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.

A great family hideaway - so much fun. Open fires, all the amenities you need.
We had the best time, so close to fishing and we caught heaps of marron and enjoyed our stay on the property. So many beautiful day trips out in glorious wildlife and countryside. The kitchen was all stocked and we could cater for all our guests for our party with the huge oven, glasses, coffee machine, cutlery and platters to boot.

The Gum Valley Quarters was very spacious, with many bedrooms and bathrooms, to host large groups of people. There are many movies to choose from, and the drive there is scenic. There is plenty of space outside and the firepit always has wood stocked. All rooms were very clean and had fresh bathroom towels ready, as well as a room heater for the cold. Overall, this is a ideal place for large groups to stay when coming to Kangaroo Island.
