Tailem Bend

I spent the weekend here with my daughter & grandchildren while attending a basketball carnival at Murray Bridge. The property was booked due to the fact that it was a "Farm Stay" which advertised animals for the kids to see & a playground to play in. What you actually get is vastly different!! There were no animals at all other than 2 dogs that barked every time we walked outside & the playground was a couple of swings tied in trees & another very old rusty one. The outside area was too dangerous for the kids to play, while I understand you can do nothing about the limestone, there could be some sort of effort made to make the other areas more pleasant & at least try to control the 3 corner jacks!!   On a positive note the cabin it's self was okay with very basic amenities, the lounge was old & uncomfortable but tolerable. What we found ver annoying was my daughter messaged the owner to let them know that there would be 2 adults & 3 kids staying, however only enough bedding was left for 1 single bed & the queen bed made up. There were no extra blankets for the cold nights so we had to go & buy more bedding to accommodate all of us (very disappointing) luckily my daughter was in need of an air mattress & extra quilts for home but could have done without having to spend extra money on this trip. Lastly I think the owners need to do something about the dogs on the property (one paid us a visit, see video) & the vermin that scampers around in the roof at night. Needless to say we can not recommend this property especially if you have children, it was actually the worst place I have ever stayed:(   Unfortunately I can not upload a video of the dog standing outside the cabin barking at us

Not what advertised to be

Our original one night stay became 2 nights before we even got there and then turned into 3 nights as we just loved the peace & quiet! Megan was fantastic to deal with & was happy to work around our crazy schedule (we arrived at 2am!!)

The spa was lovely, everything was clean & well maintained and we did not feel rushed at any stage. 

This would definitely be our first choice of accommodation if heading across this way again!

Thanks so much Megan! It was lovely to meet you :-)

Love the serenity !!!

Loved the serenity!!

We had a free upgrade to the larger cabin which was a lovely surprise as someone has the smaller one on a short-term lease.

The facilities were good - the only thing missing in the cabin was a full-length mirror! The bathroom had a huge spa bath although I didn't make use of it.

The farm was in a lovely quiet location with animals and birds all around.

On the booking website and confirmation email it said a continental breakfast would be left in the fridge for the first morning of our stay but we didn't get any - this may be because we only stayed for one night.  Also - we only saw the owner briefly on arrival and didn't bother to ask her about it as we didn't mind not having breakfast due to the upgrade!

I would recommend this as a perfect stopover place - we were travelling from The Grampians and stopped here to get the ferry to Kangaroo Island the next day.

A quiet place to relax and ideal for a stopover before going to KI

Booked in last minute, will definitely go back soon!!  We had the cabin with wonderful spa, huge king size bed, was paradise in the country. Lots of acres to explore, we even saw a baby lamb minutes after it was born....Amazing. The lovely lady the owns the farm even let me collect the eggs. FANASTIC weekend.
