About this property
The Barn - a little bit rustic, a little bit luxe
The Barn is where the past meets the present in a blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. The thick stone walls and exposed timber beams have stood for over a century and tell a tale of history and heritage from the original Barossan settlers.
Relax in luxe comfort between crisp white cotton sheets and French linen pillowcases/duvet on the super-sized king bed. Light the candles for a romantic evening and feel like a world away from modern life. Wake up to rural views from your private north-facing deck, a perfect spot to unwind and recharge. For your modern needs, be entertained with the smart TV with Chromecast and portable wifi Ultimate Ears Bluetooth speaker. A Nespresso Vertuo coffee machine is provided with a selection of pod coffees alongside teas including herbals.
Your private lockable contemporary bathroom with a separate lockable toilet (and a ‘dunny' view) is a short walk away. Bathrobes are provided. You may not be in a tent but you will enjoy the nuances of glamping as you look up at the stars and feel the magic from the sparkling universe above.
Opposite The Barn, you'll find the Pug Lounge that offers a comfortable covered space to have a BBQ, to lounge and enjoy the atmosphere. You will have access to a Weber gas BBQ, . Additionally, The Barn itself has its own kitchenette equipped with a fridge, microwave, kettle, air fryer and crockery. The Barn does not have plumbed water but a 2-litre ceramic water filter vessel is provided for drinking water that filters out bacteria, contaminants and fluoride.
Whether you're here to unwind , explore or create special memories, the Barn has been a unique location for many of our past guests. We have hosted numerous proposals, engagements, honeymoon and anniversary celebrations for couples who have chosen The Barn to create special memories that last a lifetime.
Whilst it may not suit everyone - especially those who require the comforts of an ensuite bathroom at night - if you think you can enjoy this unique experience, we warmly you to Pondicherri and The Barn.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Carolyn Herkes
I love to travel but not enough. I love to cook and share my table with family and friends. I love the smell of a newly picked lemon and fresh bunches of herbs. I love my little animals and the flocks of different birds that play and swoon across Pondicherri. I’m social and then sometimes, I’m a bit reclusive. I love the stillness and promise of a dawning sunrise more than the peace and surrender of a sunset, but both are spectacular, and I’m blessed to experience and appreciate it often. I’m grateful for living in a place that affords peace and privacy. And I enjoy meeting people!
Why they chose this property
Set on 5 acres, Pondicherri is a small acreage landholding with a cluster of small buildings and exudes a rustic village atmosphere. Its borrowed rural amenity and views are enabled as it is surrounded by much larger farming land creating a quiet private oasis yet close to everything within the Barossa Valley. Some of the buildings are of historic interest and date back to 1845.
What makes this property unique
We are only 5 minutes drive to the pretty historic village of Angaston that is well serviced with a varied selection of cafes, restaurants, 2 pubs, a supermarket, butcher, hardware, medical centre, post office and houses specialty Barossa food businesses. We are a 5-minute drive from the famed Barossa Valley Farmers Market that is open every Saturday morning. There are many high-quality wineries, restaurants, food establishments, and historic buildings to explore across the region. If food and wine are not your things, there are numerous walking and cycling trails, some easy bushwalks including spotting kangaroos at Kaisersthul Conservation Park. Or you could go ballooning or go for a helicopter ride for the bird's eye view! Just about everything except surfing! But we are about one hour's drive to the nearest South Australian coastline, only one hour drive into the city of Adelaide and a one hour drive to the Adelaide Hills area. There is so much to do and explore in this beautiful part of Australia. Welcome to Pondicherri Village and The Barn - a little bit rustic, a little bit luxe, and a whole lot of soul comfort.
