Your Outback Adventure Awaits
📍Cobar, Outback NSW Step into the experience of Meralda with the Barton Family, a family-run gem nestled in the heart of the outback town of Cobar. Get ready to be whisked away on a red dirt adventure and let the bush work its magic on you with her rugged beauty, where scrumptious meals and amazing sunsets are just the beginning. Picture feasts by the fire, admiring breathtaking views, watch our picturesque sunsets while you relax in the sunset baths, get artsy with creative workshops, or find zen moments with wellbeing sessions or simply immerse yourself and unwind in our peaceful bush surroundings. We take great pride in providing unique experiences for all guests to transform your stay into a memorable adventure. Our accommodations and offerings are all about that rustic, back-to-nature, eco-off-the-grid vibe. If you're dreaming of a caravan park with no dirt, concrete slabs and lush green lawns (yes, some folks imagine an outback town with no natural water source magically sprouting grass), then we might not be the perfect match for you. If your a guest ready to jump into our unique setup. Our charm lies in simplicity; we're not chasing after 5-star luxury, but our service? Oh yeah, we've got that 5-star sparkle! Come on over and let us introduce you to the magic of our backyard at Meralda.

​Note: This is a farm located in the outback. Please expect:
​Dust, amazing sunsets, flies, fabulous hospitality, burrs, quirky animals, unreliable weather forecasts, tranquility and ambience.

⚠️ Kamilaroi Highway is closed between Bourke and Brewarrina due to flooding. Avoid the area.

If possible, delay your trip. Otherwise you can use Arthur Hall VC Way to Coolabah, and Mitchell Highway to Bourke. This adds about 2 hours. Never drive through floodwaters.

Excuse the zoomed-in pic! 😂

Miss Poppy, our dog, decided to bring this ALIVE bogeye through the doggy door for a bit of show and tell! 🐶🤣

And yes, that’s a turd next to him! 💩 The poor bu**er must’ve crapped his daks with all the commotion!

I nearly dropped a bogeye myself when I spotted him, I can tell ya! 😂🤣

✨ 2027… I’m already thinking about you! ✨

As we get closer to wrapping up our 2026 season, my mind is already racing with ideas for 2027! 🤭

It’s that time of year when John starts to dread my creative brain… because I’m forever thinking of ways to improve, change things up and make your experience even better!

So, what’s on the radar for 2027 so far?

✨ A new check-in process!

We’ll be changing things up next season to hopefully make life a little easier and the whole process smoother (especially for me! 🤞).

✨ TOURS! 🥳

This is one I’m really excited about!

You’ve been asking, and believe me, I’ve been thinking about how I can make it happen for a long time…

Being a solo operator means my days are pretty regimented, with tight timelines and timeslots to stick to. Finding room to squeeze something new in isn’t always easy when your a one person show.

BUT… Rome wasn’t built in a day! 🤣

So, we’re going to start small and trial tours two days a week, along with bespoke tours available by appointment.

It’s something I’ve wanted to introduce for a while, and I’m so excited to finally start putting the wheels in motion!

There are still a few little details to iron out, but as my plans come together, I’ll share more information about what the tours will look like.

And while I’m busy dreaming up all these exciting new ideas, John’s probably somewhere wondering why I can’t just leave things as they are! 🤣

2027 is already shaping up to be an exciting one! ✨❤️

Meralda Station… just love it! 🩷

This was my second stay, and after having such a wonderful time here last year, I knew I had to come back.

This time I brought my cousin Monique from The Netherlands. She had seen Meralda Station featured on a Dutch travel show and mentioned how much she’d love to visit… completely unaware that I’d already secretly included a stay at Meralda in our road trip itinerary! 🥰

And it certainly didn’t disappoint. We both absolutely loved our stay!! The incredible stars, sitting by the fire, the emus wandering around and that wonderful outback atmosphere.

But the Bedford Baths… that was the icing on the cake! 🛁🌅✨ An absolutely magical experience and such a special memory from our trip.

Another unforgettable stay at Meralda Station. ❤️

Great job, Jenn & family you’ve created something very special.

We loved it!

Let’s have some Friday FUN !!

Copy and paste this into ChatGPT 👇🏽

“Give my personality a mascot using what you know about me and the uploaded photo for my appearance, invent a funny cartoon mascot that represents my personality. Feature a glamorous cartoon version of me posing beside the mascot as if we are an iconic duo. The mascot can be an animal, creature, object, or completely imaginary character. Give it one small accessory or detail that connects it to me. Add its name and one short tagline explaining its energy. Keep everything else minimal. White background, clean composition, polished colorful cartoon artwork. Do not ask me what the mascot should be. You decide.”
