A la Folly B&B

Charming Pet-Friendly Bed & Breakfast in Murray Bridge

Best Romantic & Pet-Friendly Getaway Near Murray Bridge
Located just outside Murray Bridge, A La Folly is a lovingly restored former dairy farm, offering a charming blend of rustic stone buildings and creative décor. Set in tranquil bushland not far from the Murray River, it makes an ideal escape for couples and travellers with pets—think peaceful mornings, quirky history, and comfort rolled into one.

Historic Charm with Personal Hospitality
The property dates back to the mid-1870s and once housed Australia’s first female blacksmith. Its heartfelt restoration by hosts Rob and Stef invites visitors into a space rich with artistic flair and down-to-earth warmth. Guest feedback praises the “beautiful, quietly tucked-away” atmosphere, comfortable beds, and the genuine hospitality of Stef, who goes the extra mile to make your stay special.

Thoughtful Accommodations & Touches of France
A La Folly offers distinct rooms, such as the spacious The Retreat—with air-con, kitchenette, lounge and patio—and the cozy Old Workshop, a snug stone-walled suite with garden views. Each stay includes Parisian-inspired touches: crepes or pancakes for breakfast served in-room, with cooked or continental upgrades available. The love for detail, from fresh juice to pampering extras, gives it that sophisticated country charm many reviewers compare to a French gîte.

Quiet Location with Easy Access to Murraylands Attractions
Set on a peaceful property 2–3 km from town, A La Folly is close to River Murray adventures, wineries, Monarto Safari Park and local boutiques. The serenity of the place—paired with convenient access—makes it a perfect weekend retreat or romantic stopover.
