About this property

Gum Valley Quarters: perfect for large groups and families

Struggling to find affordable self-contained accommodation for your large group of friends or family?

Gum Valley's old Shearer's Quarters provides a relaxing, modest farmstay that is ideal for bigger groups on an extended stay and looking for a base near KI's best attractions at the western end.

Located on the North Coast Road between Snelling Beach and Western River Cove, it's a 5 minute drive to these two amazing beaches and not far from Stokes Bay, voted second best beach in the world in 2023 and 2024.

The Quarters has 8 bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, sleeping up to 25 guests.
There's a large open plan living/dining room, an all-weather bbq & entertaining area plus a games shed offering plenty of usable space.
The commercial kitchen is well equipped for the catering needs of many mouths with a gas cooktop/ electric oven, dishwasher and a sizable walk-in pantry.

The Quarters has its own fenced yard, an expansive open area for vehicle parking and a firepit looking down the valley out to Investigator Strait for use in the cooler months.

A supply of basic bedding, linen and towels are available; the laundry also has a large washer & dryer available.
Hire includes basic linen, firewood for the combustion heater and additional refrigeration if needed for all the fish and crays you catch...

Please note: this listing displays default distances incorrectly; it's a short drive to both Snelling Beach and Western River Cove (7kms), not the default 20+ minute drive suggested.
During your stay at this farm stay, you'll be close to Snelling Beach. You'll find features like laundry facilities and an arcade/game room.
