Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was lovely, set on a treed hilltop and close to major wineries, but the rooms felt like stepping back into the 1960s with outdated decor and some maintenance issues. The service was friendly, yet the lack of reception assistance during noisy nights was disappointing. The dining was stated to be good, but there were some let-downs with closures and options. Overall, a mixed experience.
The hotel rooms need a makeover but are overall very comfortable with access to gardens via the back porch and balconies overlooking the garden. The service was a bit slow initially but the staff ended up being friendly and welcoming, ensuring cleanliness and comfort are top-notch. The location is slightly out of the bustling Barossa, central to wineries, with a large rose garden enhancing the ambiance. Dining was satisfactory but could use more variety. Facilities are sufficient for a pleasant stay.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms are spacious, light, and airy with a nice view, despite needing some renovation and new bedding. The service was welcoming and friendly, and the location was central to many wineries surrounded by a beautiful rose garden. The dining experience could have offered more options, but overall, it was a nice place to stay.
