Eco Villas
Our new luxury eco-villas are the ultimate in Flinders Ranges accommodation and the ideal place to get away from it all. Set on a private and secluded site, yet within easy reach of the main Rawnsley Park facilities, these stylish and contemporary villas boast uninterrupted views of Wilpena Pound and the surrounding ranges.
Designed to complement the natural surroundings, the villas have the latest environmental design features, including rendered straw bale walls, polished timber floors over suspended concrete slabs and overhanging eaves/wide verandahs to provide shaded walls. Windows and doors have been located to allow for cooling breezes to pass through the entire building. Raked ceilings and natural exhaust venting at the apex of the ceiling space provide natural cooling efficiency. The villas have also been designed to take advantage of the large diurnal temperature range that is experienced in the Flinders Ranges. Concrete slab floor and rendered straw bale walls provide thermal mass that minimises temperature variation within the villas. The eco-villas received Advanced Ecotourism accreditation in the Ecotourism Australia certification program. Ecotourism Australia defindes ecotoursim as "ecologically sustainable tourism with a primary focus on experiencing natural areas that fosters environmental and cultural understanding, appreciation and conservation."
