1890 2 STOREY HAYLOFT - BAROSSA HILLS COTTAGES

The Hayloft and Stables are our holiday homes that we enjoy so much, and from May 2021, we wanted to 'share' with others. The converted hayloft is a romantic getaway for a couple , with a single sofa bed located downstairs in the common area if required. (Max 3 people). Upstairs in the Parisienne bedroom, with ceiling fan & split system aircon, there is a beautiful view over the courtyard and ponds. (We also have Chromecast for your streaming) The beauty of The Hayloft is knowing that the Stables cottage is also on the property, should you need extra accommodation for family or friends. Whether you are visiting the Barossa, the Murray River, the Hills, or you just want a relaxing time away from the hustle and bustle, our cottages, built in the 1890s are for you. Cuddle up in front of the lovely wood fire in the Stables, or go upstairs in the Hayloft. The grounds of the cottages are wonderfully peaceful, with a billabong, windmill, firepits, and even emus, geese and chooks looking through the fence. To get to the 'secret' cottages, you drive down a hidden driveway, park your car, and then enter the cottages, located on around 1 acre of land. There are ponds, and even a boat to relax on, in the billabong. Walk to the general store, pub, or cellar door, or hop in the car for a short ride to all the Barossa attractions, the National Motor Museum, the Murray River at Mannum, the Mt Pleasant Farmers Markets, Mt Crawford forest hikes, and much much more.
