An incredibly comfortable cottage - the perfect size for us (2 adults) travelling with our 16 year old daughter. Had everything we could possibly need and is also walking distance to Bethany Estate, which has excellent wine and spectacular views!

Beautiful and relaxing

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.

Absolutely perfect

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.
Response from VrboOwner on 23 Mar 2020
Thank you for your kind words about Bethany Reserve Cottage. The preserved front section dates back to the 1840's and can lay claim to being amongst the oldest cottages in the Barossa Valley. The previous owners managed a sympathetic modern addition. We love it and very glad you did too!

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful stay at this cottage. The highlight was walking up in the mornings to the magnificent dawn chorus from the garden and Bethany Reserve. Can't wait to go back. Thank You
