Bedroom area at one end with full ensuite, lounge and fully equipped kitchen.

Relax on the comfy leather couches and wall mounted TV with Netflix which can be moved to view whilst in the hydromassage spa.

The building is on one side of our property with beautiful views to the east towards the Coorong and Lake Alexandrina.

Our horses are a few steps away and always welcome an apple or carrots and a pat.

Although we are only 7km from Mt Barker, where you will find all the main commercial outlets including KMart, Coles and Aldi, you will feel completely immersed in a rural setting with 180 degree views and large gum trees.
There is just the two of us on the property with our 4 dogs and 4 horses. I have been running accommodation properties since 2000.

There is separate access to the accommodation and parking directly beside the Tin Tabernacle.

The Tin Tabernacle is for the booking guests only - no additional visitors will be admitted to the property at any time.
