This former cattle ranch turned nature reserve, 31km south of Pellegrini, is a wonderful place in which to come to terms with the big sky and abundant wildlife. It’s substantial country comfort rather than luxury; the pretty rooms in the main house interconnect, making them great for family stays, while freestanding cabins sleep two. Beyond, vast lawns blend into pastureland and contemplation.
Excursions from here are great and include hikes, horseback riding, boat trips and night safaris. More than 350 bird species have been recorded here and it's a good spot to try to observe the reintroduced giant anteater.
Meals here are good and include fresh vegetables from the gardens.
