My large family and I had a wonderful stay at the Country Bakehouse. Carol gives an amazing level of service and was very helpful and accommodating. It was toasty warm with heaters, lovely bedrooms and loungeroom. So many sweet little decorations and games that made our stay special. Plus I was in the bedroom with a sitting room which I loved. It was also very clean and breakfast items were provided. Will definitely stay again when we are back in Spalding.

Cassandra Australia

Location was quiet. Plenty of room inside the premises. Beds were beautifully made. There were games and dvds for children, plenty of books to read. Bedrooms were very large. The owner Carol came and gave us a cheese, fruit, sourdough bread and apricot conserve. Yummy that lasted a couple if days. Carol is a very friendly person.

    Thank you for your request, 2 bedrooms are available in the residence. Guests usually book 2 bedrooms if they require 2 beds. You have booked 1 bedroom but because you are staying 4 nights I am happy to make up the 2 beds for you at no extra cost.

Being a former Bakery, our historic century old shop & residence is unique & interesting. We provide affordable accommodation blending antique & modern furnishings for your comfort. You will enjoy a relaxed stay with complete privacy.
Purchased the former Baker's shop & residence in 2008 & began renovations. After 50 years with the Education Dept. of SA I decided to retire from classroom teaching & concentrate on my newly renovated B&B & move into hospitality.
I would like to tell you something about our neighbourhood. We are a small Country town with families & retirees living in town & farming properties surrounding which grow grains, wheat oats, & barley, hay & canola. Farmers keep sheep for wool marketing & meat & also there are stud cattle properties. Spalding has great Sporting facilities, a beautiful oval, new Sports complex & a park with BBQ facilities & playground for the children. many travellers stop off at the park for a picnic & the local shop serves a good coffee. Our Post Office has a great array of giftware. Spalding Primary school supports children from Reception to Yr. 6. The school grounds are exceptionally well kept. It is a great school for children to begin their education. Spalding is situated between rivers to the east, west & north which all run towards the River Broughton. The River Broughton is stocked with trout & we have a catch & release fishing permit included with your accommodation. The Heysen & Mawson trails meet at Spalding so many walkers on the Heysen like to enjoy a stay at Country bakehouse accommodation. The Barbed Wire Hotel is also in the main street & meals are available Thurs. to Sun. The local grocery shop serves lunches & coffee, & is open for fuel also 8,0 am - 5.0pm. We are situated central to Clare, Jamestown & the historic town of Burra so we can offer some great day trips site seeing & many restaurants and wineries are available for meals just a 25 minute drive away.
