Allendale East Other | Fly Lodge - Stay only

2 Bedroom Place in Allendale East, Mount Schank

Located on a working dairy farm, this homestay has two bedrooms with attached ensuites - bedroom one has 1 king size bed-or 2 single beds (sleep 2)(you can see fish swimming from your bed)
Bedroom two has 1 double bed and 1single bed atop plus 1 bunk bed (sleep 5)
Also 1 sofa bed in main family room
sleep up to 8.
Main family room has kitchenette with gas stove top-sink and cupboards with crockery for 8 -microwave.
A gas BBQ is situated outside on the landing over the water.
Open fireplace for cosy fires in the winter or when its cold- allows you to cook toast and marsh mellows or boil a billy- just like everybody did in times past.
Wood for the fire is accessible from a port in the wall next to the fire.
TV and piano for those who can play Main room opens on to the landing where you can sit and enjoy the scenery o you can have a go at tying your own flies. CAREFUL the water is cold and deep-10 feet or 3m at the landing and swimming is permitted - maybe skin divers can test their equipment there -
Building is built from Mt Gambier limestone and is double glazed -makes for a very quiet stay.
What the "Fly Lodge" is aimed at is fishing with flies only (a catch and release ) because of the expense and effort to grow them to big size it is no good to have them eaten- and some of this water is used for irrigation for our 700 dairy cows.
Lakes are dug into limestone and sealed to hold pristine quality water-banks are solid and not slippery and a minimum of obstacles to tangle your fly.
Bring your own fly rod and gear -we have limited gear for beginners to tie their own flies .
We are located on a working family dairy farm where we with4 or so employees milk up to 700 holstein cows- tours of the dairy can be arranged subject to time and what is happening.
Sorry NO PETS please.
Finding our place can be a problem until google maps can be CORRECTED , so turn off the Riddoch Hwy at Post Office Rd ,right into Ellis Rd, left into Telfords Rd-or turn off the Nelson Rd (Glenelg River Rd) onto Laslett Rd,left into Ellis Rd, left into Telfords Rd---left @ 83 and keep left for about 600m. (maybe you could print this to take with you) or ring us on(.Phone no after you book.)
There are lots to see in our immediate area, here is just a few, Mt Schank (an almost perfect volcano, reputed to be the youngest in Australia, popular with tourists)-Nelson and the Glenelg river,(longest saltwater estury in Aust--boat trip ) Princess Margaret cave.--Tantanoola cave--Pt MacDonell SA Lobster capital ( buy a crayfish) MtGambier and environs (blue lake-valley lake) good beaches--surfing and area is famous for its skin diving (freshwater caves) . All within 20 min of Here.

Summary: Very much enjoyed the whole experience with lovely hosts
Kathrine T. May 5, 2025 06:14:04 AM
Summary: Staying in this bespoke quiet cottage was a real treat. The handmade features enhanced the joy of staying in the middle of a private lake. Waking up to a beautiful sunrise over the water with ducks and swans swimming past before enjoying a relaxed breakfast in anticipation of a day in Mount Gambier was a real highlight. Thank you for building this!!!

Summary: Friendly hosts , very informative about the area and tour of property, comfortable beds love the flashing ligts in shower, love Nevilles informative hobbies found them very interesting. The honey and quince jam very tastey and fresh. Enjoyed learning about the process of modern day dairies. Love laying in bed waking up to lovely sun rise out of bed room window.The lay out of little house surrounded by water was lovely.

Summary: Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, absolutely beautiful surroundings. Nev and Barb made us feel so welcome and have wealth of knowledge about many things. Thankyou Neville for showing us around the farm and work shop, it was amazing. I’ll certainly recommend this to our friends if travelling near by. Eric

Summary: Excellent place for family holidays, host we're friendly. So many things to do around.

Summary: The hosts invited themselves into the accommodation after I checked in and didn't seem keen to leave. They also entered the property, without telling me, while I was away, and left foot tracks all over the carpet and floors. Then the next morning the host came over unannounced and insisted I should do a tour of the property. I explained that was not the reason why I booked and wanted to be left alone. 2 hours later he showed up AGAIN insisting to show me some things he had found. Wouldn't leave after telling him multiple times I wanted to be left alone. Ended up closing the door in tears. After an issue not being able to open the door from the inside I left that night and stayed elsewhere. Book here if you don't mind having the hosts being part of your holiday. They seem like a lovely couple, but would not recommend if you want some peace and quiet and to be alone. Was not happy and called to file a complaint.

Summary: A very different and enjoyable place to stay. Great to see the cows getting milked and to feel the atmosphere of a working dairy farm. Nev went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Catching a trout was the icing on the cake!
Russell W. Jun 4, 2023 06:31:52 AM
Summary: A completely different farm stay. Neville is a great host. He is very knowledgeable. His talent for making musical instruments is amazing considering he was shelf taught.

Summary: Quiet peaceful location. Wonderful hosts, Barb & Neville who were very friendly & gave us a farm tour. Highly recommend
Josiah P. Apr 25, 2023 02:21:55 PM
Summary: What an absolutely amazing experience. A diamond off the beaten track. Catching fish from the deck, having the kids experience the 'country', learning about the history of the property, experiencing the gracious hospitality of the hosts and seeing all the 'projects' that Nev has been working on with building musical instruments to fruit bunkers and even a sheep that has a liking for smarties. This is a must do for anyone who has kids that need an escape. As we headed home and were debriefing about the trip in the car, Miss 8 said "Dad, I feel like a new person and never realised that we dont need devices and that exercise is so much fun.
