This SPECIAL EDITION Kimberley Ride – featuring El Questro Homestead – celebrates this transfixing ancient landscape in white-gloved luxury. For those Globetrotters who want to treat themselves, celebrate a special occasion or simply spend their tax return, THIS, my friends, is your ride. It’s the ultimate blend of glamour camping, where you sleep under the Milky Way for two nights, and then just before the dirt starts gathering beneath your fingernails, you move into El Questro Homestead for the final two nights. The prestigious, celebrity-worthy accommodation at El Questro Homestead has a long list of famed peeps in its visitors book. No surprises here when you clap eyes on the jaw-dropping location {clinging to a gorge}! You’ll be taking selfies and posting on IG quick-smart. The rooms are swoon-worthy and the regional food, complimentary bar tab and private activities at your fingertips will surpass all expectations.
Your guides, Laura and Christian Hayes, have jam-packed this five day itinerary with the very BEST on and off the horse Kimberley experiences that you could ever dream of. At the end of this ride, as you tip your hat to the Kimberley, you’ll feel deeply satisfied that you’ve gotten to know this national treasure from the privileged vantage point of a station stock horse. With her kaleidoscope of colours and her beguiling contrasts from vast, Boab spotted plains to lush, pandanus oases, she’s a jigsaw of rugged beauty and dreamtime allure.
