With its award wining guest houses, motels and superb restaurants, Gunning is a great base for visits to Canberra or for a romantic weekend getaway. With a history dating back to the days of the explorers, Hume and Hovell, you can discover the fine historic buildings, including Pye Cottage, or enjoy the scenic countryside.
