We cannot thank Nigel enough for making our stay so comfortable and happy. Not many hosts make you fresh bread timed to be just cooked when you’re arriving. Nigel obviously takes great care and pride in keeping the home so nice. We had a great sleep 😴 on the very comfortable bed. We were able to enjoy a wonderful breakfast and coffee ☕️ with the fresh eggs and bacon and the bread Nigel provided. The house had lots of maps and pictures of local landmarks. We found these highly interesting and informative. Very relevant for our tour of Ikara Flinders Ranges National Park. We came away enriched by meeting Nigel and staying at his well kept home.

A fully kitted out kitchen with all the supplies and gear you need to enjoy a wonderful breakfast, including Nigel’s fresh baked bread! On a clear night the stars are amazing and so bright. A great base from which to explore Wilpena Pound, with the benefit of meals at the local pub.

Nigel’s place was wonderful and was a welcome stop on our road trip. The house is comfortable, the beds and linen were clean and cosy, we appreciated the breakfast and the wide selection of milk ( the nut milk!). It’s a shame we didn’t have longer in the Flonders Ranges but we’ll be back to visit. Thanks Nigel
