    Highly recommend The Gums. Host Heather's communcation was great from the time we booked, prior to stay, during and upon leaving the premises. Lovely cosy, warm home. The weather was cold so the gas heater was a wonderful extra. The home has all amenities you need and more. Beds were cosy and very comfortable, like sleeping on a cloud. Definitely worth the money spent.

    The Gums accommodation was comfortable, clean and extremely well appointed. We met Heather on arrival because she was tending to the garden and had a brief but lovely chat.The location was quiet and you feel like you are in the bush. We would definitely stay here again.

    We traveled to Wagga Wagga, a charming spot near the lake. It's a lovely, quiet place just a short drive from shops and local attractions. The area was very clean, and there was enough entertainment for our young kids.
