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

Great central location
We had a fantastic week, visiting the Murray River mouth (a highlight and worth the drive), Adelaide beaches, and the Barossa and Clare Valleys. Being from Brisbane, we also enjoyed the long twilights with self-guided walks and displays in Kapunda. The accommodation was like Grandma's house with quality mod-cons and plenty of room for us all. High speed internet was vital for our uni student son and the totally reclining lounges meant we could easily fit in a second adult child. The huge dining room windows were amazing, giving lovely views to the hills and making the dining room a huge indoor verandah.
