Arkaba played host to a number of early explorers, including John McDouall Stuart, the Burke and Wills search party and in the last century, the painter, Hans Heysen. In true Wild Bush Luxury style, the Arkaba Homestead pays homage to its rich pastoral and exploration heritage in a manner that is both rustically chic and utterly exclusive. Four traditional style bedrooms are located in the homestead, each with an ensuite bathroom and access to the verandah for relaxing in the heat of day. The Coachmans Cottage in the corner of the garden provides a fifth guest room with ensuite bathroom.
