Beautiful setting
Excellent location, quiet and peaceful. Fabulous breakfast ingredients provided in a beautiful setting. Only issue is one cottage doesn’t have a toilet making for an interesting night time walk to the shared toilet.

Stunning property, great location
We had a wonderful couple of nights stay at the Miners Cottage, The Barn and Lavender Cottage. The accommodation is 5 star with lots of extras. The breakfast supplies were very impressive and the quality of the toiletries etc provided is top notch too. My (adult) children were delighted with the breadmaker - we had fresh baked bread each morning just like when they lived at home! The boys enjoyed cooking breakfast and dinner on the weber, it was like a home away from home. The location is stunning, we sat on the deck watching kangaroo, wallabies, lots of birds including gallahs and kookaburra. Would highly recommend and hope that we can return again sometime.

Relaxing and perfect weekend stay
We had a wedding up in the Barossa and this was the ideal place to relax and enjoy some family time. The cottages are perfect for couples and then the communal area is lovely to spend time together. The breakfast provisions were delicious and generous and the pool was very inviting with our warm weather. Highly recommend this for an awesome getaway. Its location is perfect and convenient for getting about.
