Bed & Breakfast

At "The Gums" you will enjoy the peace and tranquillity. It's so relaxing and peaceful that you may be reluctant to leave. The beautiful garden setting offers many nooks and crannies in which to just sit and enjoy and take time out. If you're a bird lover then the many feathered visitors to the garden will give you hours of pleasure.
However, if you want to explore Adelaide city and the surrounding area, "The Gums" is ideally situated for visiting the beaches or the hills or the McLaren Vale and Fleurieu Peninsula. At the end of the day, come back to a friendly welcome, a nice hot cuppa and some chocolate to die for. The sumptuous breakfast in the morning will top off your stay and you can continue your journey feeling relaxed and revived and ready to take on the world with renewed vigour.

Please Note: This Property Accepts cash only on arrival.

A minimum of 2 nights' stay for long weekends or special events.
