Absolutely loved our stay at Gumtree Guest House!
We didn't want to go home.
The guest house is located in a quiet bushland setting, overlooking quite a number of huge gum trees that were home to an abundance of birdlife. We enjoyed daily visits from a large family of kookaburras, a couple of tawny frogmouth owls and beautiful rainbow lorikeets.
If you're lucky you may also get to see some kookaburras come down from the trees in the afternoon for a hand fed treat!
There is also a collection of little native (stingless) bee houses spotted around the property which we enjoyed stopping by, to admire the 'hive' of activity coming and going from them.
The property itself is very modern and furnished beautifully, with plenty of space for couples, or a small family of 4 like ours (with the kids sharing the 2nd bedroom). The master bedroom, living room and 2nd bedroom boast stunning views over the spotted gum tree lawn and bushland beyond.
In between the main residence and guest house is a gorgeous pool that would be delightful in summer, but was just as lovely to gaze into in the winter with the stunning backdrop of gum trees and birdlife to listen to and watch.
The property owners are lovely and happy to leave you be, but also very welcoming and friendly.
The property is secluded, but also only minutes from the main highway.
Would definitely highly recommend staying at Gumtree Guest House! You won't be disappointed.
