FAQ


We are sorry, no further bookings can be made for Meeline Station during our open months of July and August.  Please direct any enquiries to karenmorrisseymeeline@gmail.com

Q: How long does it take to get from Perth to Meeline
A: From Perth it takes roughly 6 hours travelling across the Wheat Belt to Wubin. We are then 265 km north of Wubin (2 1/2 hour drive time) to the Meeline Hstd turn off on the Narndee Rd. We are about 52km in on the Narndee Rd, which will take you about 35 – 45  minutes , depending on road conditions. Please note that the name Narndee Road is taken from a property south of Meeline – please don’t confuse the southern entry (which has the sign Narndee Hstd) with the entry described here, which is further to the north and has Meeline Hstd at the entry.

Q: Do we need to book ahead ?
A: Bookings well in advance are essential.

Q: Is Meeline accessible towing a caravan?
A: Meeline is not generally recommended for caravan travellers, as we specialise in group bookings (minimum cottage booking)  and do not offer facilities for caravans – however, if your group has a trailer, this can access Meeline, however please  keep informed about road conditions in case there have been road wash outs after storms.

Q: Do you have powered camp sites?
A: No we don’t. Bookings are made for the station homestead, cottage and quarters – with the option to take the beds out under the stars.

Q: Do you have Air Conditioning?
A: We don’t have any air conditioning on the station. When our station homestead was built last century, they didn’t have air conditioning either, and this meant that it was designed for solar passive cooling and energy efficiency (long before these things became fashionable). We promote the fact that we offer a genuinely Australian experience which will help our guests understand the realities of Australian station life.

Q: Are you pet friendly?
A: While we love animals, unfortunately we can’t welcome your pets.

Q: What happens if Meeline gets rain prior to my arrival?
A: Unfortunately adverse weather conditions are just part and parcel with living in the outback! We will do our best to give you adequate warning or notice for wet weather forecasts and deposits are fully refundable for road closures. However please do not ask us to predict the weather as this is something that we cannot do!
