Hotel Description
A RURAL RETREAT - YOUR GATEWAY TO THE FLINDERS RANGES
Situated on 400 acres of native bushland and farmland, North Bundaleer was completed in 1901, one of the last grand Pastoral Homesteads built in South Australia.
Registered on the National Estate, we are situated 190km North of Adelaide, in the Clare Valley wine region, on the way to the Flinders Ranges and the edge of the Outback.
Although the surroundings may be grand, the ambience is relaxed and informal. Let us welcome you as our guests for a unique experience of rest and recuperation.
With the Clare Valley close by, the historic mining towns of Burra and Mintaro to visit, bushwalking along the Heyson and Mawson Trails that traverse the Bundaleer Forest, 4-wheel drive tracks—there is plenty to do, for those feeling more energetic. Self-drive, or guided—we can organise a day to suit your needs, and pack up a picnic to enjoy along the way. For those who prefer to spend their day relaxing in their surroundings, we can whisk you to the top of our hill for lunch or a ‘sun downer’ when a change of scene is required. There are verandas on all sides of the house, so there is always a sunny or shady spot in which to sit and enjoy the view of the surrounding countryside and gardens.

Luxury Hotel Accommodation
Limited to only four couples at a time, each guest bedroom is unique:
RED ROOM SUITE
With deep red washed walls and a canopy bed the Red Room Suite is restful and inviting. The contemporary en-suite bathroom is built into the old conservatory and enjoys a panoramic view of the surrounding hills and gardens.
Arrangements can be made for those wishing to dine alone, to have dinner served in front of the open fireplace in the adjoining private sitting room
WILLIAM MORRIS ROOM
Originally the smoking room with its black and white marble fireplace, the room is named after the William Morris “Fruit” wall paper, and has an antique brass tester bed.
The en-suite bathroom is in what was the original bathroom

Overlooking the formal rose gardens, the Blue Room has a four poster bed, grey and ivory toile soft furnishings and smoke blue walls.
The large en suite bathroom occupies what was previously a bedroom, with a centrally placed bath set in front of a working fireplace.

Facilities
Guests have the use of the entire Homestead, including the formal Drawing Room and Library that feature fine antiques, original artworks and oil paintings. For conversation, reading, pre-dinner or after dinner drinks, these rooms are the ideal location. Both have open fireplaces and comfortable seating. The 'Butlers Pantry' has a fully stocked bar. Guests may help themselves and all drinks are included in the tariff.
Dinner in the Dining Room is an occasion for relaxed enjoyment of the company, conversation and local Clare Valley wines. Food lovers will enjoy the Chef's treatment of locally sourced produce. The Irish Georgian table has witnessed plenty of good jokes and laughter, robust debate, and new friendships.
Weather permitting, a moveable feast may be prepared to be enjoyed alfresco in the garden, or on a hill overlooking the property – the ultimate Outback culinary experience.
For those who would like a deeper appreciation of the local wine scene, the property offers guided tours to the Clare Valley, or make the necessary arrangements for guests who would prefer to drive themselves – including lunch bookings, a suggested itinerary and introductions to prominent Clare Valley winemakers.
The Homestead contains a large and eclectic selection of over 2,000 books. Daily newspapers, magazines and periodicals are provided. Internet access and satellite television is available in a separate sitting room.

Location
We are in the Mid North region of South Australia two and a half hours driving time north of Adelaide, 40 minutes north of Clare, 10 minutes south of Jamestown, and about half way between Adelaide and the Flinders Ranges. Jamestown has an airstrip suitable for light planes. Driving or flying, the property is well situated for an indulgent break either on the way to or from, a trip to the Outback.
