    Quiet street and a great base to explore Burra. Beautiful gardens. Walking distance to main street. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

    Good but perhaps better for a long stay. Too far from main street, we had to drive everywhere. Garden ok but not well kept.

    I loved the space and ambience of Gardenhouse on George. It was thoughtfully equipped for self-catering, the outlook to the lovely courtyard was soothing, it was warm and cosy, and quirky in the nicest way. The pressed metal ceiling drew our...

    Well done Will on converting the shed into this comfy retreat. It had all that we needed for our 2 night stay. We had a great time! Would highly recommend.

    Breakfast was good. Location: very peaceful - a short drive from town centre. I liked the quality of the bathroom and kitchen fittings and pressed tin ceiling. Bed was most comfortable.

    Nice quiet garden surrounding not far from the town centre. There was everything in the house what you need even heated blankets. Would go there anytime again.

  • Hi, I will be arriving around 7.30pm, is this going to be an issue for check-in?

    Not a problem. All guests receive self check-in instructions on the morning of arrival by way of back-up so late arrivals are always fine.

Will
Nestled deep in a magical garden, the Gardenhouse on George combines Burra’s famed rustic charm with the cosiness of a traditional European gardenhouse but with all the modern comforts.
Your host Will fell in love with Burra when he stopped off for a night’s rest on a trip to the Flinders Ranges from Adelaide some years back. Since that night he dreamt of living in a Cornish Miner’s cottage. In 2021 his wish was granted and for the next two years he devoted time, money, and love toward the restoration of the garden and the large shed and sleep out in the middle of the property which became the Gardenhouse on George.
The Ngadjuri people are the traditional owners of the land in and around Burra and it is likely that the Burra Creek, just down the road from the Gardenhouse on George, has long served as a communal gathering point. Today Burra is a significant regional centre for heritage tourism with its famed copper mine and its many streets of remarkably handsome public and private buildings dating from the 19th century. The property is on the Heysen Trail and in just a matter of minutes on foot in each direction you can be either in the centre of town or standing on the edge of the semi-arid plain that marks the Goyder Line that runs across the state.
