About Kapunda; Perfectly located between the Barossa and Clare Valleys and only 1 hour from Adelaide.
This delightful building is centrally located and you have all the local history at your door step. So much to see locally and many famous names will confront you such as Sir Sydney Kidman, the worlds largest known private land owner of the day (the cattle king), Charles Bagot and France Dutton (Kapunda Copper mines), Sir Jenkins Coles (the first premier) and mother Mary McKillop to name a few.
If you have an interest in wine there are over 130 wineries being a combination of large corporate and small boutique within a short distance to explore.
We look forward to you enjoying the benefits and features of the Kapunda School of Mines homestay soon

A fantastic location. Felt luxurious and homely at the same time. I hope to return and book it again for another weekend.

Clean and ideally located albeit being a residential property in the main street surrounded by businesses means that not all civic functions realise you are trying to sleep between 12 and 2am. But that was a minor issue across 4 nights.
