If you want to stay somewhere where you can leave the world behind and just....unwind, then this is the place to stay. We enjoyed everything that was on offer and explored parts of the Barossa we hadn't been to which was fun....and to see a kangaroo hop past whilst in the bathroom was a first! You simply must stay here!!

How can one improve on the "Best of the Best". We stayed 2 nights celebrating our 40th Wedding Anniversary and had the most amazing holiday experience ever. What with a fully stocked fridge and blazing log fire on arrival, a very comfortable bed and breakfast with friendly chickens out on the back verandah overlooking the little creek and amazing greenery,...

Absolutely lovely getaway in the Barossa. Completely leave everything behind in the middle of winter for roaring fires, romantic isolation, hot baths and delicious local food. This is not for the pampered 'four seasons' traveller but for those who want lovely rural romantic seclusion. Godfrey is the consummate discreet host and gives perfect Barossa advice for food/wine indulgence and local... More

We relied heavily on Tripadvisor when we booked the Miner's Cottage. It sounded like everything we wanted as we left Adelaide on our trip. But the whole experience was a bit surreal. We called for directions as our GPS was a bit confused. Godfrey said he was not there, but that everything was ready. We arrived and everything was prepped... More

We were so impressed with this place. A great location to explore wine country on bike or with a car and watch kangaroos in the wild! This is a very secluded getaway.

We love The Miners Cottage - it's quaint, beautiful and serene. We booked all 3 cottages and had the entire place to ourselves. Godfrey, the owner, went out of his way to make us feel really at home. The finer touches that he put in - chocolates, fruits, flowers... were really appreciated. If we were to visit Barossa again, we'll... More

This was our second stay at Miner's Cottage and it was as fabulous as the first. The cottage is quaint and perfectly located down a short, dirt road which adds to the seclusion. The finishing touches are what really makes this place - the stock of nuts and nutcracker out on the porch, selection of magazines and books in the... More

The Miner's Cottage was recommended by quite a few travel guides, and indeed, they were right. A sweet cottage, charmingly and tastefully decorated so you truly feel at home. The bath and toilets are adjacent to the cottage, just a couple of steps out, and intensify the sense of living in the country. Godfrey, the owner, who used to give... More
