1876 Stonemasons Review

| | |

This charming guesthouse in Port Moonta offers a slice of Victorian-era elegance with modern comforts.

The lovingly restored cottage boasts a hot tub, free Wi-Fi, and spa baths, all wrapped in classic heritage style.

We found the rooms cozy and well-appointed, though light sleepers might find the creaky floorboards a bit noisy.

Also, the Victorian-era design means some doorways and stairs could be challenging for taller guests or those with mobility issues.

That said, 1876 Stonemasons is perfect for couples seeking a romantic getaway or history buffs wanting to enjoy South Australia’s past.

With its convenient location and on-site parking, it’s an ideal base for exploring Moonta’s coastal attractions.
