El Questro is situated in the East Kimberley, 110 kilometres west of Kununurra by road - 58 kilometres on the sealed Great Northern Highway towards Wyndham, with the remainder on the unsealed and corrugated gravel Gibb River Road.
Up-to-date road conditions and information are available 24 hours a day on 1800 013 314.
Driving Conditions
- Be careful not to underestimate travelling time when driving in the Kimberley. Allow an average speed of 80 km per hour on sealed roads and 50 km per hour on unsealed roads.
- Always ensure you carry adequate supplies of fuel, food and most importantly, water.
- Nearly all of the Kimberley is cattle country, most roads are unfenced, which means cattle, horses, and donkeys can wander across the road at any time. Night driving can be dangerous due to straying animals. Extreme care is advised.
- Large road trains (semi trailer with three other trailers) can be up to 50 m long. Caution is recommended when overtaking these vehicles.
4WD Hire
Whilst El Questro does provide return road transfers from Kununurra, as well as guided tours, more adventurous and independent guests should consider hiring a 4WD vehicle for their stay at El Questro.
All major car rental companies have offices in Kununurra.
A 4WD vehicle gives you the freedom and flexibility of exploring the Wilderness Park and experiencing the magic of the Kimberley at your own leisure.
You could extend your 4WD hire to include the numerous attractions in the Kimberley. Like travelling the infamous Gibb River Road from Kununurra to Derby and onto Broome, returning on the Great Northern Highway through Fitzroy Crossing, Halls Creek and Turkey Creek.
