Station Stays SA (SSSA)

The agri-tourism industry has been developing steadily in the Flinders Ranges and Far North SA for many years, as it has across other regions of Australia. The shift from pure pastoralism into agri-tourism has a few aspects. Droughts in the last few years and in the past have forced some pastoralists to look at other means of income, such as tourism, whilst others have simply chosen to expand their businesses, either with a view to staying on the land longer or to make the property more attractive in a sales market.

Station Stays SA was formed in November 2009 when a group of pastoral tourism businesses in the Flinders Ranges and Outback regions of SA got together for the first time to discuss various challenges and how they might be able to work together. After several get togethers Station Stays SA became a reality and now has over 25 stations and properties involved in the cluster.

The only criteria that the group have placed around membership is that you need to be located in the Flinders Ranges, Gawler Ranges or Outback areas of SA and that you have an agri-tourism/station stay business. If you fit this criteria and are interested in joining the Station Stays SA group, contact us today!
