The Shearers Quarters were used every year to house the shearing team until damara sheep (South African sheep that do not need shearing) replaced the merino flock. The Quarters has recently been restored and is now offered as a 'backpacker style' accommodation. It's a great option for backpackers, school/university groups, large fishing groups, weddings etc.

Powered sites provided approximately 10 hours of power throughout the day (5 hours in the morning and then 5 hours in the evening).

Please note, as we produce our own power and do not have the electrical capacity to run high energy appliances such as electric kettles, microwaves, air conditioners and hot water heaters. Fridges, charging booths, lights, radios, TVs, van batteries etc. will all work.

Unpowered waterfront sites sit on top of a dune with panoramic views on the Indian Ocean and Front Beach. Watch humpback whales cruise past on their annual migration (May - June) from the comfort of your own camp, or walk 50 metres down to the beach to enjoy your sunset drinks.

Note:

• Unfortunately dual axle and large caravans are not suitable for these sites.
• These sites are stunning during the calm winter months but are highly exposed to the summer winds. Please consider the potential weather conditions before booking your site.

Unpowered campsites are scattered throughout the Quobba homestead, and you are free to choose the one that best suits you within the boundaries of the camp. Unpowered sites are suitable for all types of campers, whether you're in a swag, tent, campervan, caravan or big rig.

Enjoy sunset overlooking the ocean from the communal fire pit or take a walk along the Gidgie Trail, experiencing a mix of inland and coastal scenery. There are several unpowered share shelters available that are allocated on a 'first in, best dressed' basis. The Front Beach goes straight to the reef so isn't great for swimming, but is perfect for beach walking, collecting shells and enjoying the marine life (whales and turtles can commonly be sighted during their migratory/laying seasons).

There are two eco retreats which are located just south of the Red Bluff homestead. The retreats are hard deck safari tents featuring a queen bed, fully equipped kitchenette, full-sized fridge/freezer, microwave, gas cooker, 24 hour solar panels and ensuite.

Note: bed linen/towels/pillows not supplied.

The 3 seascape bungalows are hard deck safari tents, located south of the Red Bluff homestead and overlooking the Indian Ocean. Each bungalow accommodates up to 6 guests (one queen sized bed and four single bunks in each) and features a full sized fridge/freezer, shower and toilet, 24 hour solar power* and a rainwater tank.

The bungalows share a communal camp kitchen, complete with all your cooking requirements including BBQ, gas cookers, microwave oven, crockery and cutlery etc. There is also a fire pit** behind the bungalows.

Note: bed linen/towels/pillows not supplied.

*As we do run on solar power, no electric heaters or heating elements are allowed in the accommodation.
**Firewood collection is not allowed on the Station so please bring your own supply for the donkey hot water system; alternatively, wood can be purchased at the office.

Rustic, unique and simple at apt descriptions for Red Bluff's shacks. The walls and ceilings are made from palm fronds, canvas and cement/hard deck floors with uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean.

Unpowered caravan and camping sites are scattered throughout Red Bluff. There are 15 long drop toilets located near every camp spot and a waste dump point near the entrance of the camp.

If you have a chemical toilet, please bring it - we highly encourage the use of private chemical loo's to reduce the use of communal toilets.
