A quaint cottage in the heart of Moonta township. It had everything we needed. Our 2 teens loved the fire pit and electric guitar. We enjoyed having coffee out the front

Hard to fault

House was in an ideal location, quiet area, close to shops, hotels and other facilities. Obviously lovingly restored, clean, tidy and functional. Lots of room outside. Very impressed with bathroom, toilet and laundry. Good security entry. Highly recommend.

Charming 100 year old cottage was just that. A well preserved and renovated old house in character with many other similar old houses in the interesting and atmospheric streets of central (old) Moonta. The rooms were well furnished and comfortable with efficient cooling available via ACs and ceiling fans. The kitchen was well equipped and local retail outlets only a few blocks away provided for all needs and beyond. We particularly enjoyed the walking distance from the house to the main street, local restaurants and a number of historic buildings. Moonta is a very interesting town, previously unfamiliar to us, and we were delighted by the degree of historic preservation and town pride. This house contributes to that. We were a couple but the house would happily accommodae a family.

The perfect setting for a relaxing holiday, or close to all amenities if you want something different. The house has plenty of character and is like a home from home. I would recommend RoMel House to anyone.

Very character-filled house with everything you need for a comfy stay (even a bread-maker and ingredients to make your own bread!) Very friendly and helpful hosts. Right in the heart of Moonta with lovely big park across the road and supermarket / restaurants a short walk away. Great place to stay

Copper Coast Gem!

One word? Brilliant. It was spur of the moment weekend getaway. Excellent value for money, and far better optioned than most rentals we've stayed in, in the area. A stones throw from the main street, makes this home even better. Thanks for allowing us to enjoy our couple of days break.

Girl's Weekend away

This property caters for quite a few people and child friendly with a selection of games and laundry facilities. However, my dear friend and I had a getaway to rejuvenate so we're without our families. Both our rooms had comfortable queen sized beds in large rooms. The kitchen is huge with a bread maker and provisions for making your own bread with tea, coffee, milk, oil facilities. The bathroom is freshly refurbished with a large shower, hairdryer, shampoo and conditioner. The location is right in town so walking distance to everything. The shops and service in Moonta was delightful. Mel, the owner, emailed right away regarding our stay as well as the day before in regard to keys, etc. Am excellent stay and will definitely be back.
