Lovely homestead in Deep Creek nature
Had a great 3 night stay with extended family here. Loved that there were 2 fireplaces, which did a great job of keeping us all toasty warm on a windy and rainy weekend, the huge windows in the kitchen and master bedroom made looking out at the birds and kangaroos (with joey's!) an easy past time. Enjoyed the various books, magazines, old school radio/speaker and games in the lounge. Kids loved the tennis court. Good vehicle access to the house and well connected to the main sights of the conservation park. Comfy beds, hot showers. Surrounded by nature in a very comfy house, without any others in sight and limited phone/internet reception (seems the carpark is the best place for reception), is a great reason to just relax, unwind and live the slow life for a while.

The homestead was lovely inside, clean and well kept. The location is in the stunning Deep Creek conservation park. Amazing walks and surrounds. The beds were a highlight, super comfy all with a nice view. Highly recommended! Will definitely be coming back!

Wonderful house for switching off
We enjoyed having screen-free time during our stay at Deep Creek Homestead (no TV, no WiFi and limited phone reception) which enabled us to focus on other things such as exploring the grounds and cards/board games. It’s a great base for exploring Deep Creek Conservation Park and the wonderful walks on offer. We also appreciated the high quality bed linen, towels and electric blankets included for our stay. Jane and Barry were great hosts.

Undiscovered beauty
We loved our short stay at the Deep Creek Homestead. The house was very comfortable for our adult family of 6, Great cooking facilities for self catering, fun games provided and comfortable beds. Perfect location for exploring this gem of a national park in South Australia and getting away from it all. Jane was lovely to communicate with.

Nature at your backdoor
This property provided a beautiful snapshot of Australian wildlife as every morning we woke up to see the kangaroos feeding outside one of the windows. Our daughter, who has only just learned to walk, was especially motivated to take independent steps around the house to see them bounce by the windows. The lack of internet and television encouraged quality family time in a beautiful woodfire setting.

Aside from being whipped at uno by a 6 and 9 year old it was easily the best family stay ever.
