We had an amazing time at the off grid farm house and the beautiful house was so pleasant to stay. Also the view was amazing! 10/10 loved it!Would definately stay again
Went away with my wife and the house and views around the property are beautiful. Nice and quiet can’t hear any industrial noise. So relaxing and peaceful
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!
Beautiful peaceful location, surrounded by rolling hills and great views. We really enjoyed the huge indoor fireplace and outdoor fire pit - a great way to relax and unwind.
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.
We had such a wonderful experience here, beautiful house and view, loved the animals. Very cold, it was hard to warm up the house with the wet firewood but otherwise the perfect place to stay!!
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.
We absolutely loved our stay. My husband stayed there the night before our wedding in the hills with his groomsmen and the boys had an absolute ball. The views are amazing and the house has everything you need. Wonderful owners who were very accomodating as well. Would love to stay here again.
