Beautiful peaceful location and stunning accommodation with so many special touches.
Spa was Amazing. Bathroom is tiny, and chlorine smell from spa can be a bit strong, but overall many more special touches to out weight this. Highly recommended.
Lisa is the perfect host and her property a wonderful place to stay. Surrounded by gum trees, so quiet, and yet close to all the attractions of the Adelaide Hills
We spent 3 nights in this beautiful modern 'tabernacle'. With its high ceiling and open plan, and the bed screened off from the living area, it felt spacious and airy. The facilities were excellent and we were able to relax completely. It was lovely to sit outside with horses only a few metres away in their enclosure. We also walked in the beautiful bush at Mt Barker Summit, and spent several hours at Laratinga Wetlands, only a few minutes' drive away. Lisa was an excellent host, very friendly and quick to respond to any questions. Thanks very much, Lisa.
A great place for 2. Such a well designed space, the amount of thought going into the experience was obvious, making it very comfortable. We stayed in both nights rather going out to a restaurant as we wanted to be in the space for longer... definitely recommend it.
Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Wonderful property, spectacular build and we loved the quiet, if you wish to get away from it all this is the place. Lovely touches provided by the owners and would love to get back there.
