Aldgate Pump Hotel

Information on Aldgate,

Nestled just twenty minutes southeast of Adelaide city, Aldgate is a charming leafy village in the heart of the Adelaide Hills. The town developed around the famous Aldgate Pump Hotel, established in 1864 by Richard D. Hawkins, where a water pump became a popular watering spot for horses and bullock teams traveling to the Echunga goldfields.

Today, visitors can enjoy stylish eateries like FRED Eatery showcasing local produce, historic Stangate House with its internationally recognized camellia gardens, and beautiful bed and breakfast properties. The village retains its country atmosphere with heritage buildings, specialty shops, and autumn foliage.
