Ooraminna's story of country, culture & community
On 200 hectares not far from Alice Springs, Ooraminna is a place to feel grounded within the rugged beauty, vast landscapes and tranquility of Central Australia.
This is Arrernte Country, where for tens of thousands of years there’s been continuous, culturally-rich connections to its deserts, springs and mountain ranges. Over a century ago, Deep Well Station cattle began grazing the land and in the 1980’s Ooraminna Homestead was imagined as a film set to bring legendary Aussie tales to life.
Today, Ooraminna’s vision is to provide a place where the remarkable environment is protected and visitors feel a sense of belonging amongst the ancient bushlands.
Trails lead to a spectacular lookout and life-giving billabong. Secluded cabins sit shadowed by red rock outcrops and camp sites are circled by blue mallee gums. Restaurant menus are inspired by the region and cooling off in the swimming pool as the sun sets is a stunning way to end the day. Experiences at Ooraminna invite connections with people, place and nature.
Escape into the wild, feel the rhythms of the red earth and stay immersed in an untamed wilderness beneath starry desert skies.
