About this property

A place to relax for up to 6 people

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 (outside of fire season) in the Stables, or go next door to the 2 storey Hayloft.

The grounds of the cottages are wonderfully peaceful, with a billabong, windmill, firepits, and even emus, geese, turkeys 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, a double hammock, 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. You will sense the history, as the complex was built for the original Herbig family, who lived in the famous tree, located just outside of Springton.

(Longer Term stays negotiable. No Smoking. Hypoallergenic dogs negotiable in Stables by prior arrangement only)

Nestled in a beautiful garden
We really enjoyed our stay at this comfortable BnB, especially the wood fire, and the spacious bedrooms and bathroom. We wanted somewhere quiet to chill out and catch up on our reading and this completely met our needs.

Brilliant
Just as described, unique well appointed exceptionally clean. Hosts were responsive and gracious and made sure our stay in the Barossa region as memorable. Unfortunately the pub on the corner has in the process of changing owners which made meal options the 1st night challenging. Highly recommended and would certainly stay again.

Was a great property for us to enjoy with our pup. Pitty about the weather as we couldn’t 100/ enjoy your beautiful gardens. ( something to look forward to next time ) The emu, turkeys, chickens and birds were a real treat. Great local store, and pub, with good food and really helpful locals. Markets and lots to see and do in the local area. Returning to a quiet, relaxing accommodation at the end of the day, ready to light the fire. I am on a walking frame and also found the property disability friendly for me. Which was another plus, with only having to move 1 chair slightly I was able to get around indoors easily.

Short stay at The Stables
Lovely property. We enjoyed the charm of the property and its surrounds, and appreciated all of the amenities offered. The property is kept cleaned, well -stocked with all the necessities and the beds, couches etc all comfortable and well kept. The owners are very conscientious with attention to detail; there is clearly a lot of pride taken with their property and the service they provide. We definitely enjoyed our stay at The Stables and would recommend the property to anyone wanting to stay and explore Springton and the surrounding areas.

We had a very relaxing weekend at The Stables. I was super impressed with how lovely all the linen smelt. Both beds were made very well and were very comfy. My daughters had some laughs hopping in the boat. Definitely recommended ☺️
