Henders House

Henders House is a beautifully restored cottage on Almerta Station, offering a refined off-grid escape at the gateway to South Australia’s iconic Flinders Ranges. Originally one of the station’s early dwellings, it’s been carefully renovated to retain its authentic charm while providing modern comfort & style.

Sleep in Quiet Luxury

The house features two king bedrooms, each styled with high-quality linen for a restful and luxurious sleep. Designed for couples or small groups, the bedrooms blend simplicity and elegance, making every night feel like a retreat.

Henders House runs entirely off-grid, powered by sustainable systems with minimal environmental impact. Guests enjoy a spacious bathroom, a cozy living room, and a fully equipped kitchen including gas cooktops and a full-size fridge – everything you need for a comfortable, independent stay.

The Ruin that started it all.

Before Hender’s House became a retreat, it was barely a shell- no windows, no doors, just cement floors and what remained of a pressed metal ceiling.

These photos capture that moment in time.

They aren’t just “before” pictures. They’re a love letter to the land, the past, and the people who believed it was worth saving. This was the beginning of something bigger—a careful restoration that respected every scar, every beam, every whisper of history.

Hender’s House isn’t just accommodation. It’s a resurrection. It stands today because we saw potential in ruin, and poured soul into every inch rebuilt.

This project was never about renovation for renovation’s sake. It’s about memory, meaning, and storytelling. It’s about making something beautiful out of what was almost forgotten—and sharing it with you.
