About this property

Lorondale Homestead has been held in the same farming family since being built in 1904. This large rustic farm house sits in the middle of the farm with its nearest neighbour being over a kilometre away.

The homestead boasts large bedrooms and spacious living areas and comfortably sleeps 4 couples with maximum beds for 11. Some of the bedding configurations can be changed to suit your preference and pets are allowed by negotiation.

There are two large living rooms, one of which is set up as a dining room with seating for 12 and the other as a lounge room with couches and a sunny window seat. There is also a cosy library/sitting room with a wide selection of books to read and some of the family and farming history available.

Situated between the popular wine regions of Clare and Barossa Valley, and only an hour from Adelaide, the homestead is secluded enough for a relaxing stay and close enough for day visits to wineries or cycling trips.

Full bedding, linen, towels, bath mats and tea towels are provided for your stay.

Space to breathe

Generous farmhouse with space for a couple of families or one large one - we enjoyed the peaceful location and attractive character of this 100+ year-old property. Great stars at night as well!

Rural wine & food retreat with friends & family

Great central location to Clare Valley & Barossa Valley to move between and explore the food and winery options. Felt great at the end of the day to relax on the verandah looking over the fields with a glass of wine and platter of local goodies.

Weekend Getaway

The property is secluded, quiet and peaceful. Well organised and stocked with all amenities required for our group of 8. Inside the house was very clean, comfortable and cosy. We had a lovely couple of days.

About the host

Hosted by Diana

Lorondale Homestead was built for my great, great grandfather. The surrounding farm has been in my family since 1866 and is now being farmed by my brother and his son. I inherited the homestead in 2004 and lived there with my family until 2015. After renting it out for a while I decided, in 2020, it would be better to keep it as a tourism rental. Sharing it with others has been a great way for me to be able to continue to repair it and for Lorondale to retain its history.
