Nice spot in the high side of Gawler. A historic city with beautiful buildings and a lovely Reserve with walking track.

Eric Australia

Quilter studio Apartments welcomed us right from the start. When you enter the apartment the kitchenette was very cosy, When you walk into main living area. where the bedrooms and living area was amazing. What added to the atmosphere was on display all the handmade quilts made it warm and inviting. They provided a self service breakfast just to help start your Day off.

David Australia

A beautiful studio in a beautiful setting with a gorgeous garden. If you are a bookworm there are lots and lots of books to read as well. Mr.David and Mrs. Marilyn are the hosts and they are absolutely wonderful people. Very kind and helpful. I’m so happy I booked this place and it was pleasure meeting them. Definitely book again if i went that way and highly recommend.

Shelly Australia

this was a great place for what we needed the host was very friendly and accomodating thank you would love to stay when we are not working so we could have a look around what looked like a nice place .

Sue Australia

So quiet yet only a few blocks from the centre of town. Very friendly hosts. Very homely cottage.

Frederick Australia

We really enjoyed the five nights we spent in the Quilters Studio. The bed was very comfy, the kitchen well equipped with plentiful provisions to enjoy breakfast every morning. The fridge was full sized, the bathroom had more than enough products to ensure your needs were met. The garden outside was really attractive with birds visiting to seek food in the lawn. There were plenty of books to read and pamphlets about attractions around South Australia. It was really a home away from home. Parking our car was easy in the graveled area right outside the studio. We were kept warm and cozy with a very chilly wind blowing outside by the split system air conditioner. Cannot rate our stay highly enough.

Karen Australia

Owner is extremely friendly and will make sure your check in is smooth. Made me feel right at home! Very cute place, feels very homey. Lots of wooden book shelves filled with books and quilts. Nice backyard shared with main property if you want to sit outside or BBQ

Tom Australia

The owners greeted us and explained facilities/provisions. Breakfast supplies were generous and well appreciated. The location was great - close to Gawler main street. A great spot for a short break or longer stay.

Carole Australia

We enjoyed our stay at Quilters Studio. Very nice host and the Studio is big enough. Bed was comfy. Breakfast was good organised.

Roya Germany

Host was fantastic and had everything you needed. Central to everything and so peaceful. Would definitely stop here again

Quilters Studio Bed and Breakfast property is in the town of Gawler. The studio provides self-contained private accommodation. It has a generously large main room with adjoining kitchenette and a bathroom with a shower and toilet. It is also used for quilt making when it is not used by guests. Quilts feature in the decor. The studio opens out onto a wide terrace beneath a pergola supporting a canopy of glory vines. The vines are truly beautiful: shades of reds and orange leaves in autumn and green from spring though summer. Lovely to sit under and chat over a glass of wine, or to have an outdoor meal, perhaps a barbeque you have cooked yourself. Parking for 2 cars is free and on the property just by the private entry door.
We have traveled extensively in Australia and overseas and have a feel for what we like in accommodation. Especially we like a light touch and hope this approach also pleases you. We have special interests in quilts and quilt making, and have a circle of friends with similar interests. Another interest is the local history of Gawler and district - Gawler is South Australia's first country town and was established in 1839. Yet another interest is the technical side of diamond and gold exploration in Australia and overseas and associated travel opportunities.
This is a quiet residential location. A few minutes' drive to Gawler's restaurants, historic hotels, churches, picture theatre, swimming pool and horse racetrack. Close to bicycle paths leading to the Barossa Valley and to Adelaide. Close to the famous Barossa Valley and Clare Valley wine producing districts. Great wine tasting and dining experiences to be had at both. Take the children to the Whispering Wall. Try hot air ballooning.
