About this property

Meaney's rest is a spacious 3 bedroom, self-contained cottage built in 1883 that has recently been fully restored. It offers the luxury of modern amenities combined with the charm of yesteryear.

The polished Baltic pine and solid Jarrah floors set against the spectacular local sandstone walls boast the perfect atmosphere for a romantic or family holiday away from it all, or indeed a base from which to explore the picturesque Flinders Ranges, Wilpena Pound and surrounds.

Meaney’s Rest is available in its entirety for the guests who have booked it. We take only one reservation (of up to 8 people) at any given time.
Each bedroom, plus the main living area are air conditioned with split-system reverse-cycle systems (ie heating and cooling)
Free unlimited ADSL is provided for your enjoyment, as are google home devices linked to Spotify and a jukebox for music. The televisions in the master bedroom and the lounge room have a selection of premium Foxtel channels and Netflix, along with catch up tv and youtube, whilst the lounge room television also has free-to-air TV.
Relax after a busy day exploring the magnificent Flinders Ranges in your spa with our hotel-style amenities and then slip into your beautifully soft dressing gown and slippers (supplied with our compliments)
There is a lovely outdoor area with adjacent full-sized dining table, small BBQ to cook up a feast, plus free laundry facility (Washing powder supplied with our compliments )

Don't overlook this Gem.

We were pleasantly suprised by the quality of the accommodation & its location in Hawker. If we come to the Flinders Ranges again, we will certainly hope to be able to stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin Cameron

I was born and raised in Hawker before leaving home and serving with the RAAF for 15 years. I now live in Melbourne, Victoria but visit home multiple times per year.
This beautiful property is managed by my very friendly parents

Why they chose this property

Meaney’s Rest (pronounced "Main-eys") was originally purchased after the sad passing of Dan Meaney, a life-long Hawker resident. His cottage was lovingly restored by my sister and brother-in-law and set up as a Bed and Breakfast. In late 2017 they sold Meaney’s Rest to me and I’ve endeavored to make it even bigger and better than it was before.

What makes this property unique

I’ve done my best to give you a real taste of luxury in your home away from home. Meaney’s rest is extremely well located in Hawker with food and drink options located within less than a 5mins walk.
Free internet keeps you connected to the world and luxury extras are provided to make your stay truly memorable.
