What’s Available at Moira Gums?
Hi there,
If you have come to this page you are obviously curious about what you can expect if you decide to book a stay at our lovely Guest House.
Thank you for considering visiting Moira Gums. We try to provide as much information as possible so that our guests have good idea what to expect when they come to visit.
As we are a small town of only 180 people, we do not have the facilities you would expect in a larger town or city, but we believe this is part of our charm. Please be aware that shops may close earlier than you expect, especially in winter.
We thought that the following might be some useful information to help you plan your visit.
High Season
- Public Holidays & Long Weekends
- Spring Summer & Autumn School Holidays
- Large Public Events in the area
Low Season
- Non-holiday weekends
- Winter School Holidays (excluding Queens Birthday weekend)
- Prices Subject to change

14. The Broken Creek runs along the front boundary of the property over 100 metres through a gated paddock. It’s not very deep and is suitable for canoeing or fishing. Not sure it is deep enough to swim in but the dogs would enjoy it. The Moira Lake is located over the bridge in the National Park and people swim there (no dogs in the National Park). There are two swimming spots near the Barmah Bridge on the Murray River where people do swim one is just of the main street called “The Willows” and the other is a sandbar near the bridge.
