Couldn't wish for anything better
An absolutely amazing property, the hosts Jane and Julian are delightful. Excellent hosts as they are very knowledgeable, fun and friendly and you have everything there you could wish for, from luxury products in the room to amazing breakfasts and an honesty bar. What more is there to say! Would definitely recommend as the property looks exactly as you see it with the added touch or brilliant hosts.

Quaint and Comfortable
We loved the atmosphere of Abbotsford and it definitely felt like an escape. On the day of our visit the owners were away but we were still greeted and shown to our room. The suites are spacious and feel like home. There isn’t a TV as other reviews have mentioned but this didn’t bother us at all. The bathroom is a highlight with a luxurious spa bath - candles around the bath were a nice touch. We had an early departure and so missed the signature breakfast - be aware that this isn’t served until 8:30am. You can request a packed breakfast however apparently this needs to be requested 24hrs in advance, we requested the night before and never heard anything back. I do think that the involvement of the owners and their personal touch would make this an excellent stay. Inside the country house itself is a well-stocked book cupboard and ‘honesty bar’ as well as a gorgeous dog!

Hi Georgia, thank you for your review. Like our breakfast served in the dining room, our breakfast provisions for a packed breakfast are fresh and purchased on the early afternoon prior to your departure. It simply was not possible to provision one prior to your 7am departure given your evening arrival. We hope you enjoyed the upgrade we provided and look forward to your return.

Pooling in bathroom floor makes it dangerous and
Water from the shower pooled on central bathroom floor and makes it dangerous and messy. It is an accident waiting to happen. Otherwise excellent breakfast and most hospitable staff and comfortable bed. Price is expensive for what you get.
Response from Julian on Oct 25, 2017
Thank you for your review. The suite in question iseferred to as an accessible suite where it's designed for those with a disability. On your checkin, you would have been advised by myself or my wife that the ensuite has no hob for wheelchair access purposes. This means water from the very large shower can flow to the central drain in the ensuite. However, you would have also been alerted to the two large rubber mats plus the two cotton bath mats. These bath mats would have been replaced each day of your stay. We are glad you enjoyed our breakfast and hospitality. As far as our price is concerned, we prefer to rely on what the overwhelming number of reviews tell us about our value for money.

Great spot for visiting vineyards and relaxing
Julian and Jane are lovely hosts and we enjoyed chatting to them both. Felt very welcome and used the lounge in the main house for reading and relaxing where Julian provided a tray/plates/cutlery for our food and wine tastings. The property is set on a hill so wonderful views over the valley.

Perfect getaway in Barossa!
situated at the top of a hill, you are greeted by a beautiful country house. The room was beautifully appointed, felt like home the moment we walked in. the double shower is perfect for couple get away and had the best sleep in the comfortable bed. The home made breakfast each morning completes the whole experience at Barossa. Thank you Jane and Julian, Had an amazing time, this will be my choice of future stay.

Great Breaky with a View!!
Very comfortable and stylish B&B - two independent blocks of four suites - comfortable lounge/library in main house - not TV (good or bad!!) - fantastic breakfast cooked to order on long share table - perched on hill top with commanding view of vineyards and countryside - a good base to explore the Barrosa

A special place for an important occasion
Close to everything the Barossa can offer: wineries, restaurants, etc. and yet far enough to enjoy the peace and quietness of the surroundings … friendly service with a keen eye for details ... highly recommended

Everything a B&B should be
From the comfortable room to the spacious lounge and fine breakfast, this is all you want in a quality B&B. The hosts are helpful and engaging, rounding out a memorable trip to the Barossa.

Very overpriced
It would have been fine at half the price. For the money, I expect a lot more. The room was noisy because of fridge and boilers outside, pillows were uncomfortable and it would have been great to have some form of entertainment i.e. a pool or TV, even the setting was very relaxing and the breakfast delicious. The hosts seemed nice too and the place clean and well looked after.
