Burrawang West Station

Luxury in the Outback

435 kilometres west of Sydney in the heart of the New South Wales Outback, exclusive Burrawang West Station offers ‘splendid isolation’ at its very best! Here, overlooking the Lachlan River, an authentic Australian homestead designed to emulate the romance and elegance of the colonial era but with modern sophisticated comforts, has been built on this historic 10,000 acre working cattle station which once ran more than 273,000 head of sheep.

The twelve beautifully appointed guest suites are located in the four colonial-style cottages (aptly named the Barn, the Woolshed, Jackaroo Cottage and Jillaroo Cottage) that lie scattered between the homestead and the billabong – the screened verandahs and weathered timber cladding give no hint of the luxuries within. 

Burrawang’s homestead, which blends traditional elegance and country hospitality, has an elegant dining room, a living room, a billiards room and an impressive wine cellar (with a wide selection of Australian wines).

There’s plenty to do – from swimming in the heated pool to tennis, fishing, archery, canoeing, bushwalking and exploring by 4WD quad bike - or alternatively, enjoy a soothing massage or just relax on the verandah and watch the world ‘not’ go by! Burrawang West is perfect for those looking to experience the Outback in complete luxury and style! Access is via a scheduled flight to Parkes followed by a 45 minute transfer to Burrawang.

Suggested Itinerary

Day 1

Fly from Sydney to Parkes and transfer to Burrawang - an oasis of relaxation, luxury and elegance. Devour the crisp country air, explore the breathtaking farmland, enjoy the many activities or simply sit back and indulge in the gourmet food, wine, service and hospitality of Burrawang West.

Day 2

The next two days are at your leisure. Indulge in some or all of the Station’s activities - this environment is not only breathtaking, but it is one which inspires relaxation, serenity and rejuvenation. The immense sky sits low on the horizon and provides an ever-changing panorama of shifting moods and often-spectacular sunsets. Finish off the day by relaxing in the clubhouse with a couple of quiet drinks.

Day 3

If you get a chance, head out on a four-wheel-drive motorbike with Bill or jump in the ute. At Burrawang West, nothing is too much trouble. If you want to be left alone to just ponder the skies or roam around, that’s fine too. There are no rules. Visitors can select the menus, the eating times and the style of catering.
