You may get to see our friendly family of magpies that regularly show up on the front lawn. Until we meet...

About the host

Hosted by Gaye Buckingham

Host profile image
Hi my name is Gaye and my husband of 50 years is Peter.
I am an Ayurvedic Practitioner, Yoga Teacher and Massage Therapist and have a passion for helping people find the path to good health.
Peter is now retired and enjoying life on the coast.
Together we set up a seperate guest apartment within our home to provide a place for people to come and stay, to rest, relax and rejuvenate from the very fast pace of living.
We are so lucky to have had an amazing experience with a large variety of guests from all walks of life and from many different countries. Many of whom we continue to remain in contact with.
As hosts we are here to provide the very best experience possible for each guest and are available as needed to guide you to some of the best local wineries, restaurants and beaches as well as advice on getting around whether by car, train, bus, or taxi.
We also respect your privacy and after meeting with you where possible on your arrival or soon after, we leave further contact up to you and your guests.

Why they chose this property

After living in Adelaide from the time we were married in 1975 to 2000, we decided to move to Queensland for a change of climate and lifestyle, once our children had left to make their own way in life.
We set up home and business in Forest Lake, a lovely suburb in Brisbane and enjoyed the outdoor style of living with our new found friends. Life was great, business was good and we flew our sons and their girlfriends to Queensland to visit us many times in the ten years we were there. As the boys became serious in their relationships and weddings were planned and babies arrived, it became harder to say goodbye to our growing family.
Nearing the end of 2009 we decided it was time to sell up and move back to Adelaide to be closer with our family.
We found this amazing home nestled between some very beautiful Southern beaches and the award winning wineries in the McLaren Vale region. It was perfect for setting up a Yoga Training Centre, a Massage Therapy Clinic and an Ayurvedic Health Practice and still enough room for Peter and I to live privately and very comfortably.
We are now retired, as well as being Nanna and Poppa to our four amazing granddaughters.
Having a couple of spare bedrooms and a bathroom rarely used, we decided to convert a third of our house to an apartment, where we could bring our friends from Brisbane to stay and still have their privacy.
We engaged professional builders to design and create a kitchen out of the laundry and put in privacy fencing and screening so guests could have their own courtyard and private outdoor eating area.
It was then that our Bed and Breakfast apartment was born.
We opened for business in October 2018 and have been enjoying the adventure ever since.
We have met some amazing people and have fun preparing the apartment for each new guest.

What makes this property unique

We love the position of the house set on a corner with a park opposite and amazing ocean views. It has a verandah at the front where we spend many evenings with a glass of our favourite McLaren Vale wine watching the colourful sunsets over the ocean. Beautiful in Spring, Summer and Autumn and stunning when the Winter storms roll in off the sea.
The house has a welcoming charm and our visitors, clients and guests all feel at home with us.
A short stroll takes us over a parkland and into a wetland where the bird life is abundant, More so when the winter rains arrive.
On the hot days of summer the ocean beckons and it is one of the only two beaches in Adelaide where cars can be taken onto the beach. Great for setting up camp for the day. White sandy beach in summer with amazing rock pools to explore on low tide. Then when winter comes, the ocean pebbles make their way to the top of the sand and the terrain takes on a totally different aspect. Walking past the ochre coloured cliffs and stopping to chat with locals walking their dogs adds a unique flavour to the beach experience.
Highly recommended for any time of the year.
