Wooleen Station

Wooleen Station is a wonderful, relaxing, rewarding experience. It had been on our bucket list for some time as we had read the Wooleen Way some years before and seen the Australian story reports so were keen to visit. We were not disappointed. We feel privileged to have been there and enjoyed every moment of our 3 night stay. We camped in camper trailers at the remote riverside campsites and it was an extraordinary location. The sites are very private and quiet and the night sky in such a remote place is just amazing. The staff were very welcoming and a big shout out to Sheryl who greeted us in the cafe and was so professional but friendly. The walks are lovely and it is well worth buying the little booklet that describes all the points of interest. The dingo talk was really interesting. Sadly, the sunset tour was booked out as we were very interested to hear David talk about Wooleen. Maybe next time. We highly recommend a visit to Wooleen and wish we could have stayed longer.

I’ve just returned from an incredible stay at Wooleen Station and I absolutely LOVED every moment of it. David and Frances should be highly commended for the amazing work they are doing to preserve and share this unique part of outback Western Australia. I stayed in the hosted homestead and it was flawless – the rooms were beautifully presented and comfortable, the service was attentive without ever being intrusive, and the facilities were outstanding. The food was a real highlight – fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared. Every member of staff I encountered was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Wooleen Station is a true gem, offering not only a wonderful place to stay but also an inspiring insight into life on a working station. I can’t wait to return in 2026!

What a fabulous experience at Wooleen Station! This is truly an escape from the hustle and bustle. So refreshing to slow down the pace, appreciate our country, take in the surroundings, forget about technology and connect with real people and their life stories. The sunset tour was spectacular and the dingo talk was informative and interesting. David and Frances are the ultimate hosts, creating a destination that is remarkable. The meals at the Homestead are delicious and credit to all the staff that are so welcoming and friendly. Thank you so much, the three of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had a wonderful 2 night stay at Wooleen Station in the homestead. Delicious food, the lovely little café, and stunning scenery everywhere we looked. Frances and David were incredible hosts. Zali’s dingo encounter was unforgettable, the hikes were beautiful, and the sunset tour was a highlight. We also loved learning how the Pollock family are working towards ecological sustainability. Highly recommend! Alison + Melanie

Such a beautiful experience not to be missed. We were met at Reception by the lovely & friendly Cheryl who gave us a very informed run down on the property & very clear instructions to get to our riverside camp site some 16km from reception. Beautiful Hot showers & flushing toilets were provided at reception which were very well received after a hot dusty drive. We joined the not to be missed sunset tour which took us through the property to a sunset viewing with drinks & nibbles at a sacred Aboriginal site. Throughout the tour our guide David gave us a very informed overview of the property & his evolving plans for reviving it from previous overstocking etc. We loved every moment of our stay & hope one day to return. Do yourself a favour. Oh, & the coffee is great too!

We stayed for 3 nights as part of a 6 member flying tour group. Firstly the Airstrip is the best non sealed airstrip I have landed on. We enjoyed the whole experience. The service was A1. The wine selection was also excellent. However what you are doing with the environmental work is highly commendable, and gave me great pleasure to know that people like you are looking after the environment so well on your station. Regards David

We were blessed with returning to Wooleen Station and camping for 3 nights at one of the beautiful Murchison river sites. Despite the weather winter brings we were kept cosy by the fire and warmed by the changing sky scape. Remote camping at Wooleen allows for purpose and relationship to your surroundings. There is true peace and restoration and the reason we keep coming back. We were greeted so kindly on our arrival at the reception and despite a 16km return we were drawn back to embrace a comforting hot shower at the cafe each evening. This is truly special place! Thank you Wooleen xx

Sincere thankyou to David & Francis, & their very happy staff. We drove straight up from Perth, stayed in the homestead for three nights, accommodation and food on par with anywhere in the world – a credit to all working here. The sharing of meals, particularly at night after drinks with other homestead guests is good fun. The formal dining room was an unexpectedly pleasant experience. I recommend all the tours….the sunset tour – Davids good humour whilst covering the very serious topic of land rehabilitation, the animals living on it, and then followed by a drink sitting on a huge rock looking out at the landscape. The dingo talk followed by the dingo experience was just brilliant – of course try to book that as well. The work being done towards preserving and rehabilitating this part of the country, where they call home is inspiring. The positivity is infectious, and justifiable based on the hard work and hard decisions made over the years, they are seeing the benefits. To be able support their environmental goal in a small way by staying on the station, is definitely a privilege. To quote the great Aussie Molly Meldrum – “Do yourself a favour” and book Wooleen for a few nights.
