Carol Matters invites you to enjoy a relaxed stay at the Spalding "Country bakehouse Accommodation".  This century old bakehouse residence is tastefully renovated, blending antiques and modern furnishings for style & comfort.

Spalding is central to the wine region of Clare & the historic township of Burra & provides a base for day trips to the lower Flinders Ranges. Walkers and bike riding enthusiasts are welcome as the Mawson and Heysen trails meet at Spalding.

Uniquely situated near the Broughton River, a two night booking includes a "catch and release" permit for those who love Trout fishing.

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

Families welcome!

The Country bakehouse is an ideal place for families to stay for short breaks & holidays. We provide a "home away from home" with lots of interesting reading materials, family board games, DVD's and a large screen satellite TV.

Attached to the residence, in the old bakehouse is an extra teen retreat or third bedroom for families and Trail walkers. This room is ideal for extra family members with a queen and two single beds provided. Two families of 4 can comfortably share weekend accommodation with 3 queen beds and two single beds.
Why not take a weekend break, go fishing or photograph the 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.
