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).

Loved our one night stay on our way to Flinders Ranges and Lake Eyre from Flinders Victoria. After a couple of nights camping in the ute, it was lovely having a loo to use and under cover cooking facilities of a bbq. We still camped in our ute but enjoyed the gorgeous old stone building to store our clothes and get changed in. The outdoor shower was just a bag warmed up in the sun. The outdoor fire was great to sit around too. We enjoyed chatting to Philip about his poll merino stud.

Weekend Trip to Eckert’s Old Place

We had a great time camping over the October long weekend. Was great to have the amenities, flushing toilet, the BBQ and outdoor table. The cottage was quaint, but perfect size for our large group to enjoy camping. Yard was plenty big to spread out with nice rolling hills past crop fields for scenery - adjacent, a farm shed hiding behind some greenery. It is easy to get to, smooth dirt roads from all directions with Burra about 30 minutes away and Robertstown about 15.

Totally charming stay. The view from the deck was blissful and the cottage was set up with everything you need. My Irish husband loved cooking breakfast on the indoor fire and having a view over the fields from the dunny. Five stars. Hope to stay again.

You can just feel the love and creative thought poured into this space to make what was a truly memorable experience.

Weekend Trip to Eckert’s Old Place

Staying at Eckert’s Old Place was truly like stepping into a living piece of Australian history. The moment we arrived, we could feel the warmth and charm of a family farm that has stood the test of time for generations. It reminded us of the spirit of early settlers – resilient, grounded, and deeply connected to the land. Every corner of the home is filled with soul. The vintage décor, timeless furnishings, and thoughtful touches are just old enough to transport you back to a simpler era – when our great-grandparents might have gathered around a fireplace after a long day on the farm. One of the highlights of our stay was playing board games by candlelight, nestled next to the chimney as the fire crackled gently beside us. That simple moment brought so much joy – it felt like a scene from the past, untouched by time, yet deeply comforting. The surroundings are peaceful, the hosts are genuine and welcoming, and the experience is one we’ll carry with us for a long time. If you’re looking for a place that celebrates heritage, family roots, and the essence of rural Australia, this is it. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a heartfelt, authentic, and soul-soothing stay.

Such a treat to step back in time in this magic stone cottage. It’s delightfully rustic with a brilliant fire place and gentle candle light to read and cook by. Do buy a barrow of wood from Chris as it’s a great mix of kindling and all night burning logs. We loved our two days here!

Weekend Trip to Eckert’s Old Place

Our group was a mixture of tents, swags, camper trailers and cottage users. It was great to be able to use the cottage during what was a VERY windy, cold and wet weekend. The fireplace was amazing and much appreciated. We loved the rustic charm and were pleasantly surprised at the amount of crockery and cooking utensils. Even made a big pot of soup on the open fire.

Weekend Trip to Eckert’s Old Place

We had a great time at Eckert's old place. The cabin was very rustic and unique. There were lots of sheep next door and perfect spot for star gazing. It was a little dusty I think that's because Chris said they had little rain over the past months. But still we enjoyed our stay very much!

My two kids and I loved staying at Eckart’s Old Place. Fabulous mix of farm stay and (almost) glamping. So much easier than packing all the camping gear - running water, furniture, cooking facilities, games for the kids all provided. Chris and Herb were fabulous hosts. The old hut is beautifully presented. We also loved the proximity to the Heysen and Lavender Trails, with so much else to see and do around Burra and the Clare Valley - although we were happy mostly staying put. Robertstown pub and post office were a fun outing one afternoon. We hope to come back again when the weather is cooler with a group of friends, to enjoy the outdoor fire pit. A wonderful place to stay.

We stayed here at Easter over 5 days. The combination of the cottage and being able to camp next to the cottage was perfect for our 3 families. A nice secluded location. The cottage has so much character and history. It was just what we needed considering the 4 seasons of weather we had over the weekend. You step back in time when huddled around the fireplace in the cottage when it is raining and windy outside. The flush toilet is added bonus. It's a great location to explore Burra, Clare, Mintaro or Anlaby Station. Thanks Chris and Phil

I've had a great experience at Eckert’s Old Place. Upon arrival, it felt like time travel to the past and the Cabin was the cherry on top. Chris and Phill are great hosts and have done an amazing job preserving history and retelling the story of that place with such pleasant details, it left me truly impressed. Beautiful sunrise and spectacular night sky just to make the entire experience even better. I couldn't recommend more.
