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?
Yes. Please let us know about your dietary requirements when making your booking and we will be happy to provide an appropriate breakfast selection.

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.

What is the check-in procedure?

Do you accept 1 night bookings?
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.

Are the pavilions non-smoking?
Yes. Smoking is not permitted inside the pavilions. You may smoke on the outside decking however we ask that you be careful to extinguish your butts fully in the ashtray provided and also ensure windows/doors facing the deck are closed to avoid smoke drifting inside the pavilion. If evidence of smoking inside a pavilion is found an additional cleaning/airing charge of $300 will be applicable.

What should we bring with us?
We like to think we provide everything required to make your stay comfortable however apart from your personal items and clothes you may also like to bring your favourite music on CD or Ipod. We do provide a selection of movies & magazines for your entertainment.

Is there a supermarket close by?
Yes. Lyndoch is just a few minutes away and has a supermarket along with an excellent bakery and butcher.

Do you cater for children?
Unfortunately not. Barossa Pavilions is designed to be a tranquil couples retreat and therefore is not suitable for children. Warning: Certain design features and furnishings in each pavilion make them an unsafe environment for babies.

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. Why not treat your dog or cat to a break also, with a stay at 'Barossa Bed & Biscuit' - we highly recommend it, our Cavalier King Charles Spaniels stay there often. Contact us for their details.
