‘A great base to explore the region, Laura, Crystal Brook, Napperby Gorge, Pirie and Port Germain all within easy distance of Milcowie farmhouse and offering plenty of options for things to do / visit. Although it's also very easy to spend time at the house with the it's relaxed feel; a game of cricket in the back yard; a short ride on the bikes (provided); or feeding the ducks and chooks. The beds were very comfortable (not usually the case at a lot of properties!) and there is a feeling of warmth and generosity created by the owners.’

‘This was an ideal accommodation to base ourselves for walking the Heysen Trail. B&B had everything we needed. Extremely quiet location set in farming property. Beds were comfy. Breakfast provisions were generous and we enjoyed the complimentary bottle of wine. Our host, Peter, was easy to liaise with and responded promptly to our questions.’

‘Our family of 5 had a terrific and relaxing few days here. Our boys loved fossicking around the farmhouse grounds and with the chickens, collecting fresh eggs each day. Plenty of room in the house and a central location to explore the southern Flinders Ranges. Peter as host is extremely warm, welcoming and easy to contact and communicate with. On arrival the home is amply stocked with breakfast provisions and a nice bottle of wine. Overall a fantastic stay and would recommend.’

‘A wonderful stay in what felt like my own home. Few, if any, cars along the road hundreds of metres away. Interesting trains rumbling by in the middle distance: it was fascinating watching them go by. And here was I, deep in the comforts of Milcowie B&B No visitors, PLENTY of breakfast provisions. What a brilliant place just to catch up with yourself and relax. looking forward to my next visit’

‘Walking into Milcowie was like coming home after a long absence. After speaking with Peter a number of times before arriving, it was like being greeted by a friend. He is an absolute joy. The house is beautiful. A delightful mix of old and new makes it feel like home with everything you could possibly need. The breakfast provisions were more than generous and we utilised the extras in the pantry when cooking. The house was proudly presented and spotless. We took advantage of the board games and our son loved the storybooks and little toys. The isolated location and peace and quiet ensured we couldn't do anything but relax and enjoy our stay. We experienced the most incredible sunrise the first morning we were there and loved the silence at night. We really felt like we were in amongst the country life. If you are considering a base from which to explore the Flinders Ranges, the small towns in the vicinity, or even to just do absolutely nothing, Milcowie B&B is the perfect place. We have done a few short trips and this is by far the best, and also the best value for money. After just a three day stay we were sad to leave but we're forever thankful to Peter for helping us create another mini-holiday memory. We will definitely be back.’

‘My family has just had the most enjoyable stay over Christmas at this most enjoyable rural property in country South Australia. In every way the property surpassed our expectations. The farmhouse offers guests including families the ultimate in comfort and tranquility, excellent quality of furnishings and interior decoration and the attention to detail by the owner Peter is well above industry averages. In addition Peter provided us with more than ample supply of provisions and ensured that on arrival we were totally familiar with all aspects of his home. For children there are many activities including bike riding, nature walks and bird watching, ample board games and a good supply of tennis and cricket equipment to use on the well grassed and shaded outside areas. The community pool in Port Pirie is only 15 minutes away. Although the weather was very hot over Christmas the home was very well insulated against the heat and the air conditioning in all rooms was very efficient. We will look forward to another stay in winter.’
