The Australian outback, as it really is.
Simple. Raw. Unforgettable.Open land, orange earth, and a stillness you won’t find anywhere else.
A working outback farm stay, just outside Cobar, NSW.
More than a stay, this is the outback, experienced.
From secluded camping sites to retro caravan accommodation, every stay at Meralda is designed to give you space, privacy, and connection to the land.
We recommend staying a little longer, because this isn’t somewhere you rush:
→ Soak in the outback bathouse as the sun sets over endless land
→ Settle by the fire beneath a sky full of stars
→ Share simple, honest food, slow-cooked over the fire
→ Wake up to space and stillness
→Time to reset, reconnect, and create
The moments that stay with you
-

The Outback Bathhouse
Your moment, your way, day or sunset.
A warm soak in the open paddocks, whether under the midday sky or as the sun turns gold and everything slows down.
-

Paddock to Plate by Fire
Simple, honest meals cooked over fire with ingredients sourced directly from the land around you. A true paddock-to-plate experience, and one guests talk about long after they leave.
-

The Outback Reset
Out here, the land does most of the work. From quiet moments in nature to gentle wellness sessions, goat picnics, and creative experiences, everything is designed to help you slow down, reset, and reconnect.
-

Space to Slow Down
Out here, there’s nothing pulling at your time, just open land, star-filled skies, and space to simply be.
Guest reviews
Our origin
Meralda is a family-owned and operated property, set just outside the outback town of Cobar, NSW.
A simple, authentic bush stay, grounded in country hospitality, honest food, and space to slow down.
No manicured lawns or polished facilities and that’s exactly the point.
Just open land, stillness, and the feeling of being part of it.
Real, raw, and ready to be experienced.
