Max and Bridget
Wake up to beautiful views and the sound of birdsong in a tranquil farm setting - attached to a historic country home (1848), with traditional features and near the Amy Gillett Bike track and local wineries -e.g. Bird in Hand, Barristers Block, & Andersons Hill wineries, to name a few. We are responsible hosts providing high standards of hygiene, cleanliness and safety whilst offering warm touches to show care towards all guests, making your experience unique and memorable.
Max is a farmer and has lived on the property since early childhood, having an interest in farming, fruit growing, gardening, sport, history, reading and the local community. Bridget enjoys hospitality, cooking, outdoor activities e.g. running, bushwalking, as well as travel and new experiences. We both love music, attending concerts and local country events. as well as meeting new people and sharing our beautiful part of the world with you.
We are situated in the Adelaide hills between Adelaide and the Barossa Valley so are in a perfect situation to visit wineries, local restaurants, cafe's and pubs. The area is very beautiful with country drives between quaint villages e.g. Hahndorf, Stirling, Lobethal and Birdwood - each having Interesting attractions for visitors. For cyclists the Amy Gillett bike track is very closeby, and extends through Charleston to Oakbank and Mount Torrens, whilst there are other very beautiful and scenic cycling routes. The Murray River is about 40 mins away and is an important attraction showcasing South Australia's largest river - with house boats, a steamer and local eateries available.
