The Nullarbor, Right On Our Doorstep
A Flight, A Night & A Bite Package
Make the most of whale season with our combined package, including a night’s accommodation, a two-course dinner and a glass of wine, and a 30 minute scenic flight over the Bight. It’s the easiest way to experience the very best of the Nullarbor in one stay.
Whale Watching at Head of the Bight
Between mid-May and October, up to 100 Southern Right whales gather along the coast at Head of the Bight, just 20 kilometres east of Nullarbor Roadhouse, with the season peaking through July and August. Watch mothers and calves breach from the clifftop viewing platforms, one of the best land-based whale watching experiences in Australia.
Bunda Cliffs
The Bunda Cliffs stretch 200 kilometres along the Great Australian Bight, between Head of the Bight and the Western Australian border. They mark the southern edge of the limestone slab that forms the Nullarbor Plain, and they’re one of the most photographed sights on the entire crossing.
Flight Over the Bight
For a different perspective, take to the skies. This 30 minute scenic flight gives you awe inspiring views of the Southern Right whales and the Bunda Cliffs from above. Flights operate from the Nullarbor airstrip, right next to the roadhouse, during whale migration season from June to September, with a minimum of two people per booking.
Murrawijinie Caves
A short drive north of the roadhouse, these limestone caves are open to explore for those with a bit of time up their sleeve. A map is available from our team on site, and we’d recommend a reliable vehicle for the access track, which is a fairly rough but two-wheel-drive-suitable road. As always, take care underfoot and keep an eye out for local wildlife.
Nullarbor Links Golf Hole, Dingo's Den
Fancy a swing in the middle of nowhere? Nullarbor Roadhouse is home to Dingo’s Den, the fifth hole of Nullarbor Links, the world’s longest golf course. Stretching 1,365 kilometres from Kalgoorlie in Western Australia to Ceduna in South Australia, our hole is the only Par 5 on the entire course, running 538 metres.
Murals and Artwork
Since 2016, Nullarbor Roadhouse has celebrated the history of the place through art. Accomplished mural artist Pam Armstrong has brought the story of the Nullarbor to life across the property, while landscape artist Marty Powell created a scale model of the old station and garage. Many of these pieces also double as shaded rest areas throughout our caravan park, built using materials sourced right here on site.
More to Come
There’s plenty more to see and do around Nullarbor Roadhouse, from historic telegraph stations to the famous 90 Mile Straight. Keep an eye on our blog and newsletter as we dig deeper into these stories, and feel free to ask our team for their own recommendations while you’re here.
Head of the Bight and Bunda Cliffs
Each year between May and October, Southern Right Whales migrate to the sheltered waters of the Great Australian Bight to give birth and raise their calves.
Viewed from the clifftop boardwalk at Head of the Bight, the experience is genuinely hard to put into words. Below you, the Bunda Cliffs drop 90 metres straight into the Southern Ocean, stretching unbroken for over 200 kilometres in either direction.
At the peak of the season, up to 70 whales have been spotted from the viewing platform at one time. It’s one of the most spectacular natural spectacles in Australia, and it’s right on our doorstep.
Nullarbor Links — The World's Longest Golf Course
Spanning 1,365 kilometres along the Eyre Highway from Kalgoorlie to Ceduna, Nullarbor Links is the world’s longest golf course. And one of its holes is right here at Border Village Roadhouse!
The 18-hole par 72 course features one hole at each participating town or roadhouse along the highway, with each hole including a tee, a green, and a stretch of natural outback terrain in between.
Pick up a scorecard, get your card stamped at the Roadhouse, and carry on to the next hole down the highway. It’s one of those only-in-Australia experiences that makes the crossing something to remember.
