1Overview
Overview

The Prairie Hotel was conceived after fourth-generation Flinders Ranges pastoralist and cattleman Ross Fargher and his wife Jane bought their local pub in the remote South Australian town of Parachilna over thirty years ago. An intimate retreat for up to 24 guests, the Outback Lodge offers warm hospitality and gourmet regional cuisine in relaxed country-chic style comfort. Soak up the ambience and expansive views of the remote and rugged countryside from the exclusive guest lounge and courtyard areas, as well as the hotel's onsite bar, restaurant, brewery and gallery of Indigenous and eclectic contemporary art. Further afield, explore the Ikara-Flinders Ranges and nearby Nilpena Ediacara National Park through a range of unique tours, including an extended visit to the active fossil research site and visitor precinct.
