With an enduring reputation for its high standard of accommodation and idyllic location, Stonewell Cottages & Vineyards is a luxury retreat on 103 beautiful acres in one of the world's most prestigious wine producing regions, the Barossa Valley. Beautifully styled and created especially for couples, these charming stone cottages are the ultimate romantic getaway. Three picturesque waterfront vineyard cottages feature cosy wood fires, big comfy beds and luxury candlelit spas. Sitting snugly in a peaceful secluded setting overlooking a tranquil lake with a tiny island gazebo, the cottages are a perfect hideaway for couples seeking to unwind, recharge andd revitalise. Order a gourmet food platter and row out to the little island, or just float around on the lake in the rowboat, sipping wine and eating paté. Enjoy a spa bath and curl up in front of the fire in the luxury bathrobes provided. Prepare breakfast in bed for your loved one, the well equipped kitchens are stocked with fresh local produce for self-preparation breakfasts. Relax with a cup of tea on the sun lounge of your private outdoor courtyard, and enjoy the cottage garden and seasonal glory of the vines.
There's so much to experience in the amazing Barossa Valley, with over 80 wineries and gourmet food producers in the region. Take a balloon flight over vineyards, tour the wineries in a vintage 1935 Auburn automobile, or a Daimler. Throughout the region you'll find art galleries, studios and craft outlets and historic walking trails. Galleries and studios offer the chance to visit local artisans at work, partake in workshops or purchase a special memento of your visit to the Barossa. Hire a bike and explore the area, sample the great restaurants and drop into Maggie Beer's Farm Shop for some gourmet delights.

Cupid's cottage was a perfect place to enjoy a small honeymoon after our wedding. We loved the extra little touches in the cottage, the beautiful platter on arrival, the scenery & of course, the ducks! Thank you also to Evan for transporting us to and from Appellation for a beautiful meal. We will be recommending Stonewell to our friends and family & can't wait to come back again. Thank you!

We truly loved it and will recommend you to all!
