Wow!!! These cottages were exactly what we had been looking for, from the setting around the lake, the spa, the amazing produce in the fridge and pantry and the kindness and hospitality from Tina and Evan. My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer but we will definitely be back! Thank you

We had an amazing stay at Stonewell Cottages, the location and cottage itself was amazing. Communication with Tina regarding how to get to the cottage and if there was anything we would like during our stay was great. She made everything run very smoothly and the whole trip was taken care of before we even arrived. The cottage was clean, welcoming and well provisioned. The view from the cottage is great and we really enjoyed having the firepit outside and the log burner inside. The provisions in the cottage were fantastic, we really enjoyed sampling the local produce on offer. The breakfast package and snacks were both delicious, with a great selection of local wines available in the cottage as well. I wanted to propose to my Girlfriend, Tina was able able to help me when I was looking for the perfect area to do it. We loved our stay and Stonewell will always be a special place for us! We are looking forward to our next stay. Thank you

Superb. One word. Just totally peaceful and so relaxing. Located in the middle of a vineyard. We were made to feel very 'at home'. Lots of high quality delicious food provided to us on our package and an in-house massage. Walks around the dam, breakfast provided for us and a separate brekkie package for the ducks... too cute! We hope to be back in the cooler weather to take advantage of the wood burning fire inside and the enticing fire pit outside. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

A beautiful place to stay for a restful break in the Barossa Valley. The host was very attentive and there were lots of provisions left for us for breakfasts. Highly recommended.

My husband and I stayed at the Hideaway Cottage for 4 nights on our first trip to the Barossa Valley. And we are so glad we did! What a wonderful cottage to call home while you explore the region. Nothing is far away but the location is so peaceful and beautiful. And the provisions were beyond all expectations! After one night, my husband said "We have to make this an annual retreat". I certainly hope we can. I left some things behind and Tina was very quick to contact me and ensure they were returned.

This is our second time staying at the Cottages and it definitely won’t be our last. This is such a homely stay with thoughtful touches and local products. We couldn’t recommend a stay at Stonewell Cottages more.

We had a lovely time at Stonewell - the brekky hamper was fabulous and it was really interesting going out into the vines with Evan - you can see that vintage is just around the corner! I only wish we could have stayed longer.

What a beautiful and tranquil space for our first relaxing holiday in the Barossa. But...... that is not all. Tina and her team had absolutely everything planned for us. we visited the best wineries, art spaces and local experiences that we don't have anywhere else. How about massage at our accommodation after a long day that included lunch at The Eatery. absolutely amazing creation by Maggie Beer. We can't thank you enough for allowing us to see and taste the best of the region We look forward to do it all again soon with some of our close friends

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Haven Spa Cottage. The outlook was lovely, the cottage was warm and comfortable with great amenities and very clean and tidy. The food provisions were exceptional with an amazing array of local produce. We will definitely tell our friends and family and hope to be back in the not too distant future.

Very happy with our stay. Two couples in Hideaway Cottage. We had the BBQ packs for dinner on the first night, and very good. The cottage is very cosy and we enjoyed using the fire on both evenings. The extras supplied are very generous indeed and kitchen very well equipped. All in all we were very happy with our stay. David & Pam
