Blue Gum is set on a larger 6+ acre private property where the friendly owners reside full time. You have the private use of 2 acres of unfenced property as guests of Blue Gum. This land spans from the cottage to the water's edge and includes a cabana with dining area and BBQ, boat ramp and beautiful fishing spots.

The 3.2m wide boat ramp enters a small creek which feeds into St Georges Basin. There are limitations on the size of boat that can be used on this ramp - we recommend only tinnies, other small boats or kayaks. The creek is also narrow (15m) and shallow. If you intend to bring a boat please speak to us in advance. Please also note the boat ramp is accessed via a 200m grassy area with trees. In or after wet weather this area may not be suitable for vehicles. We take no responsibility for accessibility based on weather conditions. Guests are responsible for their vehicles and property at all times.

There are a few small steps with hand rail up to the verandah and front door of Blue Gum - please have a look at the listing pictures.

You have private off street parking by the cottage, there is plenty of space for up to 3 cars.

If you intend to bring a boat, please discuss this with us at the time of booking.

Please note, Blue Gum is in a rural suburb surrounded by bush. This really is an escape to nature. You can expect to see a lot of local wildlife from kangaroos to birds to lizards. There is also the potential for snakes to be in this area. Please be very sensible around all wildlife, this is their home and we must not disturb them. Keep a wide berth and ensure children are supervised at all times. Do not feed wild animals and never leave windows or doors open after dusk.

Relaxing Trip
We enjoyed staying at the property. We especially enjoyed the wildlife and the natural quiet surrounding it provides. It was a good getaway trip for our family, especially for my daughter coming out of her last chemotherapy session. Information provided by the host was clear and precise, and really helped us in the local area.
