About this property

The Pool House with seperate Spa

Nestled into the side of Mt Barker Summit on a 12 acre property, our fully self contained, stand alone, hexagonal Pool House is ready for you to enjoy.

A great getaway in summer or winter:
•Seperate bedroom with King size bed and en-suite - all linen provided
•Full kitchen with oven and Nespresso coffee machine
•Washing machine and dryer
•Private covered deck with 2 person spa and BBQ.
•The Pool is used only by guests (solar heated November to April). The spa is at a constant 38 degrees year round.
•Smart TV with Netflix etc as well as Blu-ray and over 60 DVD's

Located opposite our main house, the Pool House has 180 degree views over the valley to the east and view of the Mt Barker Summit indigenous bushland to the west. Explore several regions of South Australia from one base:
•Fleurieu Peninsula - 1 hour
•Wine regions Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale - 1 hour
•Adelaide city - 35 minutes
•Adelaide Hills wineries and distilleries all a short drive locally
•Monarto Safari Park - 30 minutes
•Hahndorf - 15 minutes
•Mount Barker - 10 minutes

Your stay will have a minimum impact on the environment with solar power on site.

Our house is opposite the Pool House separated by the deck and swimming pool. There is just the two of us with our 5 dogs and 5 horses. I have been running accommodation properties since 2000.

There is separate access to the accommodation and parking directly beside the Pool House.

Your privacy is important to us - so is ours! We have non transparent blinds on the house so we can’t see you and you can’t see us.

The Pool House is for the booking guests only - no additional visitors will be admitted to the property at any time. Take a look at The Tin Tabernacle, also located on this property.

Was an absolute delight to get away from the city for a weekend and spend some time out in the sun and fresh air by the pool! Property was immaculate and Lisa, the host was a delight to deal with and stop for a chat. Very helpful with any questions we had and plenty of privacy also. Would highly recommend for a comfortable get away, and proper relaxation. 5 stars.Thanks Lisa!

Lovely peaceful setting. Clean and well appointed.

Fantastic place to get away from it all. Clean, spacious, modern, well appointed and private. Just what we needed as we haven’t spent any time away from our kids for about 3 years, so it was way overdue. We were lucky to also have perfect weather for spending time in the beautiful pool. Very very relaxing indeed. One of the nicest places that we’ve had the pleasure of staying at. Thanks Lisa!

Fantastic!

What a beautiful property this is! It is in a lovely location and the owner has taken fantastic care to provide every little comfort: coffee pods, basic food stuffs, and just an all-round beautifully presented property. Would highly recommend the Pool House to anyone looking to stay in Mt Barker and would certainly stay there again, should we ever venture back from WA. PS bonus points for the two gorgeous grey horses that live on this property and who were more than happy for us to fuss over them ❤️

Amazing One Year Anniversary

This location was absolutely perfect for my partner and I's 1 Year anniversary. Amazing hills and landscape to wake up to and having all the creature comforts with an amazing breakfast supplied. We were loving the bed as it was extremely comfortable to sleep on. This place was perfect for us and gave us peace of mind when having a relaxing weekend and visiting Howard Vineyard near by. So nice as well seeing the horses in the paddock. We really enjoyed our stay here and would love to come back in the summer time. Thanks Lisa for the welcome and everything orgnaised for our stay, was a great experience.

Country feel with surburbia facilities.

It was a excellent weekend. We were able to utilise all the facilities offered , including the pool and spa. The games and Netflix added to the enjoyment of our downtime. Privacy wasn’t a problem even with the owners dwelling so close by, as they had block out blinds for everyone’s privacy. The tranquility and wildlife gave you the impression of being in the bush, yet the township is under 10min away. Would highly recommend this place to everyone, either for a weekend stay or longer.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Kirkland

Host profile image
The Pool House was originally built to accommodated family and friends from interstate however after selling my bed and breakfast in Hahndorf, I decided to open our property to guests.

Why they chose this property

Our property is quiet and feels remote however is very close to all the attractions the Adelaide Hills have to offer as well as being a short distance away from the commercial hubs of Mt Barker and Hahndorf.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful views, big red gums, wildlife, horses and peace and quiet.
