This was an amazing place to stay.We honestly felt like we were home. The rustic feel ticked all the boxes for us. Gawler was so central for what we needed to do and didnt have to stay in the city but was close enough for us to visit Adelaide The hosts were very friendly and left goodies their for us. 10/10 for us would definitely go back and highly recommend

Sparkling clean and very comfortable

We loved staying in this cosy house. It was comfortable and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the treats and breakfast too, although would have loved a less sweet wine. Would highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Kirsten Whisson

Host profile image
My husband and I have been welcoming people wanting fully furnished accommodation for over 10 years. We have accomodated travellers looking for a base to explore the Barossa Valley, people working in the area, movie production staff, people coming to Gawler for an event such as a wedding (have even had it used for wedding photos) and even for people who were going through a rocky period in their marriage.
We both work full time, Warren as a teacher and me as a Podiatrist.
We have 3 sons who seem to have caught our travel bug with one currently living in Norway and the other one cycling around Europe.
Warren and I have travelled extensively and usually choose some kind of adventure travel. I have walked the Kokoda track and Warren has cycled the Gibb River Road as 2 examples.
We look forward to welcoming you to our property and like to make your time there as comfortable as possible.
We always welcome feedback as to how we can improve your time at Rustic on 13th.

Why they chose this property

You won't be disappointed when you choose Rustic on 13th.
We are only the second owners and it was lovingly built by Rex Earl Roy who designed every inch of it and built it all himself refusing help from anyone.
When we first saw it we decided it was too beautiful not to share with more people so decided to set it up as a fully furnished cottage.
The location is quiet with off street parking.
Comfortable beds and easy open plan living.
Fully equipped kitchen yet within walking distance to the many cafes, hotels and restaurants that Gawler has to offer.

What makes this property unique

There is a lot of pink which Rex chose and we have decided to keep it as it is very calming.
You can sit on the front verandah and listen to the birds.
There is an undercover area out the back which has an electric BBQ for you to cook up a storm on.
