Pink Gums Farmstay

Pink Gums Farmstay is a rural stay at 30 Cliffside Road in Currency Creek on the Fleurieu Peninsula, listed by the South Australian Tourism Commission as a historic farmhouse originally run as a dairy. The property sits along Currency Creek itself, with year-round spring water, walking tracks and views over the inlets towards the lower lakes, and the homestead keeps its rustic character alongside air conditioning and a full kitchen.

Dogs at Pink Gums Farmstay

The listing describes the property outright as pet-friendly, and pets are welcome to stay overnight. What it does not publish is a pet fee, a size limit or which parts of the homestead dogs can access, so confirm all three directly with the property when you book. It is a farm and creek-side environment bordered by open land and wildlife, so the reasonable expectation is a supervised dog, under control around livestock and native animals, and cleaned up after. Bring your own bedding and bowls until you know what is supplied.

Worth knowing

This is a quiet, nature-first property rather than a town-base stay: the appeal is space, creek walks and wildlife spotting, and it suits dogs that are happy off the pavement. The farmhouse is close to the Goolwa Animal Farm and Scott Conservation Park, and the Currency Creek wine region with its cellar doors is minutes up the road.

Getting there

Cliffside Road runs off the B37 between Currency Creek and Goolwa, roughly 15 minutes from Goolwa, 20 minutes from Victor Harbor and about 90 minutes from Adelaide. Parking is at the door, and the nearest full supermarket run is Goolwa or Strathalbyn.

While you're out there

Goolwa Beach allows dogs off-leash under effective control from May to November on most non-restricted sand, with summer leash windows near the main access ramps; watch for hooded plover nesting signs. Closer to the farm, Currency Creek Lions Park and the Waterfall Trail are an easy on-lead leg stretch. The Home of Plenty cellar door is nearby, and Wayfarers Cottage is a pet-friendly fallback in Goolwa.
