Independent Melrose hotels

"What a find in regional South Australia. a tastefully furbished very well appointed place to stay in an area where my expectations were not high. Rooms are large, beds comfortable, everything was clean and in working order. The restaurant serves good food (portions on the large side!) and staff are attentive, friendly and competent. I highly recommend this place for anyone who is visiting Port Pirie."

"We loved feeding the goats and other farm animals. The house was more spacious than we expected and pleasantly unusual. Kat was welcoming and friendly. We had a wonderful stay. "

"The bush walks are an amazing way to get back to nature, the staff are super friendly & helpful, my dog was welcome. My new home away from home, loved it 😍."

"The room in this old hotel was as described, clean and comfortable enough. Our host was friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed having the spillover space of the common room for breakfast and games (& we happened to have it to ourselves). The pub meal was good, and we didn’t mind the reasonable evening noise from the pub. The Wilmington Hotel met our expectations."

"Stopped off here on the way to Port Lincoln. Plenty of places to camp and spots are spread out. Sunset walk is a must."

"We couldn’t have picked a better place to stay for our short visit to the area. The house was warm and comfortable and had everything we needed for a self contained stay. The location was perfect, the beach was great for walking, shell collecting and bird watching, and when it was too cold outside we played board games and did jigsaw puzzles from the house collection! Loved the shack, would highly recommend for anyone wanting to get away from it all. Thank you Nigel and Mel - you have created...

"What a great base for multi generational get away. Everything that you need and a few extras. Well decorated, but nothing to make you nervous."

"It was wonderful to stay in such a special place. Thank you for your hospitality. It really is a trip back in time that is refreshing."

"Beautifully and tastefully renovated upstairs apartment with fantastic views of the Pirie River/Solly Beach and the magnificent Flinders Ranges from the balcony & family room/kitchen. Well equipped right down to scissors & sticky tape. It is much roomier than the photos depict and is very easy to live in. Would stay again and highly recommend. Thank you Courtney"
