About the hotel

The magic of the Australian outback has the power to take your breath away thanks to its vast and ancient landscapes, and there’s no better base for exploration than South Australia’s The Prairie Outback Lodge, within the iconic Prairie Hotel on the outskirts of the renowned Flinders Ranges. The lodge is a true outback oasis with unparalleled remoteness (5.5 hours from Adelaide) where you can share stories with locals and newcomers alike, enjoy a warm welcome with beer brewed in-house and watch as endless red plains dissolve into orange sunsets.

Adventurous travellers looking to explore the heart of Australia are within easy reach of some of the best outback sights. Traverse the Mars-like landscape to the 800-million-year-old Wilpena Pound or take to the air in a helicopter to truly appreciate this giant crater. Wake early to catch an epic sunrise from Bunyeroo Valley Lookout or gain an in-depth insight into the cultural significance of the Flinders Ranges when you join an Aboriginal cultural tour. Return to the comforts of this unique lodge, where you can savour dishes crafted from native ingredients at Gallery Restaurant and clink glasses of beer fermented to perfection in the onsite Brewhouse (opening 2022).

Highlights

The Lodge – An escape made exclusive by its remoteness, on the fringes of the Flinders Ranges

Experience a unique escape to a destination made exclusive by its breathtaking remoteness at The Prairie Outback Lodge, within the iconic Prairie Hotel. Follow the solitary dusty red road of the Outback Highway (5.5 hours from Adelaide CBD) to this outback oasis, hidden near the iconic Flinders Ranges and Wilpena Pound.

This ancient landscape (brimming with more than 600 million years of ancient and Indigenous history) is made up of deep craters, gorges, creeks and iconic sites like Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre and Wilpena Pound, a colossal natural amphitheatre. Spend long days exploring some of Australia’s most quintessential sites and return to the comfort of your lodge, where a warm welcome from fellow travellers and locals is accompanied by an ice-cold beer from the onsite Brewhouse. Fuel your outback discovery at Gallery Restaurant, where fine dining is sharing a Flinders feral feast and sipping a glass of shiraz as the sunsets into the endless red plains.

Your Handpicked Inclusions – Welcome drinks, daily à la carte breakfast, nightly culinary experiences and Prairie tasting menu experience

The journey into South Australia’s remote and vast outback is long and bumpy – what better remedy for the journey than a glass of wine or ice-cold beer when you arrive at your lodge? Fuel up each morning with daily à la carte breakfast at the Gallery Restaurant and after a day of ticking off quintessential Aussie bucket list experiences, before returning to a delicious culinary experience every evening. Dishes are made using native ingredients: enjoy everything from quandongs (native peaches) to wattle seeds, saltbush and mountain pepper berries. Nothing truly immerses you in a region like tasting the local flavours.

Speaking of, be treated to a one-time Prairie tasting menu and dessert, which includes a platter filled with tasty bites such as kangaroo pastrami, goats cheese, chargrilled vegetables, house-made bush tomato chilli jam, warm ciabatta bread, quandong dessert and more. Accompanying your platter is a glass from the lodge’s own Fargher Lager brew or a glass of Flinders Range sparkling, white or red wine.
