Had a great stay. Cottage was great for our needs and located close to town centre. Very welcoming. Only downside was limited TV channels (no sport) in the evenings and no WiFi.

Charming old cottage on Main Street
Very comfortable cottage with an interesting history dating back to the 1860’s. You can go up and down in life simply by walking around in the house - no 2 floors are at the same level.

Mumcation
Beautifully set up property. Lots of reminders of our childhood. A little noisy on the main street and stuffy without fresh air. Great communication from hosts prior and during stay but nothing about some feedback we sent or something that didn't work.

Great Stay at Johann's Cottage
This is a lovely cottage - in the main street of Tanunda, only a few hundred metres from the Tanunda Hotel. I stayed there for two nights with a friend and the hosts, Mark and Tanya, provided lots of extra 'goodies' to make the stay more enjoyable. Lots of historical memorabilia and superbly outfitted and decorated. A real 'step back in time'. We rated it 10/10.

A quaint historical cottage in the heart of Tanunda
A historic well set up cottage with lots of memorabilia. Short walk to anywhere in Tanunda including the fabulous FermentAsian. A great base to explore all the Barossa has to offer. Be sure to go into APEX bakery another living historic site. Ask nicely and the team will let you in to see the original oven form 1924!! And the bread is amazing!!

Great location
This was a comfortable and well-located accommodation. In the main street of Tanunda it was easy get to cafes and restaurants and good shopping - especially loved the Iron Cottage. The owners set us up with very welcoming complimentary goodies, biscuits, chocolate, wine, cereals and bread. Very thoughtful. Everything you needed was on site. Sleep was comfortable.

A beautifully appointed 1800's cottage featuring memorabilia from a past time. Great location in the heart of the Barossa , walking distance to the township of Tanunda, topped off by a generous "Welcome Pack" upon arrival. You will not be disappointed.

Base to explore Barossa
Having a connection to the wine business back home in Canada, we were quite interested In experiencing what Australia has to offer. Johann's Cottage turned out to be ideally located to explore the Barossa and neighbouring wine regions from. The unit has an odd layout of interconnected rooms, but that gives it a certain charm. The decor is quite eclectic and there are lots of books including some on local history and on Australian wine. And the hosts made sure it was prestocked with necessities and treats. The only issue we had was that the kitchen space was small for someone who likes to cook.
