About this cottage rental
PET FREINDLY
Gum Paddock Country Cottage is situated approximately 9 km from the GPO in the main shopping precinct of Broken Hill and features 1 x Double Bedroom, open Living room with an ornate Fireplace, fully equipped kitchenette and private bathroom.
The Cottage was originally The Silverton Tramway Billiard Hall and has many a story to tell. It was transported to Gum Paddock in 1996 providing a great getaway and is quaintly decorated by a "step back in time" feel but with all the modern conveniences to make your stay relaxing and comfortable.
The Cottage also has a double fold out lounge in the open plan living area so it can accommodate up to 4 people if needed.
Relax in the front cottage garden and enjoy our friendly native Sulphur Crested Cockies who like to visit us regularly or BBQ in your very own private creek.
Take a stroll through the beautiful dry creek bed and down to the Old Railway Bridge, you might be lucky enough to spot some wild Sturt Desert Peas or catch a glimpse of an emu or a kangaroo or two.
Fresh eggs are provided from our free-range chickens. Whilst you're there, your welcome to pick the oranges and lemons. You might even be in time for ripe quandongs.
Gum Paddock Country Cottage is just the perfect way to get back to nature. Come and relax with us for a while.
Complimentary, fresh eggs and citrus from the Orchard are provided on arrival from our free-range chickens when available.
PETS ARE VERY WELCOME!
Pet Fee Stay is $50
Your friendly hosts are Chuck & Gail Cresswell.

During our stay at Gum Paddock in Broken Hill, we had an absolutely fantastic time. The cottage was just charming, immaculately clean, homely, and equipped with everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The location, only a short 10-minute drive from the center, was truly spectacular, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to our experience. The resident-friendly pet kangaroo was delightful, adding a unique and memorable touch to our stay. It was a wonderful retreat that provided the perfect combination of comfort, natural beauty, and a touch of local wildlife. Well worth a stay here. 5 stars ✳️

What a lovely property and garden. Its a gem worth a detour.

Fantastic property just 10 minutes drive out of Broken Hill which was very well presented, with lots of small minor touches that are obviously well thought through. One bedroom but our teenage son enjoyed sleeping in the pull-out couch in the living room. Our dog loved being able to roam around the fenced area surrounding the house and watch the kelpie chase the bush turkeys in the evening. The best thing was watching the moon rise as the sun set and experience the beautifully colours of the sky. If you get a chance to stay here, please do it. Great way to experience a little bit of outback with all the comforts of home.

I needed to be in Broken Hill for work and the motel occupancy rate at the time was over 90% so we were fortunate to find Gum Paddock Country Cottage, not the normal type of accommodation for a business trip but I'm very happy to have had the experience, initially my partner was to come along as well but unfortunately circumstances changed and she was unable to come as she would have loved the cottage as much or more than I did. Being 10KM out of town at 1st the internet connection I needed for work was not present, but Gail and her husband sorted the problem very quickly and I was able to complete my work in the comfort of the cottage. The cottage is a very unique place a little quirky, but overall, a complete delight and I highly recommend both it and the owners 5 stars

Very nicely presented, comfortable and beautifully furnished. The adjoining under-cover carport was very handy when it rained. Mobile phone reception very poor. An internet connection would have been useful.

This is a really comfortable and clean property and it’s well located, just a short drive to the main centre. We only spoke to the hosts briefly, they were really nice and accommodating. We’d happily recommend this place to anyone visiting Broken Hill and surrounds.

Property was great, unfortunately didn't check the wifi connection as most places these days have wifi. No wifi which was a problem seeing as I needed to connect with work

Definitely one of the best places we have stayed. Has a great personal touch and all you would require. Handy to main attractions but far enough out of town for a very relaxing stay.Our 2 OES really enjoyed all the comforts of home, with a secure courtyard to make sure they are safe.We look forward to returning.

Private, comfortable and decorated to a theme. The cottage has historical charm but is well appointed. We enjoyed our stay very much! Broken Hill is a great town and the countryside is unique and beautiful.

The cottage keepers were just lovely! They made both my partner and I as well as our beloved little dog feel right at home. The cottage itself was clean, cozy,and had everything you would need. We would certainly return!

A well equipped cottage, great hosts and being dog friendly made it even better. Loved the fact it was out of town and the resident chickens, wallabies and cockatoos made the stay that much more enjoyable. Definitely would stay again next time in Broken Hill.
