Cummins House is an important State heritage place in the South Australian Heritage Register. It is located in Novar Gardens in the western beachside suburbs of Adelaide and is one of South Australia's earliest extant buildings. It was the residence of South Australian pioneer and politician John Morphett, purpose-built for him and lived in by five generations of the Morphett family until sold to the State Government in the 1970s.

How to get there:
Limited On-Site carparking is available on-grounds, and plenty of free on-street carparking is available on Sheoak Avenue and surrounding streets.  Note: Cummins House has limited wheelchair accessibility. Public Transport is available via Bus 167 or 168 to Pine Avenue or Buses J8 or H20 along Morphett Road each with a walk to Sheoak Ave.
