Agritourism at Callubri Station looks a little different to the text book definition. We approach agritourism not as an attraction staged for guests, but as a transparent, high-end invitation into the living pulse of the Australian outback.
While many farm stays offer a glimpse of rural life, our 28,500-acre Merino station provides a rare, “behind the wire” immersion guided by the very people whose heritage is etched into the dust. We believe the true luxury of the bush lies in its raw authenticity and the sophisticated seclusion of being one of only 14 guests on a property larger than many European cities!
Our agritourism offering blends fourth-generation land stewardship with refined paddock-to-plate dining, we’ve moved beyond the traditional “farm visit” to create a living experience. Here, you aren’t just observing agriculture; you are participating in a regenerative legacy, where the grit of a working sheep station meets the polished hospitality of a luxury lodge.
With genuine first name service and a small owner-led team, you will leave our property feeling renewed, restored and part of our family. Come and experience the most unique luxury accommodation in outback Australia. We guarantee you won’t be disappointed!

At Callubri Station, we believe that the most meaningful travel happens when you are treated as part of the family (except for doing the dishes of course!). Here are a few frequently asked questions that highlight what truly sets our station apart.
What does it mean to be an ‘Owner-Operated’ agritourism destination?
It means that from the moment you land on our property to your final sunset at The Lookout, you are hosted by the people who live and breathe this land. The Armstrong Family are fourth-generation custodians of Callubri Station; Mike leads the station tours with a lifetime of agricultural knowledge, while Angie personally oversees the kitchen and guest experience. This direct connection ensures a level of passion, authenticity, and “grounded” hospitality that larger, corporate-owned lodges simply cannot replicate. You aren’t just visiting a farm; you are being welcomed into a 150-year-old family legacy.
Why do you limit guest numbers to a maximum of 14?
The true luxury of the outback is its seclusion. By specialising in small group travel, we ensure that Callubri remains an intimate sanctuary where you never feel like a face in a crowd. Whether you are here for a corporate retreat, a family milestone, or a romantic escape, our small scale allows us to tailor every meal and activity to your specific interests. This exclusivity means you have unprecedented access to your hosts and the vastness of our 28,500 acres all to yourself.
How do you balance a ‘Working Farm’ with a ‘Luxury Lodge’ experience?
We call it “Grit meets Glamour.” Callubri is a broadacre, large-scale Merino sheep and wheat station, not a hobby farm. You will see the red dust, the massive headers during harvest, and the hard work that goes into regenerative agriculture. However, your “base camp” is a sophisticated, luxury lodge-style stay featuring elegant interiors, climate-controlled comfort, and a 12-metre mineral pool. We’ve bridged the gap between the raw, untouched outback agritourism experience and refined, high-end hospitality, so you can witness the rigours of station life during the day and retreat to polished luxury by night.
Is the ‘Paddock-to-Plate’ dining experience truly from your own land?
Absolutely. Because we are owner-operated, Angie and her team manage the kitchen gardens and products from the paddocks. Our “rustic fine dining” menus are designed around the seasons and what is being produced on the station at that very moment. From our own stone-milled wheat used in artisan sour dough breads to our grass-fed Merino lamb and sun-ripened heritage vegetables, every plate tells a story of the soil you’ve walked on that afternoon. It is an authentic culinary journey that celebrates the flavours of Outback Australia.
How accessible is such a remote ‘Outback’ experience for short stays?
While we feel worlds away, we are actually the most accessible outback station stay to Sydney. We’ve designed our experience for the modern traveller who values their time. By utilizing private air travel, you can swap the city skyline for the outback horizon in just over an hour. This means a “weekend city escape” to the deep outback is not only possible but effortless, allowing you to spend more time immersing yourself in nature and less time behind the wheel.
Callubri Station is proudly part of the Outback Beds network of properties offering agritourism experiences across New South Wales and Queensland.
