Cottage, Bed & Breakfast, Self-contained apartment

Stonewell Cottages, a boutique waterfront vineyard retreat offers peace and privacy, seclusion and space in the heart of the Barossa, just 60 minutes from Adelaide. Enjoy serene water views, still tranquil evenings and sunning vineyard sunsets. The three waterfront vineyard cottages feature cosy wood fires, comfy king beds and luxury candlelit spas.

The Haven Spa Retreats, the Hideaway Cottage and Cupid's Cottage are hidden away amongst the vines of Stonewell Vineyards, our 103 acre (42ha) vineyard property, overlooking a picturesque, private lake. Just a short drive from Tanunda, it is a tranquil world away from stress and hectic schedules, the ideal place to escape and rejuvenate.

Sleep amid the vines, wake up to a long, lazy breakfast to the serenade of the birds. Unwind in your candlelit spa, de-stress with an indulgent in-room massage. Feed the friendly ducks, take a row to the island gazebo, throw in a fishing line, enjoy a picnic in the summer house, or take a bike ride along the vine lined country roads. Dine alfresco in your private garden courtyard with a gourmet regional food platter delivered to your cottage. Sip a wine made from the vines surrounding your cottage and watch the sunset over the water. Barossa's best is on your doorstep with nearby historic wineries, boutique cellar doors, gourmet stores and restaurants, awaiting your discovery.
