About this property

Country bakehouse Accommodation

Carol invites you to enjoy a relaxed stay at the Spalding "Country bakehouse Accommodation". The century old bakehouse residence has been tastefully renovated, blending antiques and modern furnishings for style & comfort.
Country bakehouse is a unique historic Baker's Residence, full of history & charm.

Spalding is central to the wine region of Clare, the historic Copper mining town of Burra, the Jamestown forest & Crystal Brook - well known for its Bakery. Country bakehouse Accommodation provides a perfect venue for day trips to towns in the lower Flinders Ranges and a central base for walkers and bike riding enthusiasts on the Mawson and Heysen trails which meet at Spalding. Uniquely situated between 4 rivers & the Bundaleer Reservoir, your minimum 2 night stay includes a "catch & release" free Permit for Trout fishing on the Broughton River.

Continental Breakfast provisions are included in the tariff and a well- equipped, country kitchen and gas BBQ are provided for your convenience.

Couples, families, walking groups and bike riders are welcome.

The Country bakehouse is an ideal place for romantic couples to share a weekend, families to stay for short breaks & holidays or trail walkers to spend a comfortable night after a brisk walk on the Heysen & Mawson Trails. We provide a "home away from home" with lots of interesting reading materials, family board games, DVD's and a large digital screen with satellite TV.

Attached to the residence, in the old bakehouse is an extra teen retreat room. This room is ideal for extra family members with a queen and two single beds provided.

Why not take a weekend break, go fishing or photograph the scenic Broughton River, visit wineries or coffee shops in the Clare Valley or explore dugouts and underground tunnels at the historic mining town of Burra.

Travel North through Jamestown to visit the Railway Museum at Peterborough or South to the Historic town of Mintaro to lose yourself in the Maze or make a visit to Martindale Hall. Because we are central to so many Historic towns we are able to provide a comfortable retreat at the end of a day exploring the Mid North of SA.

Fishing & Small Town Experience

The Country bakehouse is situated in the small town of Spalding,178km north of Adelaide and on the fringe of the Clare Valley. The Heysen & Mawson trails meet at Spalding and we have excellent sporting facilities including a Summer swimming pool, oval, tennis courts, parks and playground. There are historic Churches a Post Office and Primary School. The General store Cafe is open 7 days for take-a-way food & great coffee, & meals are available Thursday- Sunday at the Spalding Hotel.

The Fresh Water river flows through Spalding to join the Broughton downstream. Visitors can enjoy the river scenery and your accommodation includes a "catch & release" permit for trout fishing enthusiasts. You may not catch a trout or a cod but you could enjoy a day out along the river exploring the pools & why not take a picnic on a Spring day.
The Bundaleer Reservoir was opened in 2016 for Recreational fishing.
During your stay at this bed & breakfast, you'll be close to Bundaleer Reservoir. Features include breakfast (surcharge).
  • Breakfast is offered for a fee
  • 5.5 mi (8.8 km) from Bundaleer Reservoir and 23.3 mi (37.6 km) from Jim Barry Wines

Surprisingly good
Spalding is a very remote town but this property was surprisingly good. It is lovingly maintained, very clean, and has lots of thoughtful touches. Such as the continental breakfast, fruit bowl, and bathroom essentials. It also had games and dvds for the kids, and a nice sunny spot in the garden to sit with a cup of tea. Everything we needed.

Lovely experience!
Carol was wonderful, her attention and care about little things was much appreciated. She found out a couple of the group are allergic to gluten so she took extra care to get bread they could eat. She was warm, friendly and couldn't do enough for us! Thank you Carol we had a wonderful time!

Good but not great
A well-presented and well-equipped place, but not actually very dog friendly as they are asked to stay in the backyard (one side of the fencing isn't dog-proof though) and sleep in the laundry (which is detached from the house). Not a good place for couples if you want privacy as Carol likes to come by and 'check in'. Breakfast goodies were supplied which was a nice touch.

Fantastic
Country bakehouse Accommodation is the ideal place to stay in the Mid North of SA. It is full of History & has so much character. Very clean & comfortable, so relaxing & everything supplied, even some lovely breakfast provisions. Very central to all the lovely mid north towns for antique hunting & coffee shops.

Well preserved historic residence
The country Bakehouse Accomodation in Spalding makes for a very comfortable base to explore the mid-north or walk some of the Heysen Trail. Scrupulously clean, warm and well appointed, the country Bakehouse is great to come home to after being out and about. The "little extras" included a bread & cheese platter, fruit, generous sized soap, fluffy towels and comfy beds. The historic character of the building are evident in its sympathetic restoration, carefully recorded in a photo album by the owner Carol.
