Welcome to the Woolshed Restaurant
Modern Australian fine dining
Imagine coming across a rustic Australian woolshed, typically, built from corrugated iron, nestled in the heart of the Flinders Ranges. This is the scene that greets you as you arrive at the Woolshed Restaurant at Rawnsley Park. With its cosy combustion stove and its outback themed decor, its warm and welcoming atmosphere envelops you as you enter.
The Woolshed Restaurant truly is an impressive structure but it’s the striking interior which captivates you. With its rustic outback theme, diners are given an Australian experience like no other. In keeping with this experience, the large windows of the restaurant allow diners to sit with wonderful views of the Ranges, in particular, Rawnsley Bluff.
Due to its remote location, the Woolshed Restaurant is a ‘diamond in the rough’. We deliver a high quality modern Australian dining experience making it a favourite dining experience for tourists in the Flinders Ranges. Using seasonal and local produce where possible, Dusty Dog wines (and many other fine Australian wines), we create distinctive dishes that make the Woolshed Restaurant a must for people visiting the area.

We are Jon & Sally Dean, the licensees of the restaurant and the Woolshed Restaurant is our pride and joy.
In Dec 2007, we leased the Woolshed Restaurant from the Smith family, owners of Rawnsley Park Tourism Pty Ltd, which is based on the original family-owned sheep station.
Rawnsley Park Station is approximately 450km north of Adelaide. The Woolshed was originally built as a machinery storage area attached to the station’s shearing shed. It was transformed in 2000 into the restaurant that we see today. Sheep shearing still took place until April 2009.
If you are coming to visit, Rawnsley Park Station has a great selection of accommodation types and things to do, check out their website, www.rawnsleypark.com.au for more information.
