The Cottage is a lovingly restored 1860s heritage retreat in Tanunda, where timeless charm meets slow living in the heart of the Barossa.

From the moment you arrive, there’s something about The Cottage that just feels right. Maybe it’s the warm ironstone walls whispering stories from another era, or the beautifully curated interiors that blend classic comfort with modern ease.

It offers you a place to unwind, recharge, and soak in the very best of the Barossa.

Originally one of the earliest homes in the region, The Cottage was purchased in 2023 and brought back to life over an 18-month restoration by a passionate local couple. With Ryan leading the charge as an electrician and all-round handy man, and every decision—from the landscaping to the linens—made by hand and heart, this space is as authentic as it is beautiful.

Step inside and you’ll find a space designed to make you feel completely at ease. Light-filled bedrooms, a cozy lounge with a crackling fire, and thoughtful touches everywhere you look.

The lower bedroom’s original stone wall and overhead skylight are pure magic. There’s an indoor spa bath for total relaxation, or head outside to the private deck where a heated spa and outdoor dining area invite long nights under the stars.

The Cottage sleeps up to six and is perfect for couples, small families or friends wanting a peaceful, design-forward base just 1km from Tanunda’s main street.

You’re minutes from top wineries, local food, and Barossa charm—but tucked away in your own little world.

With future plans to expand and collaborate with even more local makers, The Cottage isn’t just a beautiful place to stay, it’s the start of something special.

Come and see what slow luxury in the Barossa really feels like.
