Almerta Station is a unique destination in the Finders Ranges, just three and half hour's drive north of Adelaide. You will find a range of accommodation from the very comfortable Shearer's Quarters through to several camp sites in pristine creek settings throughout the property.

With clear running water, native fish, yabbies and water birds- it's a place of silence and beauty. At Almerta Station you can be part of a community and interact with the property owners - bringing back the values of life which is sometimes lost in the day-to-day rush.
