appointed, especially given Hawker's remote location -
• Anthony (9/5): Superb -
• John (8/5): Ideal stopover - Classic farm cottages
• Jill (9/5): Superb -
• Robyn (7/5): Good -
• Julie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ann (10/5): Certainly worth staying for at least a night or two or more! - Everything you could need. Lively little breakfast to get you going for the day.
• Stephen (9/5): Excellent accommodation with lovely views, - Clean, spacious and well-equipped. Very quiet. Great view, beautiful night sky, sunsets and sunrises. Washing machine. I would have liked a larger saucepan for cooking pasta and stronger light to read by in the living area - but these are minor quibbles.
• Margaret (10/5): Relaxing, close to shops and Flinders Ranges.Highly recommend this accomodation. - Breakfast was very generous. Good laundry with everything you need. House was quiet and relaxing.

• Veronica (10/5): Exceptional - Awesome location
• Lisa (10/5): Perfect - The property was perfect: great location, comfortable beds, just what we needed for cooking, nice bathroom and lots of thoughtful items for breakfast.
• Norman (10/5): How’s the Serenity? - We had a brilliant stay here under the Milky Way and a billion stars. If you are looking for a wonderfully-equipped, comfortable and well-located cottage, look no further. Deb and Steve have put a lot of thought into setting up Windana and our only regret was having to leave after a two-night stay. A perfect base from which to explore the glorious Flinders Ranges. Oh, and you can get a decent mobile signal here as a bonus.
• Christopher (10/5): A beautiful spot. - The property was very well supplied, including coffee making options, plus coffee.,Everything was very functional and comfortable. The natural environment, walk options and views make Windana Cottages a WINNER. The hosts, Deb and Steve were easygoing. I would skip the lace curtains for a clear view of the landscape from the dining table. A china teapot to keep up with the coffee makers would be great too.
• Neil (9/5): Superb -
• Robert (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jo-ann (9/5): Superb sunrise & sunset… loved being immersed in in the desert. - The views of the Flinders Ranges were exceptional … we loved soaking up the desert atmosphere and the quiet of nature . In particular the sunrise and sunsets… just beautiful ❤️ No complaints.
• Andrew (8/5): Wild. - Amazing night sky, with no nearby light pollution. Kangaroos within sight of the house. Breakfast only on the first morning. On Booking. Com it looked like daily.

• Desne (7/5): Enjoyable - Beautiful location, lovely views, close to Flinders Ranges, comfy bed, clean, well equipped. Just a small thing, but when you’ve been out sightseeing you just want to relax at night, and we found the TV mounted too high on the wall for comfort.
• Brian (9/5): Superb -
• Angela (8/5): Very good -
• Ross (9/5): Superb - The cottage was excellent and being just out of town on a farm was a bonus. We certainly enjoyed our stay and would book again or recommend to friends. Couple of very small things that I advised the hosts
• Megan (9/5): We really enjoyed our stay and would be happy to go back, the owners were very welcoming. - Breakfast was good. The owners were very helpful and friendly. There were bicycles available for borrowing at no extra cost which we took advantage of. The firepit was an added attraction and we were able to collect firewood on the property to use.
• Rosemarie (10/5): Lovely views and quiet place - Quiet location and great views.
• Christine (9/5): Would definitely recommend & stay again - Clean& quiet, friendly welcome I found the pillow & mattress a bit firm for my liking but the rest of our group were happy
• Dkho (10/5): Great place to stay - My family enjoyed a delightful 4-night stay at Windana Cottages in late September 2024. It is possibly the best place to be based while exploring the Flinders Ranges, being just 2 km from the town of Hawker which has the basic amenities you would need for a trip, and a 40-minute drive to Wilpena Pond where most of the walks and scenic drives start from. At the same time, the cottages had that sense of remoteness of living in the outback that we were wanting to experience – we were surrounded by sheep and the undulating ranges, and we were treated to open skies that showcased dazzling stars at night and glowing sunrises in the morning. The cottages themselves are very comfortable and equipped with all the things we needed for our holiday accommodation – solid beds, hot showers and plenty of cooking equipment. We also appreciated the generous breakfast supplies provided in the cottages, from bread, muffins and cereals to various spreads, juices and beverages. The hosts were friendly and unobtrusive, and it was nice to know that they were in the farmhouse a little way off or a phone call away had we needed any help. For anyone planning a trip to the Flinders Ranges, we would definitely recommend staying at Windana Cottages. You could not ask for a better location and at far better value for money than most other accommodation in the area.
