We stayed in Cupid's cottage for 2 nights and it definitely deserves all the exceptional reviews it receives. Great communication from our host, Tina, before we arrived and during our stay. Beautiful serene location with plenty of bird life, we were even provided with food for the very friendly ducks. The cottage is beautifully appointed with everything you need to relax in front of the fire with a lovely glass of local wine. Plentiful provisions for a "cook your own breakfast", with added little delicious goodies such as a bottle of wine, cheese, port and biscuits. Unfortunately the Barossa Valley were in the midst of a terrible drought and so water levels were well down. For this reason we also didn't use the lovely spa. We pray they'll get some rain soon. We can't wait to return to Cupid's cottage and see it in all its glory - this time ensuring we stay longer. A true hidden gem.

The property was fantastic. Right from the pre-arrival info, we were well informed of everything we needed to know for a great two night stay. When we arrived, the cottage was clean and tidy and very well stocked with breakfast provisions, local produce, items for a cheese plate and a welcome bottle of wine. The kitchen was well equiped and it even had a washing machine. The bed and pillows were super plush, and the spa bath with bath salts and candles was a lovely way to relax. The view was stunning and the added container of "breakfast for the ducks" made us smile. It was nice to see local kangaroos amongst the vineyards and hot air balloons soaring above as we woke up. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to going back in winter when we can utilise the indoor wood heater and the fire pit outside. Thanks to Tina for checking in on us during our stay and making it a memorable experience.

Everything about the property was amazing. The town taxi service not so great. The accommodation is only 3.5kms from the town so it is possible to walk if needed.

Cupid’s Cottage was divine. The most gorgeous set up on a private lake with your own little rowboat set the scene for a truly beautiful weekend. The cottage itself has everything you could possibly want/need and is spotlessly clean! The bed was super comfortable and the spa bath was the best with an abundance of candles supplied along with loccitane toiletries. Tina has thought of everything with all the little extra touches. This truly took our stay to the next level including an abundance of local produce for breakfast provisions, snacks, wines, chocolates and a cheese board all included in the price! We had the best weekend here and cannot wait to return. Highly recommend ♥️

Absolutely nothing

The Cottage was easily and centrally located in the vineyards and places we wanted to visit. The cottage was impeccably clean and stocked with every comfort we could hope for. A wonderful selection of wines available, with a gift bottle to enjoy - which we did with the cheese and olives provided! Delicious port and treats to enjoy. The breakfast offering was fantastic with range to cover cooked breakfast or continental tastes. Kitchen had everything you could need. Candles around the spa bath, firewood for a warm and inviting fire. Thank you for executing your thoughtfulness so well - fabulous stay! Hope to return!

If I could give this place 20/10 I would. The photos don’t do it justice. It is so very cute and comfortable. The hostess provides a six star experience by all the little touches, a fire that is set for you when you arrive, wine and cheese board, breakfast supplies, nice soaps. All the special torches to make the stay feel so very special. Sitting outside by the lake is pure joy. There is even a little boat to borrow should you feel inclined. The bed is SUPER comfortable. We absolutely loved the little cottage thank you.

It absolutely didn’t take from the stay but the one better if… would be the wifi for the smart TV. We tried using Netflix on the TV but kept getting connection issues, it wasn’t watchable. Also no Channel 7 to watch the footy. We didn’t contact the owner because honestly we didn’t feel like it was worth the interruption to our short stay troubleshooting technology, we do enough of that at work ;-)

A lovely little cottage, secluded but opening onto a lovely pond. Well provisioned for breakfast and a welcoming bottle of Shiraz, port and chocolates was a nice touch. There’s little you could fault with this facility and it was interesting to view the water storage facility for the vineyards and how this has been integrated into the ambience of the whole complex. Enjoyed the use of the well stocked wood burner- very cosy.

Lacking cupboard space in kitchen. If there was a way to use a part of the locked cupboard unit this would overcome the cramped cupboard space. Constructive criticism only.

Was a home away from home. Everything thought of, so many little thoughtful touches. Was close to town for supplies & for our wine tour where they would pick us up & drop off. We got text messages about arrival plus check up ones making sure all was fine. Was just lovely. Very peaceful & we took up the BBQ pack which was enough for 2 nights. Supply for breakfast, we couldn't even finish as so much.

That we were only there for 2 days.......

Quiet rural escape by a lovely dam surrounded by vineyard and convenient base to explore the area . Clean comfortable cottage with all the mod cons and careful attention to generous breakfast provisions , tasty treats and complimentary wines and port .Great wifi and lcd tv if you get any time . Comfortable outdoor lounge by the water and fabulous sunsets. Heatwave during our 3 day stay controlled by great aircon in a great little cottage oozing with charm and history . Hostess Tina had everything organised beautifully for self checkin and always available if needed .

Moving on ……

Communication between the property and us was smooth. The location was beautiful, peaceful & quiet. Breakfast described or advertised was exactly what we received. It was clean and everything we needed for cooking were available. The rowing boats were a good touch for a fun activity. The messages from the property was a lovely personal touch. Location is close enough to get to the centre where other dining locations are available.

There’s nothing at all that we didn’t like. This is just a small suggestion: It’d be good to offer other outdoor game activity. It offers an opportunity to do something while enjoying staying by the lake.

The provisions for breakfast were wonderful. We had plenty for our needs but thought it was a nice touch that we only had to contact Tina if we wanted more. The location was awesome, close to wineries and the Township of Tanunda. The lake setting was absolutely beautiful. I told my husband it reminded of the lake in The Notebook movie. Just beautiful and so relaxing.

There was nothing I can think of to improve our experience. So much thought had been put into this Spa Cabin we staying, they had everything covered. The fudge was exceptional.
