Stayed there September 2022. Still only $10.00 per person per night as a special deal for Heysen Trail walkers. Less than half the rate for everyone else.

The facilities are great! The staff are exceptional.

Beautiful place, huge! Also right next door to a wonderful winery, Tapanappa (meaning “sticking to the path” in Kaurna or Ngarindjerri languages).
When you get one or more (so it’s useful to carry a collapsible day-pack with you) bottles at the cellar door (open 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM 7 days a week), there’s a short walk to an unlocked gate and a road into the Woodhouse Scout Activity Centre (WSAC).

Short walk from WSAC to the Mt Lofty Botanic Gardens and from there, up to Mt Lofty summit and back. Easy with a light day pack.

In June 2019 asked if they did any deal for Heysen walkers. So long as I only used the base camp facilities, shower, toilets, shelter shed and did not use any of the adventure activities on the property got the night for $10. Arranged in advance through messenger.

Mapsheet 1: Cape Jervis to Kuitpo Forest (Sept 2014)

Occasionally, due to weather or maintenance issues, it is necessary to realign sections of the Heysen Trail. Minor reroutes, necessitated by such things as sand blowouts in coastal areas, protection of native vegetation, erosion control, or requests from landholders, are also frequently carried out.

Harvesting operations in Kuitpo Forest: ForestrySA operations in Kuitpo Forest will impact the Heysen Trail into the foreseeable future. Walkers in this forest may encounter closed plantation blocks as harvesting operations are undertaken. The presence of heavy machinery and falling trees makes it highly dangerous, and heavy trucks using the haul roads add to the risk. Walkers must not enter the harvesting areas under any circumstance (penalties apply). ForestrySA Rangers and Friends of the Heysen Trail volunteers will ensure that safe reroutes are in place and are clearly marked. Walkers should follow the marked reroute trail until the new track rejoins the Heysen Trail. Reroute signs will be placed at the start and finish of the reroute. From time to time, it will be necessary to reroute the Trail along public roads. Walkers are advised to take extra care on public roads, to always walk on the right, facing traffic and to always walk in single file.
