Jonathan Art Centre at Jarramarrumba House is a refreshingly creative escape, especially if you enjoy drawing or painting. There are Art Workshops, Painting Parties and weekend Art Breaks, and you can stay in cottage style accommodation in either the cabin or Jarramarrumba House. Feel free to roam, there are wonderful views to capture and inspire you. Enjoy some art tuition at the Gallery Studio and Cafe, where the food itself is a work of art. Delicious breakfasts lunches and gourmet dinners await, while you take the time to relax and reconnect with nature on this beautiful 40 acre property in the Adelaide Hills. Great for both novices and experienced painters. So pick up a brush and try a new technique or medium, and meet some interesting people along the way. You can bring your own materials or they can be supplied.
Local attractions include the stunning wall mounted murals in Nairne. Painted by local artists they depict the history of the first township to be founded in South Australia. Visit the Monarto Zoo for some inspiration - a 1,000 hectare open-range sanctuary for rare and endangered species. Try a little indulgence at Melba's Chocolate Factory in Woodside, or wander down through Jupiter Creek Gold Diggings Trail in nearby Echunga. Your stay includes free entry to the Cedars - the beautiful home of artist Hans Heysen in Hahndorf - just 15 minutes away.
You have the option of staying in The Cottage with its ensuite bathroom, shady veranda and lawn or in one of the twin or double rooms in Jarramarrumba House. Guests also have use of the lounge, dining room, terrace and 40 acre grounds. Enjoy delicious breakfasts, lunches and gourmet dinners including beer or wine.

Truly outstanding, memorable stay. We easily found Jarramarrumba House. Set in 45 acres the views are beautiful. It is a restful yet inspiring place. Liz and Richard were superb hosts - nothing was too much trouble. Our room was very comfortable indeed. We were even provided with robes and slippers. Food was innovative - simply delicious. Art tuition was relaxed and easy to follow and we produced pleasing results. All in all a memorable and great value for money stay. We hope to go back one day.
