Kullindi Homestead

Kullindi Homestead is a heritage-listed homestead established in 1880 on five private acres beside the Sussex Inlet waterway. A woodland drive through Booderee brings you to it; today it’s private group accommodation and an events venue, not a walk-in museum. Plan it around a booked stay or gathering, not a quick stop.

The point is having the homestead and grounds as a base for a group weekend or wedding. It suits visitors who want a private, rustic waterfront setting. The grounds are private, so arrange access through a booking or with the operator before driving in.

For guests, the gardened courtyard has two barbecues, gas-fired wok burners and cooking utensils. There’s no restaurant or prepared-food offer in the visitor information, so plan meals around a stay rather than a lunch stop. Walking trails extend from the property toward St Georges Basin; ask about access when arranging your visit, since the routes start from private grounds.

Kullindi was established by the family of Jacob Ellmoos, a Danish-born seaman and fisherman. In November 1880, Ellmoos crossed the Sussex Inlet bar on a fishing trip from near Cape St George Lighthouse and soon received a land grant in the area. That local story gives the private homestead a connection to the early European settlement of Sussex Inlet.
