I had a wonderful stay at the Eco Villas! The accommodations are beautifully spaced out, offering stunning views of the Flinders Ranges. The self-catering setup was convenient, and I appreciated the breakfast provisions. However, the service fell short when it came to dining options, with the restaurant being fully booked during my visit, which was quite disappointing. Overall, the Villas are comfortable but come with a hefty price tag, and I felt the service could improve.

Rawnsley Park Station is a fantastic hidden gem in the Flinders Ranges. The eco villas are comfortable and have a unique design that keeps them cool in summer and warm in winter. While I enjoyed the stunning location and scenic flights, the service could use some improvement, as I found the staff less than accommodating, especially concerning dining reservations. Overall, it's a memorable experience for nature lovers, but make sure to plan ahead for meals.

My stay at Rawnsley Park was a mixed bag. While I enjoyed the stunning location and found the cabin spacious and comfortable, my experience was marred by significant maintenance issues and a lack of adequate customer service. Despite being in a beautiful area with opportunities for great dining and exploration, I felt let down by the untidy state of the unit and unaddressed problems. I'd recommend visiting but approach with caution regarding accommodations.
