Shiraz Cottage - A Vineyard Retreat in Barossa Valley

We thoroughly enjoyed our time during our stay in the Shiraz Cottage. It was comfy, clean and perfect for an overnight stay. Would recommend to anyone travelling to the Barossa.

Everything that we needed. Great set up.

Winery onsite closed

Excellent position. Warm and comfy, quiet and private.

Needed hot plates. Also lounge could’ve been more comfy. Needed lights outside for stairs to entrance and to get keys from lockbox.

It was clean and clearly the facilities were relatively new.

Advertised as a “private” country cottage but it’s a one bedroom home under the roof of another “room” right next to a home, right next to the main estate - so far from “private”. You have to walk from the carpark infront of the front door of the conjoined room to get to the Shiraz cottage which made it a bit weird when the people next door checked in and we had to keep walking past their door and their bedroom. The carpark is at the top of stairs which lead to both the nearby home as well as the cottages which made it difficult to know where to go, and also difficult to bring luggage into the cottage. We ended up going around to the main residence by accident as it wasn’t clear… awkward. It looks relatively new - more like a motel room with an ensuite and a kitchen, although only a microwave and no other cooking facilities. The bathroom is lovely and modern with a washing machine, however only two towels and a bath mat - no face cloths. The instructions to the property were not clear. You have to drive PAST the address, up a short steep driveway and then straight ahead to the carpark, and then there are stairs and the two “Cottages” are the small building to the right. As you walk around the veranda, you have to go past the first door around the building before you see the sign for the Shiraz cottage. Really wasn’t what we expected.
