    The freezer in the bar fridge didn’t keep food frozen.

    Located within walking distance of all facilities and yet no traffic noise. Sitting in the private courtyard for breakfast was lovely. This lovely studio was well presented with a comfortable bed, relaxing spa, a kitchenette & ample provisions for cooked &/or continental breakfast.

    There was nothing we didn't like about our stay.

    The location was ideal. It was quiet, but one street back from the main road and a short walk to everything - restaurants, bakery, doughnut shop, bars etc. The house was beautifully kept. It is an older style, but so pleasant. There was also a nice courtyard so you can eat outside accompanied by the coo-ing of the doves. And I cannot say enough about the breakfast supplies, generous, delicious with lots of choice. And having a spa bath after spending a day walking and visiting wineries was lovely as well. Check in was straight forward and when we had a little problem with the TV, the host phoned back almost immediately and solved the problem. He was very pleasant and helpful.

    Great base to explore Tanunda and the Barossa Valley. Spent three days here and it felt like home. Had everything we needed and lots of extra touches which were appreciated. Very generous supplies for a cooked or continental breakfast, and complimentary chocolates and port on the table. Also had access to the laundry.

    We were a group of 4 adults and it was very cosy and comfortable. Having kitchen facilities with all utensils etc required allowed us to easily self cater. The breakfast provisions were generous and perfectly suited to our needs. Towels were fluffy :) Being able to use the wood fire was a highlight. Having one toilet in the single bathroom between us proved interesting but we were aware of this at the time of booking. We had to take care on the stairs so put our older parents in the down stairs bedroom just in case! Overall great facilities and very comfortable stay. Walking distance to the Tanunda Main Street was a big bonus.
