PET FREINDLY

Gum Paddock Country Cottage is situated approximately 9 km from the GPO in the main shopping precinct of Broken Hill and features 1 x Double Bedroom, open Living room with an ornate Fireplace, fully equipped kitchenette and private bathroom.
The Cottage was originally The Silverton Tramway Billiard Hall and has many a story to tell. It was transported to Gum Paddock in 1996 providing a great getaway and is quaintly decorated by a "step back in time" feel but with all the modern conveniences to make your stay relaxing and comfortable.

The Cottage also has a double fold out lounge in the open plan living area so it can accommodate up to 4 people if needed.

Relax in the front cottage garden and enjoy our friendly native Sulphur Crested Cockies who like to visit us regularly or BBQ in your very own private creek.

Take a stroll through the beautiful dry creek bed and down to the Old Railway Bridge, you might be lucky enough to spot some wild Sturt Desert Peas or catch a glimpse of an emu or a kangaroo or two.

Fresh eggs are provided from our free-range chickens. Whilst you're there, your welcome to pick the oranges and lemons. You might even be in time for ripe quandongs.

An absolute Gem in the Outback

During our stay at Gum Paddock in Broken Hill, we had an absolutely fantastic time. The cottage was just charming, immaculately clean, homely, and equipped with everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The location, only a short 10-minute drive from the center, was truly spectacular, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to our experience. The resident-friendly pet kangaroo was delightful, adding a unique and memorable touch to our stay. It was a wonderful retreat that provided the perfect combination of comfort, natural beauty, and a touch of local wildlife. Well worth a stay here. 5 stars ✳️

An outback experience in style!

Fantastic property just 10 minutes drive out of Broken Hill which was very well presented, with lots of small minor touches that are obviously well thought through. One bedroom but our teenage son enjoyed sleeping in the pull-out couch in the living room. Our dog loved being able to roam around the fenced area surrounding the house and watch the kelpie chase the bush turkeys in the evening. The best thing was watching the moon rise as the sun set and experience the beautifully colours of the sky. If you get a chance to stay here, please do it. Great way to experience a little bit of outback with all the comforts of home.

A very pleasant surprise

I needed to be in Broken Hill for work and the motel occupancy rate at the time was over 90% so we were fortunate to find Gum Paddock Country Cottage, not the normal type of accommodation for a business trip but I'm very happy to have had the experience, initially my partner was to come along as well but unfortunately circumstances changed and she was unable to come as she would have loved the cottage as much or more than I did. Being 10KM out of town at 1st the internet connection I needed for work was not present, but Gail and her husband sorted the problem very quickly and I was able to complete my work in the comfort of the cottage. The cottage is a very unique place a little quirky, but overall, a complete delight and I highly recommend both it and the owners 5 stars
