"A great place to stay to use as a base for the Barossa!"
We stayed here over Christmas and had a great time. The cottage is cute and cosy and the air conditioning worked really well (which was great as it was quite warm when we were there!). We really appreciated the Christmas tree that the owners put up for us! A great place to stay! - Jane Dec 2012
