The Farmhouse Pantry: Buy SA Week at Merilli1885

Tucked into the rolling hills of Currency Creek on the Fleurieu Peninsula, Merilli1885 is a country escape built on South Australian produce, regional craftsmanship and slow living.

For Buy SA Week 2026, we’re celebrating the makers, growers and family businesses behind every guest stay.

Open the farmhouse pantry and you’ll find South Australian names you know. Maggie Beer. Beerenberg. San Remo, Lucia’s. Beside them sit the Fleurieu’s own: Back Valley Farm eggs, Matchetts dressings, Peninsular Providore olive oil and fresh sourdough from the local bakery. In the fridge, Fleurieu Milk Company milk and yoghurt.

These are the details that shape the small moments of a stay. A slow breakfast overlooking the paddocks. A Farmhouse Candle burning as the light fades. A grazing board of Alexandrina cheeses and a glass of George’s Folly or Smidge Wines after a day on the Fleurieu coast. Both wines are available to purchase in the cottage and SA cheese and wine are always part of our special offers.

As a farmstay on a working Angus cattle property, we believe where food comes from matters. Choosing South Australian producers strengthens regional communities. It also makes a stay feel of its place, not just in it.

Just over an hour from Adelaide, Merilli1885 offers boutique accommodation on the Fleurieu Peninsula, with space to slow down, reconnect and settle into the rhythm of regional South Australia.

To mark Buy SA Week, book direct between 1 and 9 August using the code BUYSA and we’ll include a complimentary bottle of SA wine and a selection of Alexandrina cheeses with your stay. The offer applies to direct bookings of two nights or more, for stays completed by 31 December 2026.

There’s a Buy SA Week bonus from our own paddocks too. Purchase a box of Merilli Angus beef between 1 and 9 August and you’re automatically in the draw to win a 20kg box, as part of our Brand SA promotion. Born and raised here at Currency Creek, delivered to your door. Merilli Angus can be ordered here.

This Buy SA Week, we’re proud to champion local wherever we can. Some of the best of South Australia begins around the table.
