Exceptional

One of the best restored heritage town in SA. We stayed the first night to experience Nilpena NP then came back for an additional night. Great facilities, beautiful area, secluded and quiet.

Well worth the drive!

Just loved Beltana! Easy short drive in from the hwy to an historic town full of original stone buildings. I was the only van in for the night but the ever-hospitable and friendly Jan still came down and opened up the Hall so I could check out the artwork and enjoy a cold brew, thank you. Fantastic hearing all the plans for renovating and re-opening the Hotel, look forward to a coldie at the front bar on my next visit! Spotless amenities and a very peaceful sleep.

Wonderful old town camping ground.

It was really lovely staying at Beltana village. The town people have done a wonderful job keeping it a going concern as well as creating a camping ground next to the town hall. It certainly raises awareness of the importance of keeping these historic places alive. The camp ground is well laid out and the amenities were great. We also loved all the historical information on all the plaques and boards around the town. We had an early morning walk to cover them all. Jan is a lovely person to deal with and we feel happy to support the Progress Associations of the little towns we have visited. Well done Beltana. Julianne

The town of Beltana is a national treasure. My two days and nights there gave me an authentic taste of outback life (but with the benefits of great mobile coverage and clean facilities). Jan and the townsfolk are to be commended on their hard work in preserving a very unique place. The closeness to Bilpena National Park is significant bonus.
