About this property

Bethany Reserve Cottage

Bethany Reserve Cottage at 313 Bethany Road near the town of Tanunda is part of the Barossa's authentic history. This is a beautifully restored Settler's Cottage with a sympathetic addition which retains the character and charm of the original home. Disability friendly throughout - inside and outside.

The cottage offers two spacious double bedrooms (one with additional single bed), large eat-in kitchen (full cooking/dining equipment) with traditional wood stove, flagstone floors and a comfortable lounge room with slow combustion stove, while the addition houses a modern bathroom, toilet and laundry. Quality linen is provided.

The cottage is surrounded by lawns, a rambling garden and ancient pepper trees. A gas BBQ is provided in the vine enclosed courtyard for outdoor entertaining.

This was a lovely property with charm and character. Perfect location, close to Tanunda and easy driving to the whole of the Barossa. It was quiet and secure. We’d definitely recommend staying here.

Gorgeous

What a gorgeous cottage. We absolutely enjoyed our time here. The quaint features made the stay so much more interesting. The beds and linen were so comfortable…we slept like babes. The gardens surrounding the property was beautiful and allowed for an afternoon picnic with the birds. The location is awesome with hiking, winery and exploring towns in close proximity.

Beautiful Cottage

Beautiful cottage in a great location. Very peaceful and the queen bed was especially comfortable. The kids loved the deep bath. The decorative curtains on the windows looked great but unfortunately didn't provide any protection against the light in either bedroom. The only other suggestion would be to have some comfortable chairs outside to enjoy the scenery.

Everything was good. Would have been handy to know about the tv issue before we got there. We may have taken an Apple TV with us had we known. Not the end of the world though.

Lovely quiet spot with easy access to everything

Not far from Tanunda or any of the Barossa towns. Lovely quiet road with bush and the Heysen Trail opposite, and lots of historic buildings to discover. Comfortable with more than enough space to find a quiet corner and read a book or finish a puzzle.

Tranquil getaway

Was a lovely stay at Bethany Cottage, the cottage looks small but can comfortably cater for a couple or a family of up to 5. I actually loved the fact that there was no wifi, it was the first time in a long while that I was able to really rest without the distractions of the internet. You just get drawn into admiring the historic character of the home and the surroundings. The owners have left some books of the history of the area, which we enjoyed reading in the evenings; you get a real feel for how such an iconic part of the state developed. The rooms are beautifully set out and spacious, with comfortable and fresh linen. It was cold when we stayed there, so the fireplace added much warmth to the evenings making the home feel cosy and secluded. The amenities were also excellent, and there is a nice picnic and BBQ spot right across from the home, which I think would be nice for families. Good price and well worth the stay, would definitely return and highly recommend.

Girls get away

The perfect place to kick off from each morning and to come back to for relaxing evenings. Close to everything we wanted, including Angaston where we took part in a cooking school, the wineries in the area, even had a game of mini golf at Tanunda. Great fun