• Elizabeth (10/5): - The cottage was a good size for the four of us. Clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Peaceful surrounds on a property outside Hawker.
• Gail (10/5): Highly recommend this lovely property - So unexpectedly welcoming. Great view. Very nicely appointed All good
• Phillip (10/5): Exceptional -
• Phillip (10/5): Superb location, excellent views and very high quality facilities. - Breakfast facilities and other essentials were all available. Cooking facilities were also perfect.
• Wendy (8/5): Beautiful scenic location just outside Hawker - Lovely peaceful scenic location. Very good self contained unit not far from Hawker for a coffee, meals etc. fantastic drive to Wilpena pound and beyond. Laundry facilities were a bonus. Nothing
• Robyn (10/5): Loved our stay - Amazing location , we were so happy with our choice to stay at Windana Cottages . Excellent place to base yourself for a few days
• Michele (10/5): Fabulous. Hubby says best accommodation he has stayed in! - Steve and Deb have gone out of their way to ensure their accommodation is superb- nothing to fault. Clean, spacious, fresh. Quiet - Only 2 cottages. Milk, teas, coffee etc. washing facilities provided. Nothing to fault
• Jillian (10/5): Relaxing and quiet - Comfortable bed, nice new bathroom, absolute peace and quiet. Gorgeous sunrise and sunset. Incredible view of stars. Nice continental breakfast provisions. Washing machine not in unit.
• David (9/5): Beautiful place to stay - Beautiful surroundings. Everything you need supplied in the cottage. Very helpful host. Small issue only. Found the shower a bit challenging as the water ends up everywhere on the bathroom floor.
• Deborah (10/5): Exceptional -
• Winnie (5/5): Not worth for money - very bad quality of cooking utensils we’re a family of 4 and pot is so small can only cook for 2
• Manu (10/5): Windana cottage was the perfect stop in our driving holiday north through the Flinders and onwards. - Great property just out of town and amazing panoramic views. Well thought out fitments and has everything you would need.
• CLAIRE (10/5): - Only a very little way out of Hawker but so much better to stay than right in Wilpena pound A] because of cost much more economical & you can do your own cooking B]nwhen driving in and out of Wilpena so many of the sights are along the same Rd. So, plan what you want to see and plan your day trips. And remember : stay off the Rd from Dusk onward because of Kangaroos. Also watch out for Emus & their chicks they are around often all throughout the day and wander across the Road. Enjoy making a lifetime memories of a beautiful area.
• Jürg (10/5): Great outback experience! - The location, close to Wilpena Pound, the cleanliness and the breakfast that they had prepared for us. Make sure to walk up the camel's hump, in walking distance to the cottage. -
• Helen (8/5): Clean, quiet and warm. - There was no breakfast provided. THe key was left inside the unit and was easy to find. There was no oven but the hostess allowed us to use her oven which was greatly appreciated.
• Eileen (9/5): Would stay again good location for Heysen trail walk and easy access to local restaurants - Super comfy beds with electric blankets which offset the cold weather.
• Allaboutheview (9/5): Superb - The location was brilliant for sightseeing in Wilpena Pound and so close to town. The cottage was very comfortable - instant hot water, warm cosy beds, Netflix and free wifi. It was also spotless, you can tell the owners take great pride in their accommodation. Loved our stay, would definitely stay again. Nothing, it was perfect for our needs.
• Kristine (10/5): - Our stay at Windana Cottages was great, it was well appointed, clean and tidy. We were very impressed with the continental breakfast, its not something you get at a lot of places. I will be recommending this property to friends and family.
• David (10/5): A great stay for the Flinders Rangers - Great location just outside Hawker - so in the countryside but convenient to town and all the Flinders Ranges has to offer. Cottage had everything you could expect and more with a helpful host and information provided. Great stay!
• Carolyn (9/5): Quiet & comfortable - Really quiet location, close enough to Hawker town services. Good size cottage and bed, good facilities Would have been good to have a drier but this is a minor point.
