Why Melrose SA
We were on our Australian Road trip from Sunbury Victoria and then after nearly 3 months and 2500 km on the road and a stop in Port Agusta we met these lovely people who in introduced us to MELROSE. Well we looked at each other on the drive in from the north and said nothing, in the back of my mind l had a huge WOW FACTOR.
We left our motorhome/bus for a short walk and chatting to some friendly local’s, and then we came across the old 1881 bank which was up for sale so we purchased the building. After a very short discussion between our selves the old bank was to good to keep to ourselves, so we decided to share the building with the public, and went through all of the permits applications for a B&B, and a licenced café (serving light meals).
This very historic town of Melrose, which is the oldest town in the Southern Flinders Rangers, is a short drive to Port Perie via the Port Gemaine Gorge with a 40 min scenic drive. At Port Gemaine you can catch fish and go crabbing off the 1.5 km long pier. Then to Port Agusta the main town to head north through to Darwin or West to Perth via the Horricks pass another beautiful scenic 40 min drive.
From the our B&B and Licenced Café you will be looking at Mt Remarkable which is 450 mts to the base with famous walking/push bike trails .Mt Remarkable is 1000 ft above Melrose.
3 doors up towards the Nth Star Hotel is the Over the Edge bike shop and they run annual Fat Tyre Festival in June and the 18 hour trail ride. At Easter time they hold a 5 day tennis tournament. It is a short walk past the pub to another park called Paradise Park 2 doors down is the Mt Remarkable Hotel with great meals also and a great country atmosphere. Opposite our old Bank is one of our War Memorial Park/Playground for the kids.
We will do our very best to not only welcome you to Melrose but to our host B&B and Licenced Café and a lot of memories and history to take with you to tell your friends about. Your stay with Woz & Donna will be very inviting.
