Meaney's Rest

Flinders Ranges


Built in 1883, Meaney's is an elegant three-bedroom stone house near the centre of town, with burgundy-painted trimming and a little grapevine doing its best to scale the garden arch near the front door. Inside, the stylings lean on history but mercifully resist the temptation of kitsch (love the exposed sandstone wall in the living room).
