We booked for a 2-night stay with the Seppeltsfield Vineyard Cottage and so glad we did. What an amazing place to stay. Right in the middle of the vineyards with sheep grazing around us and birds singing in the trees. ||The cottage dates back to the 1800s and is still in its original condition. It is spacious and for a couple only with a single bedroom (large) with bathroom and a large lounge area. Because we were there in winter, the fire was set up for us and it added a charm to the cottage. ||We arrived and had instructions on how to get into the cottage (self-check in) and were welcomed with a comfortable, clean cottage. Inside everything was perfect, including a bottle of local wine (from Hentley Farms next door - see my other review—you must go to Hentley Farm), a cheese platter, more breakfast options than we could consume (we opted for bacon, eggs, mushrooms and the fresh bread from Fino), along with some pastries. ||On our first morning, even though it was bitterly cold outside, we cooked breakfast on the BBQ, and sat out with nature and had breakfast before venturing off for our day wine tasting (starting at Hentley Farm). The bed was super comfortable and a large bathtub looks out over the gardens --- just everything was perfect. ||The other amazing thing (and sorry no photo) is that downstairs from the cottage is a wine cellar. The cellar dates back to the 1800s and is full of wines, many of which you can purchase if you need a bottle. There was also a port barrel for you to taste some local port (but go and try the port at Fino - you can get a 100-year-old taste or a taste from your birth year - worth the experience). ||Highly...

We immediately loved the charming decor which reminded me of a European farm house. They have thought of absolutely everything to make your stay feel like home… but in a 5 star environment. The linen, the bath towels, the bathroom amenities, the Bose system, the furniture fabrics, the coffee machine, the jazz CDs, the kitchen crockery (Inside and outside!) and access to the house cellar! … everything has been meticulously selected to create a wonderful home away from home, full of character. The places that came recommended (nearby restaurants, bars, markets and vineyards) were all fabulous and made our stay in the Barossa terrific. The cottage was so good we decided to stay for an extra day as we wanted to enjoy it after a busy couple of days visiting nearby places. |Thanks Jodie for having us at the cottage, we loved it and will recommend it to anyone wanting a special experience. We could not go overseas as planned for our ten year anniversary but The Seppeltsfield Vineyard Cottage and the Seppeltsfield area offer an amazing alternative. An anniversary to...
