Mataranka Homestead Caravan Park

We called into the Mataranka Homestead Caravan Park for two nights and ended up staying for a week. This is a very relaxing spot and just a short walk to the Rainbow Springs Thermal Pool for a relaxing dip. The sites are large (on dirt) with plenty of shade, and the park is surrounded by Elsey National Park. The wallabies come in each day looking for food - do not feed them bread (we were told that the yeast in the bread rots their teeth and gums).  

The amenities are very clean and relatively new. This a popular place and some people we met return here year after year to relax and enjoy the thermal pool. The reception and shop provides basic item as well as souvenirs and fishing gear. The restaurant and bar are located beside the reception and there was live entertainment provided every night during our stay. The meals are very generous and they offer specials each evening. We stayed at the Mataranka Homestead Caravan Park during August and the weather was perfect every day.
