Mypolonga Sunshine

Mypolonga is a small, diverse rural community (we won the Ag Town of the Year Award in 2022) between Murray Bridge and Mannum on the Murray River, with lots of birdlife.  

About 15 minutes up the road is Mannum Waterfalls - a beautiful place for enjoying nature, walking, climbing, and paddling in the rock pools.  And, for interstate visitors, we are about an hour and a quarter from Victor Harbour, Adelaide, or the Barossa Valley.

At Mypolonga Sunshine, I offer The Old Stone Dairy, a building that is over 100 years old and has been converted into a comfortable space to rest up for a night or several. It's not a luxury destination, but has a historic charm, and provides a farm-stay style experience.

The property is 7 acres, and there are 3 horses, 2 dogs and 10 chooks also residing here.

Dogs and other pets are welcome - you are even welcome to bring your own horse. We have a yard available for your horse, at a small additional cost per night (please add to booking via Extras).

Bush camping at its best.

Firewood available to purchase on arrival, $25 for a large container and fire drums are provided.

NO CHAINSAWS

A beautiful peaceful spot with plenty of space for caravans, campers, tents and swags.

We have a small flock of sheep to pat, children love to ride their push bikes down the hills and through the tracks.  Our scrub is perfect for outdoor imagination and bundles of energy.  Campers have made cubbies in the trees, tyre swings and set up hammocks for lazy afternoons or a swing.

Pick a site that suits you best, set up camp, light a fire and sit back and relax.

Feel free to give them any food scraps you might have. We also have a family of magpies will enjoy any meat scraps you leave for them too.Dallas, our mule is always up for a bit of attention and any apples or carrots you might like to share with him.Dallas is rather special as his dad is a "mammoth donkey" who has been imported from America. His mum is a stunning thoroughbred. Mammoth donkeys  are a  bigger/taller breed of donkey than Australian donkeys are. They are beginning to be used up north on stations instead of horses as mules are sturdier, more sure footed, not as flighty as horses so safer for stock men and women to use working with cattle. They can live into their late 30,s so have a longer working life as well. Dallas was born in 2023Campsites 1, 2 and 3 are on the right hand side as you drive in via the automatic opening gate which you will be given access to once we have added your mobile number to the system after you have booked.
