OUTBACK STATION STAY

  We had been told Cheela Plains was the bees knees by friends so already had a high expectation when we arrived.Unwhelmed when we arrived with a circular lawn with vans... read more parked around it.Power and water so that was a bonus.$60 a night which is HUGE.2 washing machines that were going the whole time and little space to hand your clothes.2 showers in females and 2 toilets recipricated in the mens.My husband had a hot shower but mine was just luke warm and I came out shivering.Communal fire pit which was great to meet everyone else travelling,Mostly all have come from Karijini or on their way there.There is a cafe which serves cake and coffee.The board says coffee is $6 but I was charged $7????You can also order meals for the night which is a main and dessert for $45.We didnt eat there but the group discussion around the fire was that it was terrible and very small.The highest score it got was a 4/10 so glad we didnt order the meal.Dessert we were told was a packet chocolate mousse.Staff were nice and friendly.You can do a couple of walks on the property.One being to the "cave" 6kms round trip and a nice easy walk to the top of the hill where the flag is for views around the property.Next time I will be using the free camp spots which are opposite Cheela Plains on the other side of the road More

  We just had 2 lovely nights (either side of a few nights in Karijini). We had the comfy famliy guest room and we were all very snug and loved... read more the fairy lights that guided our way home from dinner. The staff were very friendly and even taught the kids magic tricks and the homecooked dinner was delicious- the whole family demolished every mouthful both nights. We loved exploring the property and it was a perfect place to stay to break up our travels. Thank you for being so accomodating.

  After nine days of trekking and driving long distances we were glad to break up our journey at this huge cattle station and spend a night. The family room was... read more comfortable and staff were friendly. We enjoyed the dinner too. The next day was spent walking to the nearby cave and enjoying the semi arid bush land.

  We spent 4 days, 3 nights at the wonderful Cheela Plains Station. All of the staff were so helpful, especially the lady at reception ( sorry I don't remember... read more your name but you're English, like me ) The communal fire each night was great for meeting new travellers especially the Wednesday night, burger night. They even have a cafe with excellent coffee and amazing carrot cake. The self-drive 4wd trials,(map supplied ) give you an idea of just how vast the station is....highly recommended and we will return when we're up this way again.

  We stayed at Cheela plains over the Easter weekend. We wanted to stay at Mussel Pool but not open till 1st May. Advised that if weather stayed good we could... read more go out there but to book a powered site. The lovely staff there changed out booking on arrival to Mussel Pool and gave us credit on our original booking..All I can say WOW it was wonderful out there. Pictures don’t do it justice.. Thank you for being so helpful and accommodating.. PS we made sure we used most of the credit in the cafe ..

  We were welcomed by wonderful people, Suzi and Col were so lovely very accommodating and helpful. Nice clean facilities I highly recommend staying here. Great 4wd tracks to do and... read more a walk to the cave (take lots of water) so happy we decided to stop here it is well worth it.

  This is the second time we have stayed at the station and it was as good as the first time. You can drive past it if you're not careful so... read more pin it in your sat-nav before leaving. The station has put out more signs on the road, as you approach the station but pin it anyway. It's a great place to stay for a day or more. We stayed for three days at Mussel Pool, approximately 35 kilometres from the homestead. If you are looking for a place to get lost for a few days, this is one of them. One of the things we appreciated is that although other visitors were at the station, there was no overcrowding. Check it out for yourself. More

  Excellent visit that we came back for more!! Enjoyable stay with young family.

Stay, Showers and toilet was immaculate, even higher standards than some other accomodation in Karijini.... read more The team were phenomenal at Cheela Plains especially camp hosts Suzi, Colin and Janine who were most hospitable.

Nightly camp fires were a daily attraction for campers from 530 onwards. Campers spoilt with either burger nights or a sit down dinner which was delicious after a day of travelling or exploring the area.

Speak to the camp hosts and do explore the area - Mussel pool is a must visit in the area for the day!

Well done and thank you to the team at Cheela for the enjoyable stays. More

  I have never felt so happy and relaxed in a place since arriving in Australia 30 years ago. The staff were amazing, many thanks to Colin and Sue and... read more the wonderful Morris who showed us Pelican Falls. Galveston 2 days ever spent. Time, locating, scenery: oh and Jarrad, while was kind and generous. Thank you everyone.

  We only had one night at Cheela, and to be honest, I was nervous! But I needn't have been. It was professionally run and a great experience. I could probably... read more have stayed 2 nights.

We weren't camping, we stayed in Plainsview lodge. It was a motel style room, but it was clean and had a lovely balcony you could sit on and chill.

The camp fire every night is a good way to get people together and chatting and we really enjoyed that. Dinner was good too.

I'd stay here again for sure.

  We stayed for one night on our way to Karijini. Nice room and price included dinner and breakfast. Room was neat and had great air con as was a warm... read more day when we arrived. Good spot to relax and take in the surrounds. Saw milo the calf out grazing too. Dinner was nice and the cafe is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner bookings as well.
Must try their famous carrot cake ! We bought a couple of pieces to take on the road when checking out and so glad we did.

  I had quite high expectations of this station stay, especially at a cost of $410 for dinner, bed and breakfast. Dinner was nice and the breakfast was... read more standard, cereal and toast. Our room was pleasant, but there were no toiletries, no tea bags, no milk in the fridge, only a bath towel with no hand towel, no glasses. And I wasn't sure what to do with the broom behind the door.!

  We had a powered caravan site with a great lawn area nearby and great ablutions and barbecue area. We had a $10 hamburger for dinner for a change which was... read more very enjoyable. Various styles of accommodation are available. We would recommend a stay here.

  What an absolutely beautiful way to spend a long weekend. We were lucky enough to be there for ANZAC day and could attend a ceremony. Such a lovely... read more morning. We even had Milo the calf attend. Ensure you make this a must on your travels.

  There's not only iron ore in the Pilbara, there are gems too. This place is one, got everything you need and more. Fully equipped camp kitchen (but if you are... read more not in the mood of cooking, they do 2 course meals too), nice showers, communal camp fire, kids' sandpit with Tonka trucks...
The surrounding landscape is amazing, make sure you take the time to go on the farm's very own scenic drive.
Oh, and has anyone mentioned the carrot cake yet?
