Windana Cottages

Just out of Hawker the views are amazing - plenty of kangaroos too. Cottage was comfortable and well appointed. Washing machine was handy. BBQ too. Hosts went out of their way for us. Great continental breakfast included. Firepit was great. Nice lookouts nearby for a sunset drink.

Nice property. A couple of minor maintenance issues: blind slats in main room don’t rotate. Bathroom sink partly blocked. Main issue however was Deb and Steve seem over busy. I called and emailed prior to arrival to confirm booking, time etc. as this is a remote area. The phone was off, no response to email. As it turned out, others had mistakenly checked into my room, after speaking to Deb on the way in. She didn’t pick up that they were the wrong people arriving a day early. I know they get a parade of people through each week, but still, it would be good if they were more responsive and checked who was supposed to be arriving each day. All that said, Deb sorted out the issue promptly and no harm done. It is a nice place, beautiful view from the lounge room and tables and chairs out the front make a great place to enjoy breakfast.

Very clean, comfortable and well provisioned units. The owners Deb and Steve are really lovely and very helpful. Our unit had an oven and a grill - somewhat old but in working condition! Seriously comfy beds and lovely and quiet at night. There’s a laundry and clothesline for guest use out the back of the units, and I was impressed to see a snakebite kit and instructions provided (not that we saw any, but it’s a very thoughtful addition!) We were in a 4wd but there’s a very steep/deep gully to get to the units so if your car is low, you might struggle. Stayed there 2 nights and would have been very happy to stay longer. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Windana cottages, and would stay again if I’m passing through Hawker.

If you want quiet out of town on your own (or with a friend) this js the place to come. Beautiful

We loved this property and would definitely stay again if in the area. A lovely cottage with a fully equipped kitchen with everything l could have needed. Bed was really comfortable and heater was good. Also a laundry close by . A beautiful view of the ranges was had as we enjoyed sitting by the open fire pit and watching kangaroos. Location was perfect. Two kms from hawker with peace and quiet.

The location is amazing! We spotted kangaroos next door on arrival. Far enough away from town to see all the stars in the night sky, but close enough for all your needs. The beds were comfortable, the shower was hot and the kitchen was basic but sufficiently stocked for cooking meals (we were a family of 5).

Lovely location, just out of the main part of town. Quiet and beautiful view of the Flinders Ranges. The cottage was very comfortable. Plenty of everything in the kitchen except an oven but there was toaster oven. Deb and Steve are very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

The location is close to town and quiet. Steve is a great host and the cottage was very comfortable with good beds, and many comfort touches. We thoroughly enjoyed our few days there.

The property was very clean and had everything we needed. Great location to explore the Flinders Ranges. Great communication with hosts and lots of helpful info in the cabin about places to explore. We loved it!
