Bullo River Station has unveiled further details of its homestead redevelopment, with the 400,000-acre outback cattle station set to reopen in May 2027.
“The power and rhythms of the station and its extraordinary setting outshine any of its human-made structures. Our hope is that guests returning to Bullo in 2027 and beyond will feel that it is both exactly the same and yet also better,” said co-owners Alexandra and Julian Burt.
The redevelopment nearly doubles the size of each of the 12 guest rooms, increasing from an average of 20 square metres to 39 square metres, with significantly expanded outdoor areas.
Two rooms have been designed to flex for family stays, while one new suite accommodates guests requiring greater accessibility.
The homestead also features a new open kitchen, anteroom, library and bar, lounge and multiple breakout spaces, with thoughtful landscaping introducing a series of green rooms framing views of the surrounding landscape.
Stylist and designer Sibella Court, who first shaped Bullo’s design language in 2018, returned to continue her work at the property.
“Bullo is not a place you design over. It is a place you listen to. The landscape is powerful, elemental and deeply storied. Our approach has been to allow the materials and spaces to feel as though they emerge from that country,” Ms Court said.
Energy efficiency is a key focus of the redevelopment, with design strategies aimed at reducing cooling demand, increasing water capture and strengthening solar power generation.
Bullo River Station’s partnership with the Australian Wildlife Conservancy continues throughout the redevelopment. Reservations for the 2027 season will be announced in due course.
