Heritage-listed Homestead

Melangata Station is a pastoral sheep station located near the historic, mining town of Yalgoo in Western Australia’s outback Murchison region, established in 1897.  The historic, stone homestead is a beautiful example of architectural design by Monsignor John Hawes, a renowned English architect/ priest for the Catholic church who designed churches across the world.  The Homestead and station grounds are open to guests to experience a truly unique outback stay.

A truly unique experience

Melangata Station is privately owned and you can experience the historic Melangata Homestead as an all-inclusive accommodated stay, enjoying home-cooked meals with the current Station owners, or on a guided tour accompanied by a delicious country-style morning tea. 

We’re open from April to November each year

Converted out-buildings are available for accommodation, plus camping and tag-along 4WD tours are also available during the tourism season from April to October. If the weather is generous and sufficient rain falls the station transforms with wildflowers in the surrounding bush in blooming during June to August most years.

Activities For Everyone

Melangata Station stay has many activities available so you might need to consider a couple more days just to explore the surrounds.

We arrived late afternoon and were welcomed with the smell of the wood for in the cookhouse. The fire was roaring, warming the social area and ready for cooking.
The Cottage accomodation was very good and glamping in the Bell tents is something else indeed. I especially loved the integration of the native plants and log borders throughout the station’s ample campgrounds.

Hubby and I stayed at the beautiful Melangata Homestead for 3 nights. One could not have wished for better hosts than Ken and Jo (and of course Billy and Jura, the dogs)
We loved everything about our stay, the clean, comfortable accommodation, lovely bathroom and shower with lots of hot water and very comfortable king size bed and fluffy pillows.

The owner is extremely knowledgeable about the area, plants, and bush tucker. Jo can teach you how to spot Aboriginal artefacts, cook up an amazing feast in a camp oven, or tell you about little-known places in the area to visit. Like Australia’s smallest meteorite crater, or the largest gallery of Aboriginal rock art in WA. She hangs out at the campfire and is always happy to chat.
I don't think it matters what religious persuasion you are or not. One must agree it is an unusual thing to have ones own private chapel nestled within the heart of the Melangata homestead. 
Come and discover all the little hidden secrets I have discovered since living here.
