We arrived in Adelaide and were driven to the Barossa Shiraz Estate. Communication with our host was excellent. We received detailed directions on finding our cottage and the time at which it would be ready. The timing was perfect. We were told our unit was "The Residence," the first building on the left as you enter the estate. Communication included the combination for obtaining the keys. Everything was exactly as informed. The cottage is more than picturesque. It is a storybook vision. It sits just inside the entrance, amid vineyards and decorative shrubbery. There was outdoor cooking equipment and furniture to be enjoyed. There is a niche carved into shrubbery, which creates a private, outdoor picnic area, complete with table and seats. Upon entering the cottage, we were amazed at the spacious foyer and living room, beautifully furnished. The living room allowed for plenty of natural light, and once the shades were drawn, the interior lighting produced by the tastefull decor was outstanding. A tray with glasses and tawny port sat on the mantle, as well as some welcoming snacks. The kitchen was large, modern, and well stocked. All kitchen appliances, as well as cutlery, pots, and pans, and a generously stocked refrigerator made us feel at home. Coffee, tea, assorted beverages, fruits, eggs, and breakfast meats were stocked, as well as some delicious home style bread and other nibbles. The bedroom and bath were spacious. The bed was very comfortable and there were robes in the dresser. The chairs and sofa in the bedroom emphasized the spaciousness of the room. We could not have asked for a more home-like base from which to enjoy our time here. We highly recommend this accommodation with our gratitude to our host.
