Ellenbrae Station

21/09/2026

That’s the wrap on the 2026 Season. Ellenbrae has now closed the homestead gates & turned our oven off in preparation for the wet season. The traditional changing of the bonnet to signal the close of the station for another year. Thank you to all the wonderful guests we got to welcome, those that stayed with us and for everyone that bought a scone. Final scone tally for the year was 18484. Have a great wet season everyone and we look forward to welcoming guest again after the wet, hopefully around late April/early May. We are very much looking forward to our well earned break.

End of season closure - 20th September2026

We have made the decision to close our front gate a week earlier than usual this year. Our last night of camping & cabin accommodation will be on Sunday 20th September. Sunday will also be the final day visitors will be able to visit our homestead garden & cafe to grab a fresh scone with jam & cream, or Iced Coffee & Chocolate Frappe. We will close our gates in preparation for the wet season at 4pm Sunday 20th September. Those with a booking after this date will be contacted in the coming days via email or phone. We thank all our guests that have stopped in, bought a scone and supported us this tourist season.

Good News!!! Ellenbrae Station will be able to re-open this morning. We can safely welcome back campers, cabin guests & visitors from 8am. Please note : There is some smoke still around the area and our access road is a little charred, but the homestead & campground is all okay. Safe travels and we look forward to welcoming visitors again.

Doggy Daycare - We’ve had our first two pups stay with us whilst their mum & dad fly up to Mitchell Plateau on the Shoal Air Ellenbrae StationEB7 Hike Mitchell Falls Day Tour. Didn’t think you could do the tour, cos doggo is travelling with you. We are happy to enrol your doggo into our doggy daycare for the day so you can enjoy the amazing Mitchell Falls. We also offer this for the 3 hour scenic flights & it’s all free of charge. Everyone meet Coco the Belgian Shepherd & Ruby the teeniest tiniest Maltese Terrier we’ve ever met. Both quietly content to chill out in the homestead with us for the day.
