It has been recounted by indigenous locals that Merigan means Dingo. The story being that Merigan fought the Bunyip and in their tussle created the rivers and creeks across the range. It’s a southern Australian Mediterranean environment with distinct seasons – it can reach over 42 degrees and in the winter its been known often to snow. Sometimes in summer the easterly sea breezes reaches over the range and the smell of sea salt cools the hot evening. Merigan offers a range of activities, to relax and settle into rural life. One of the best ways to get the feel of Merigan is just taking a walk around the property. We have 3500 acres of space to meander around and a great spots for picnics, drinks and photographs.

We loved staying at the river shack - it has everything you need for a relaxing, off-grid holiday. The shack is well stocked with cooking supplies and firewood and the log burner kept us cosy during the cold nights. The view from the deck was lovely - we even saw 2 platypus!

2 nights at Eudora Farm

We loved camping at the Shack, even with some very chilly weather we were able to enjoy a roaring fire to warm us up. Sunset on the top of the hill was fantastic as well.

1 night at Merigan Farm

Good location away from the city, star visibility is awesome. Tim was friendly and helpful. I have no problem recommending this place for a family to stay for a bit to escape the city and enjoy some country life.

Platypus, lyre birds, rosella, whip birds etc etc. Shack really well-thought out and well-stocked fireplace kept it warm enough even in middle of winter.

We really enjoyed our stay - everything was straight forward and as described/explained. The cottage outlook was lovely and the sauna was a real treat. We would not hesitate to stay again.

Weekend Trip to Eudora Farm

We had a fantastic time! Sally & Tony were awesome hosts. The hut and area were private and spacious and the grounds were all very well maintained. The views and vistas were stunning. We can't wait to go back. We'd highly recommend! Our dog is so exhausted from his adventure he's been sleeping for days!

Weekend Trip to Truffle Farm Camping

Loved the comforts of a cabin plus outdoor fire and shower. The whole property is lovely and we enjoyed seeing the animals there as well. Close relatively to some great rides and bush. Will love to return. Thanks for your hospitality
