North Bundaleer

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. Although the surroundings may be grand, the ambience is relaxed and informal. Let them welcome you as their guests for a unique experience of rest and recuperation. The aim of North Bundaleer is to provide an environment in which to unwind and enjoy the simple pleasures of life, a good meal, fresh air, and good company.

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, they can organize 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, they can whisk you to the top of their 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.

Guests have the use of the entire Homestead, including the formal Drawing Room and Library. For conversation, reading, pre-dinner or after dinner drinks, these rooms are the ideal location. Both have open fireplaces and comfortable seating. The decoration in the Drawing Room has been designed around an original hand painted frieze over two columns set in a bay window which contains two curved E F Troy leadlight windows picturing almond blossom, birds and butterflies. With an antique French Aubusson carpet, fine antiques, original artworks and oil paintings, French Rose marble fireplace, the room is elegant and feminine. The Library has more the atmosphere of a gentleman’s club, with William Morris wallpaper and curtain fabrics. The original wood graining of oak, bird’s eye maple and tortoiseshell complements the antique mahogany partners’ desk and oak break front bookcase, Ethiopian parchment paintings, antique prints and etchings. The Homestead contains a large and eclectic selection of over 2,000 books. Daily newspapers, magazines and periodicals are provided. Satellite television is available in a separate sitting room.

Located 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 (up to DC3).
