An extra day to pause and rest …

It takes a couple of days out here before you really slow down. So stay a little longer. With our stay 4, pay 3 offer, the fourth night camping is on us: one more slow morning, one more soak in the artesian baths, one more night by the fire under the stars.

Details are on our website if you've been needing a proper rest.

Come join our team at Wooramel! We're hiring two couples - one for the end of 2026 and one for the 2027 season.

Caretaking Couple — a 3-month role (Nov 2026 – early Feb 2027) covering the shoulder season support in November, then caretaking and maintenance over summer. Couples with trade/machinery experience would be perfect for the role.

Park Manager Couple — a hands-on 10-month role (Feb – Dec 2027) running the day-to-day of our caravan park and accommodation, with the chance to live and work on a family-run outback station.

Accommodation, or space for a caravan, provided for both. Head to wooramel.com.au/careers for full position descriptions or to apply.

Grand final day, station style. A footy-inspired lunch special, the bar open from midday and the best crowd to share it with. Thanks to everyone who joined us and to our team for getting everyone checked in early and keeping the food and drinks coming. Who were you barracking for?

We're so proud to be named a finalist in the Perth Airport Awards for Unique Accommodation! 🌟

There isn't just one thing that makes Wooramel unique. Maybe it's the artesian geothermal baths, or our comfortable, one-of-a-kind accommodation. Maybe it's the calm outback feeling beneath the majestic river gums, or our unique upside-down river. It could be the café serving authentic, delicious meals, or our unique activities like the historical tip walk, sunrise yoga and station 4WD tours. Perhaps it's being so remote that the stars put on a show every single night, or our family-friendly outback hospitality. Or maybe it's the combination of all of it, and the feeling you leave with.

Either way, we're incredibly proud of what we've achieved so far. WA is home to so many fantastic tourism operators, and it means a lot to be recognised among them. Thank you to everyone who has stayed with us, supported us, and shared the Wooramel magic 💛

Snakes are waking from their winter rest and moving through the same paths we all share out here. Wooramel is their home as much as ours, so a few gentle reminders as you explore:

Stick to the paths and steer clear of longer grass, where they like to rest. If you spot one, give it space. It's most likely just as keen to move away from you as you are from it. Please don't approach, throw anything, or try to pick one up.

We're a fair way from town, so if you do see a snake and are concerned, let reception or the café know and we'll get someone out to move it on safely.

The cold morning air meets the warmth of the artesian water and for a moment the whole bath disappears into steam, right as the sun starts working its way over the horizon. Take a minute to enjoy this special time of the day, wrapped up to the shoulders in water that’s been warming underground long before any of us arrived.

Some years the wildflowers are shy. This year, thanks to the rain, they're everywhere. A quiet reminder of how much this land gives back when it's looked after and left alone. Come wander through it with us.

Cuts to Working Holiday Maker and Tourist visas could hit Wooramel and other station stays across WA hard. Long-stay visitors travel further, stay longer, and help fill the seasonal roles that keep us welcoming guests and delivering the outback experiences you love. 🐑

We’re backing the campaign to keep the current visa settings and protect the role these visitors play in regional WA’s tourism, communities and economy.
If you believe long-stay visitors matter to regional WA, please follow the link below or in the comments and sign the petition.
