We had a really happy time here and the welcome and company of the owner was lovely. We were all made to feel so at home, all in all, just the pefect ‘pit stop’ for us.

A great recommendation. Blue Gum is remote but beautifully set and offers wonderful, engaging service. Great food and lovely rooms, loads of space to wander around in, really enjoyed it here (Kerr Elliott Family, Dec 08)
