Gorgeous

What a gorgeous cottage. We absolutely enjoyed our time here. The quaint features made the stay so much more interesting. The beds and linen were so comfortable…we slept like babes. The gardens surrounding the property was beautiful and allowed for an afternoon picnic with the birds. The location is awesome with hiking, winery and exploring towns in close proximity.

Such a beautiful place to stay! Peaceful and quiet and a great get away for a relaxing time away. Close to the main street of tunanda but also far enough away from it too to avoid business.

quiet, historic cottage

The generosity of the space in the cottage and grounds was very much appreciated after being on the road in sometimes cramped lodgings. The open fire was wonderful on the cold nights we were there.

Bethany cottage is he best place we have ever stayed and is great value for money. It is the perfect place from which to explore the barossa. Staying in this gorgeously preserved and updated cottage makes one connect with the history of the region.

Consider Bethany when in Barossa

A very peaceful stay at Bethany Reserve Cottage on the fringe of Tanunda. Bethany Road has its own historic walk and Bethany Wines is worth the visit for both the wine and the views. The cottage is the perfect place to rest after a day of food and wine.

Beautiful Cottage

Beautiful cottage in a great location. Very peaceful and the queen bed was especially comfortable. The kids loved the deep bath. The decorative curtains on the windows looked great but unfortunately didn't provide any protection against the light in either bedroom. The only other suggestion would be to have some comfortable chairs outside to enjoy the scenery.
