Samphire: Coorong Accommodation - Pet and family friendly

Samphire is off-the-grid, pet and family-friendly accommodation. We offer a comfortable home-away-from-home, or a convenient base for water activities or exploring the Coorong National Park and region by foot or by car. We are two hours drive from Adelaide, three hours drive from Mt Gambier via the Limestone Coast. Meningie is 10 minutes drive away, a town that has attractions and shops and eateries. For motorsports enthusiasts, our accommodation is 45 minutes drive from The Bend Motorsport Park at Tailem Bend.

Samphire is situated on the edge of the Coorong National Park, a unique natural environment of lagoons and sandhills, where you can experience firsthand the "special something", which is not possible to experience if you just drive past sightseeing through the window. Come and stay at Samphire and sink into that "special something" as the sound of traffic is replaced by the sounds of wind and birdsong and the street lights are replaced by the moon and the stars.

Samphire is a private, fully self-contained attached apartment with decks and a dedicated and fenced garden for the exclusive use of guests. There is free WiFi throughout the suite and the garden. It sleeps up to 4 people. Children two and under are free of charge.

The apartment is comprised of:
• A lounge/dining room that is air conditioned and has a Morso wood-burning-heater. It includes a T.V. and an all-region Blu Ray/DVD player, usb charging plugs, a wireless charging pad and two mobile workstations. There are board games, books and dvds for guest amusement. Bifold doors open onto a deck from where you can see a slice of the Northern Lagoon of the Coorong and the Younghusband Peninsula.
• A double bedroom (Queen size bed) with a sliding door opening onto a private deck and a twin bedroom (the beds can be joined to make a double bed). Both bedrooms have ceiling fans and USB charging plugs. Linen is included.
• A small but extensively equipped kitchen has an Asko washing machine (washing liquid provided), a microwave oven, 2 induction cooktops, an electric kettle and toaster, and a small fridge. The kitchen is well equipped with cutlery and crockery for four, cooking utensils, as well as a fire-extinguisher and fire blanket. Oil, salt, sugar and pepper are provided.
Tea bags, home-mixed Chai, instant coffee and milk are provided.
If you are bringing young children, we have a Portacot (please provide your own child's bedding), BPA-free "crockery and cutlery", a 2 in 1 booster seat, a bathtub, a child toilet seat and a step stool.
• A bathroom/shower/toilet suite. The bathroom includes a first aid kit, hair dryer and hair straightener, sensitive skin-friendly body lotion, shampoo and shower gel, 50+ sunscreen and ladies' essentials. Bath towels are supplied.
• In the garden we have built a deck, largely protected from the wind, as a winter suntrap. It features an outdoor kitchen and barbecue with dining table and chairs and a coffee table. Herbs for guest use grow next to the deck. If it’s the shade rather than the sun that is required there is another outdoor area which is well shaded in the afternoon, is adjacent to the kitchen and looks onto the garden.

We offer our guests the options of cooking everything for themselves, having all cooking done by the hosts (Temporary unavailable) or some variation of these options. It's all open to discussion.

The neighbourhood is a small, unnamed settlement on Seven Mile Road. Seven Mile Road overlooks the Coorong for much of its length. The nearest shopping is in Meningie, about ten minutes drive away. Meningie features hotels, a bakery, supermarket, butcher, service station and eateries, both licensed and unlicensed.

We accept pets into the guest suite. There are outside areas where dogs will be secure. Pets are welcome inside, but we would ask that owners ensure their good behaviour. We ask pet owners to bring their own pet bedding and blankets. If pet owners fail to provide pet bedding, we can provide this service but there will be a charge of $40 per pet per stay. Cash Payment Only. Owners are responsible for damage done by pets, and are expected to clean up pet mess. Pet owners are expected to control their pet's noise so that neighbours are not disturbed. Pets must not be allowed to wander or chase wildlife. Off-the-lead is not allowed in the Coorong National Park.

We endeavour to be environmentally responsible. Our property is off-the-grid (solar powered), and we collect rainwater for all our uses. Our efforts include the provision of environmental products for your use.

Off street parking is available.

Absolutely beautiful property with lovely, thoughtful hosts. I stuffed up the booking and they were more than accommodating and non judgemental. The housemade bread was the icing on an already amazing cake. Highly recommend.

I stayed just one night, travelling with my dog after a long and hot journey. What a lovely and much-needed break this was. Beautiful little cottage with everything you need, and some. And the perfect, safe garden for my dog to roam. I would highly recommend this if you want to wind down.

Great little place for a get away
Overall we loved this little suite, it was modern & cosy! We were given freshly baked bread, was such a lovely gesture. Everything was very well explained on checking in & you can tell the owners take great pride in this home away from home. The only thing I would add is the WiFi is limited & we had no phone reception so if you are travelling with children who have electronics etc keep that in mind. We would absolutely stay their again we had a wonderful time watching the view, sitting in the garden & playing scrabble.

A spectacular off-the-grid experience
An unforgettable little property, Samphire was perfect for my family’s stay in Meningie. A mix of modern finishes while being completely off-grid, it was the best holiday home I have stayed in. From the welcome wine and loaf of bread, to the great selection of board games and DVDs, every need for any family is more than met here. The owners are fantastic communicators and answered all questions, while ensuring we were comfortable throughout our stay.

Very nice getaway, very peaceful and quiet
Friendly hosts, nice and clean accommodation and peaceful and quiet location. Only complaint would be the beach, it was full of black sludge we were unable to swim in it, that's no one's fault. The people working at the local IGA and front bar/drive through weren't very friendly but overall it was a nice getaway.
