Make Carinya Your next destination

Family Farm | Family Values | Genuine Country Hospitality

**Summer in Lightning Ridge is a time when temperatures regularly exceed 40+ degrees.  It's not an ideal time to be a visitor in the outback. We spend this time, focusing on the farm, the family and also sneaking in a holiday of our own. 

We look forward to meeting you in 2025**

Welcome to Carinya Station, our family-owned and operated farm is 10 mins from Lightning Ridge's artesian bore baths, we are down to earth, genuine country people and we welcome guests that love to experience our way of farm life.

Immerse yourself in our eco-conscious, glamping options, leave no trace camping and our exclusive farm tours. 

Discover the rich history of our vast, diverse outback region and create lasting memories. Meet your hosts, Joe and Jacinda and their children Archie, Clay, and Pippa. Engage in daily activities, make new friends, and enjoy the company of our baby farm animals in our very own kid-kindy. Use our farm stay as a base for exploring our unique outback region, get involved with farm activities or simply disconnect, unwind and take in the ambience we are renowned for.

At Carinya, we are a low-impact, eco-conscious tourist accommodation destination. We are dedicated to making our guests feel welcome, fostering a deep connection to our land and agriculture and forming lifelong friendships.

Join us for an unforgettable experience where you'll find spacious, sandy campsites dispersed across 300 acres, accommodating everything from tents to big rigs. Campfires are welcome, with wood available for purchase at reception or collect it yourself from the surroundings. Composting toilets are conveniently located onsite.  And for our guests seeking extra amenities, treat yourself to refreshing showers at the nearby artesian bore baths, a blissful stop, just 7 mins from our farm stay. 

Experience the warmth of a family farm, embrace our genuine country hospitality, and discover the values that drive us at Carinya Station.
