Beautiful location

Booked here for my wife's 30th birthday for a weekend away. Host was kind enough to let me have family visit to celebrate her birthday. Such a fantastic place with great scenery around. Was kept cosy and warm with the fireplace in the living area. We all had a great time here and would definitely recommend to everyone!

A stunning home. Really felt like you could immerse yourself in with the countryside. Lovely to hear the kookaburra's and watch the surrounding animals graze. First class facilities. No issues finding the residence. Good directions and felt like home away from home. We all enjoyed our stay.

The house and views were awesome. I think we picked the coldest, and wettest weekend ever, so we didn't get to enjoy the outdoors as much as we would have liked. The living area was still cold even with the fire going, but like i said, we had a very cold and wet weekend. A very lovely and clean house and a lovely stay.

What a hidden gem!

Bella Vista at Mt Torrens was gorgeous – incredibly spacious, beautifully styled, and so well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It had such a peaceful vibe, and the views were just breathtaking. I’m already planning to come back in winter – I can just imagine sipping fantastic Hills wines by the spectacular fireplace. Can’t wait!

Weekend away

The views from this property are stunning. The weather was perfect, we were able to sit back and relax in front of the outdoor firepit, with a glass of wine. The neighbouring cows were very cute and friendly. This was a great way to enjoy my 50th birthday.

Country serenity

Nice peaceful setting, great house for 3 couples. Good fire place with wood supplied for colder weather, however with the house being off grid there are restrictions on the use of the air conditioner which could be .Handy central location, easy drive to Barossa area, Hahndorf & McLaren Vale.Lovely peaceful setting and with 3 bed & 3 bath, was great for 3 couples.Well appointed kitchen. Fireplace with wood supplied.Only downside was no BBQ.
