Calling all cyclists

April 11, 2010

As keen cyclists, Kathy and Tony Linkson realised the need for a bike-friendly place to stay. Their Semaphore Beach House offers secure storage for bikes and help with planning your South Australian cycling holiday.

They’ll arrange transport for you and your bike to and from the airport and to and from trail heads, show you how to find the many scenic trails and the quiet country roads ideal for cycling.

Our photo shows Kathy and Tony on the road to Point Pass, which in its heyday was full of saddlers, blacksmiths, carpenters, a cheese and butter factory, upholsterers and even a watchmaker. 

All Point Pass historic buildings still stand today and the hotel, first opened in 1876 has the original stone stables with walls two feet thick. Between Eudunda and Point Pass are the striking Lutheran Church with its gold domed roof and the graceful old Lutheran Boarding College with all rooms fitted out with antiques, each with its own theme.
