Fodor's Expert Review North Bundaleer

Spalding–Jamestown Rd., Jamestown, South Australia, Australia Fodor's Choice

Editor's Note: This location is reported to be under new ownership and therefore this review may contain inaccuracies.

The spoils of wealthy pastoral life await you at this century-old sandstone homestead 61 km (38 mi) north of Clare, on the scenic route to the Flinders Ranges. Beyond the jewel-box hall lined with hand-painted wallpaper is a ballroom where you can play the grand piano, and a peppermint-pink drawing room that's perfect for reading. After dining with hosts Marianne and Malcolm Booth at a Georgian table, you can slip into the canopy bed in the Red Room Suite, the most luxurious of four bedrooms. Rural isolation is a great excuse for taking a dinner/bed-and-breakfast package here.

PROS

  • relaxed and informal despite the grandeur
  • perfect for getting away from it all

CONS

  • city types might find it too secluded and intimate
