Take a rowboat on the lake or visit the museum and the blacksmiths shop and get an inkling of life as a pioneer. But you won't live like a pioneer in your own rural cabin, supplied with all linen and bedding provided and a wood heater for the cooler months. Evening meals are a breeze with the barbecues, and the children will have no trouble getting to sleep after days in the adventure playgrounds, on flying foxes, boating on the lake, mini golf or on the tennis court. The whole family can go bush walking, wildlife and deer spotting or fossicking for gemstones (you might strike it rich).

A range of accommodation options are available, including fully self contained two and three bedroom cabins, camping grounds, powered caravan sites and dormitory style rooms, ideal for groups. Each cabin can accommodate up to eight people and comes with a fully equipped kitchen, private bathroom, lounge, wood heater and all linen is provided. Each also has its own private barbecue area.

Gumleaves is also centrally located for visiting other East Coast attractions. Walk on white sunny beaches, visit Maria Island and Freycinet Nation Parks, Wielangta Rainforest, or see convict built ‘Spiky Bridge’. A day trip can also take you fishing in the river or swimming in the sea.
