ACCOMMODATION KUITPO SA

Kuitpo Forest is situated in the South Mount Lofty Ranges, 45 minutes drive from Adelaide, near the township of Meadows. Established in 1898, Kuitpo was the first of a number of forest plantations in the Mount Lofty Ranges to ensure a sustainable timber resource for South Australia. Today, Kuitpo Forest Reserve covers an area of some 3,600 hectares, of which 60 percent is softwood plantation. Kuitpo's plantations yield some 25,000 cubic metres of timber each year, valued in excess of AUD1.5 million.

Welcome to Forest Gate Cottage on Forest Gate Farm in the picturesque Adelaide Hills. We have been offering comfortable, self contained country accommodation to guest couples in the private guest wing Walnut for over 25 years. You will enjoy a sky-lit master bedroom with queen bed complete with goosedown quilt, a lounge/dining room with television, DVD and film library, a fully equipped kitchen, and private modern bathroom with a little rainwater spa bath. There is off street parking as well. Forest Gate Farm is a small cattle property nestled right alongside the beautiful Kuitpo Forest and is an ideal central location for short trips to Hahndorf, McLaren Vale, Victor Harbour and Strathalbyn. K1 Winery is just two minutes down the road, and other reception venues are also nearby. As well as having their own private breakfast/barbecue garden, guests are invited to roam the rear gardens to see how a Xeriscape garden (no water) can still look quite beautiful following the arrival of the opening rains in autumn, right through to early summer before the ravages of heat takes its toll. Our peak season is autumn though late spring. Please contact us today to discuss your booking. ...
