Merilli1885 Recognised Among South Australia’s Finest on The Stay Edit

Merilli1885 is proud to announce our feature on The Stay Edit, one of South Australia’s most respected premium travel platforms. Known for spotlighting the state’s most luxurious, design-led and experience-driven accommodation, The Stay Edit curates only the very best — and we are thrilled to be included.

A Place Where Quiet Luxury Comes Naturally

The Stay Edit celebrates accommodation that offers more than a beautifully styled room — places that create a sense of escape, ease and connection. At Merilli1885, this philosophy sits at the heart of everything we do.

Our restored 1885 cottage, expansive farm setting and signature slow-stay experience embody what The Stay Edit calls “premium South Australian stays”: meaningful, memorable and unmistakably local.

Their feature highlights Merilli1885 for:

• Our quiet-luxury ethos and thoughtful design

• The exclusivity of having the entire 90-acre property to yourself

• The balance of heritage charm and modern refinement

• Elevated touches such as Salus amenities, premium linens and private chef options

• Our prime Fleurieu Peninsula location, minutes from beaches, wineries and coastlines

It is a privilege to be recognised alongside South Australia’s most prestigious boutique stays — properties we admire and are proud to stand beside.

A Beautiful Moment for Our Young Brand

As a family-run property only recently opened to guests, this acknowledgement means a great deal. Features like The Stay Edit help travellers discover small, independent, story-rich places like ours — and we’re deeply grateful.

We look forward to welcoming new guests discovering Merilli1885 through The Stay Edit, and to continuing to share the essence of our farm: space to breathe, time to slow down and a retreat that feels both grounding and beautifully indulgent.
