A magical landscape nestled in the heart of the Kimberley offers unique experiences and unforgettable memories

El Questro nestles in the heart of the Kimberley in the Kununurra region. Amidst the vast and ancient landscape of Western Australia's eastern Kimberley region lies the untamed natural beauty of El Questro. It's a destination unlike any other, offering the freedom to explore one of Australia's last frontiers and one of the world's wildest regions. From deep gorges and majestic mountains to hot springs, mud and sand, rainforests and cascading waterfalls, everything the Kimberley has to offer is located on the property's nearly 300,000 hectares, which is why we say El Questro is the heart of the Kimberley! El Questro is a magical, ancient landscape where unique experiences are abundant and unforgettable memories will be created. You can stay at El Questro Emma Gorge, El Questro Station or El Questro Homestead depending on your comfort level. If self-guided adventures are your thing, simply pick up a map at the front desk, or talk to a ranger for advice. It's hard to know where to start! That's why we have maps and suggested routes.

Here you can explore the waterfalls (some are accessible by walking and others are only visible from a helicopter!), hiking (several levels of difficulty), swimming in water holes or hot springs, discovering ancient gorges in the middle of lush tropical gardens and waterfalls, fishing in unique places in the world (some of which are only accessible by helicopter), admire exceptional panoramas from the many lookout points, discover powerful river systems (three of which cross El Questro), observe the fauna and flora with a hundred species of birds and many species of unique plants and choose an accommodation either under the stars in a campground or in a luxurious lodge at El Questro Homestead.

As for the history of the place, nobody knows why the resort is called El Questro. There is a lot of speculation, the mystery adding to the charm of the place. All that is known is that the name was given by Torrance McMicking in 1958. While the lease has changed hands several times, it was in 1991 that Will and Celia Burrell recognized the potential for tourism and purchased the pastoral lease that same year. Within 14 years, the Burrells have pursued their dream of transforming El Questro into a unique Kimberley experience by offering a variety of accommodations, from camping to 5-star luxury, accessible to all.

Emma Gorge is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Kimberley. Not to be missed! To reach it, you'll do a one hour walk along the river and between the rocks. You have a marker on the rocks so you don't get lost along the way. At the finish line, a breathtakingly beautiful waterfall awaits you. The water is freezing but if you swim to the right, you will find hot springs where warm water flows along the rocks. You can sit on the hot rocks to warm up before heading back to shore through the icy water! For the hike, plan to get there early with good walking shoes as it is easy to slip on the rocks.
