Working Merino Farm Stays in Horrocks Pass, Flinders Ranges

Relax with the whole family (off the grid) at this very private, peaceful property. A historical working Merino sheep property set in the heart of the beautiful Flinders Ranges 6km out of Wilmington. Looking for some time off the grid, this cottage is the place to stay. Simple cottage with no frills, the perfect spot to connect with nature, or visit Melrose & ride your bikes on the mountain tracks, hike the Heyson trail, ride the Pichi Richi railway, hike Alligator Gorge, and much more.
This cottage is a working cottage that we use when we are busy on the property, shearing time, crutching etc. It is a very hidden stunning property, with beautiful 400-year-old gum trees, a dam close by.

The cottage is solid concrete, with 2 main bedrooms, which are accessed off the dining & kitchen with only one access door to both rooms. The first room has 2 single beds, and the main room has a double bed. The other bedroom is outside off the verandah (we call the sleep-out), but still connected to the house. All clean sheets and pillows will be supplied.

The small kitchen is well-equipped and comprises 2 large fridges and an old vintage fridge used only for drinks or a freezer. The kitchen has 2 gas stoves\ovens.

The dining area has a massive original wood table that our shearing teams sit around and seats up to 12 people. The kitchen is fitted with a brand-new split system for your comfort.

A washing machine is available for use.

The cottage has all been recently painted and new tiled floors throughout the cottage.


Some firewood will be provided for an outdoor fire, upon request.

Property:
PLEASE NOTE This property is private. To access this property, there is a 1km of dirt road that can be bumpy, dusty, muddy or slippery, depending on the time of the year and road grading schedule. The upside is, you have no neighbours, can have a campfire, (But not in Fire Ban seasons usually October to April) can enjoy walks up the hill to see the incredible sunsets and sunrises and even see kangaroos roaming the property and listen to the kookaburras in the old gum trees.

As this is a working Merino property, we have two working kelpies who call this home. Billy, our tan kelpie, has a habit of waking up early and you will typically be greeted by working Kelpies Morton & Billy, on arrival. At night Billy does tend to bark —he’s simply letting us know he’s ready to get to work, or there are kangaroos visiting!

GUEST ACCESS:You drive up our private driveway 1km off the highway Come to our main house and we will direct you to the cottage 100m away from our main house. The road is dirt, therefore if it is wet it can be slippery.

Please be mindful this is a working Merino property and work sheds are strictly out of bounds.

ADDITIONAL SERVICE ON REQUEST:**We can also offer an additional tour up the top of the hills for an additional cost or a champagne & nibbles tour of the magnificent scenic 380 deg view of the Flinders Rangers and Spencer Gulf - please let us know if this is of interest to you as we can not always offer this during busy periods.

OTHER DETAILS :
We have tried to give you the most honest description of the cottage we can, to ensure you know exactly what to expect when you arrive. This property has been in the family for over 50 years and is still a working Merino property.
