QUOBBA STATION

Quobba is a family operated, working pastoral station that borders 80km of Western Australia's spectacular coastline. The 187 000 acre station was established in 1898 and is bounded by Gnaraloo Station to the North, Lake McLeod and Boolathana Station to the East/South and the Indian Ocean to the West. 

The Meecham’s have been on Quobba Station for over 40 years, with Tim, Sara and family here for over 22 years. The Station runs approximately 10,000 damaras (South African meat sheep) after originally running merino (wooly) sheep. 

Quobba Station is the gateway to the Ningaloo Reef, its authentic coastal station stay experience. You will find a range of accommodation options, including camping with powered and unpowered sites available. 

 

ACCOMMODATION AT QUOBBA STATION

Accommodation at the Homestead includes:

  • Smithies – originally the Black Smiths Workshop
  • The Chalets - situated on the top of the picturesque sand dunes overlooking the Indian Ocean
  • The Cottage – was the overseer’s residence
  • The Long Cottage – was the garage for the Station with the inspection pit still in one of the bedrooms
  • The Outcamp – was the jackaroos quarters.

The Shearing quarters were used for shearers accommodation until 2005 when the Station changed from merino sheep to damaras (hairy not wooly therefore there is no shearing needed).

There are multiple caravan and bush camping sites on Quobba Station. You have the choice of powered and unpowered sites.

FAQ'S 

Q: Do I need to book for camping?

A: No, we are pleased to advise we do not take bookings for camping. If you are wanting to visit between May to September, particularly the July school holidays, we recommend you call prior to coming out to check if we have availability.

A: The road from Carnarvon to the Blowholes is 75km and is sealed. From this point, the road is unsealed. It is 10km to the Quobba Station Homestead and a further 60km to Red Bluff. This road is managed by the Shire of Carnarvon and is normally graded once a year. The road condition varies greatly throughout the year. We recommend stopping into Quobba Station and having a chat with the team there about recent feedback about the road. Please note, if there has been rain in the area, the Shire of Carnarvon closes the road and you can check the conditions here.
