How many pavilions are on the property?
There are six pavilions located on the 75 acres hillside property
- each pavilion is designed for just one couple with a minimum of
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 the
layout, furnishings and amenities of each pavilion is the same. The
views from each pavilion is similar, each faces east and has uninterrupted
views.
Is the access road to your property sealed?
Only 1.5km along Fuss Road is unsealded but generally
in good condition, otherwise if you take the Yaldara Drive access
option the last 300 metres is unsealed but can have pot-holes towards
the end to avoid. Internal roads on the property are not sealed but
are in good condition.

Yes. Please let us know about your dietary requirements
when making your booking and we will be happy to provide an appropriate
breakfast selection.
Is the accommodation serviced?
Barossa Pavilions is rated by the AAAT as 4.5 star
Self-contained Bed & Breakfast Accommodation which means the pavilions
are not serviced. We however, for stays of 5 nights or longer include
linen/towel servicing mid stay.
What is the check-in procedure?
We will SMS you within 24hrs of arrival with access

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 strickly 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.

ground, electric fences, livestock and a dam on the property which
means any babies should be kept under supervision at all times.

Unfortunately not. Barossa Pavilions is not only
a tranquil retreat but also a working farm with stock and often visiting

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.
