How many pavilions are on the property?
There are 6 pavilions located on the 75 acre hillside property - each pavilion is designed for just one couple with approx. 50 metres separating each from the next, privacy was a primary consideration in the design.

Are all pavilions identical?
Yes, apart from interior colour differences. All pavilions have the same layout, furnishings, amenities and similar uninterupted views each facing East.

Can I request a pavilion?
We do not guarantee requests for a particular pavilion when booking at Internet Special or discounted rates, as the only way we are able to offer specials & discounts is if we have flexibility to move guests between pavilions to maximise occupancy. Standard Rate bookings (Direct Only) are allowed to request a particular pavilion at time of booking, subject to availability.

Is the access road to your property sealed?
Only 1.5km along Fuss Road is unsealded but generally in good condition. Internal roads on the property are not sealed but are in good condition.

Do you cater for special dietary needs?

What is the difference between the Internet Special & Standard Rates?
Internet Special rates are our online discounted rate which often change depending on the day of the week or time of year. This Internet Special rate includes breakfast provisions sufficent for 2 mornings and a mid-stay service if staying 5 nights or longer. Our Standard Rate differs in that the pavilion will be serviced every 2nd day and breakfast provisions replenished for the duration of your stay.

We prefer 2 night booking however we understand it is not always possible to get away for 2 or more nights so we do accept 1 night bookings midweek. Weekends (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) are strictly a 2 night minimum stay.

Is the accommodation quiet?
You should find Barossa Pavilions a very tranquil and quiet place to stay. Because of the distance between each pavilion and size of the property noise pollution is generally not an issue. You should however be mindful that it is also a working farm and surrounded by other farms and a winery. We endeavor to keep farm noise to a minimum but are not in control of our neighbours - that being said they are quite a distance from the pavilions.

Can we bring our pets?
Unfortunately not. Barossa Pavilions is not only a tranquil retreat but also a working farm with stock and often visiting kangaroos therefore pets would not be suitable however, Guide Dogs are the exception and are welcome at any time.
