An ancient landscape moulded by millions of years of geological activity, the Ikara-Flinders Ranges in South Australia offers some of Australia’s most striking outback scenery. The spectacular mountain range is the largest in South Australia and stretches for over 430 km.
We acknowledge and pay respect to the Adnyamathanha people, the Traditional Custodians of the land upon which Arkaba stands. In sharing elements of their history, heritage and culture we acknowledge the Adnyamathanha people of Ikara (Flinders Ranges) and their connections to Country.
Craggy sandstone bluffs and dry creek beds studded with huge River Red Gums set the scene for Aboriginal creation stories going back time immemorial and a geological history that dates some hundreds of millions of years.
Discover an ancient and seemingly endless landscape by foot, on safari or by air and experience the beauty of prehistoric mountain ranges, enriched by Aboriginal creation stories thousands of years old and a geological history that dates hundreds of millions of years.
Each of Arkaba’s five bedrooms open out onto a shaded verandah with individual views of the surrounding ranges. In early morning, the rugged peaks of the Elder range are set alight by the morning sun, providing a teaser for what the rest of the property has in store.
