Perfect winter getaway

This was the perfect winter getaway from Adelaide. Our host Steve was very welcoming, informative about the area and easy to talk to. Will bring our family back again as the accommodation would suit for three couples in the separate barns.

Great place to stay in the Adelaide Hills

We stayed at the Well Room for 3 nights and everything was great. Really clear communications from Steve, the room was spotless and we really appreciated that there were some breakfast provisions (muesli, yoghurt, bread for toast, etc). Was great to be able to sit outside the room and look out over the hills for breakfast. We highly recommend staying at Morialta Barns!

Romantic Long weekend getaway

A beautifully restored heritage out building, providing comfortable well appointed accommodation, surrounded by gorgeous scenery of the Adelaide Hills. Minutes from the CBD and close to a huge range of Adelaide Hills attractions, wineries and eateries. We had a wonderful time and would definitely book again for a weekend in the future.

Wonderful stay at Morialta

Our first visit to Adelaide and what a place to stay! Just a short drive from the city into the hills from Morialta Barns we could walk to nearby waterfalls viewing koalas and kangaroos. So comfortable with facilities to self cater or dine at nearby pubs & cafes. Thanks Steve and Fiona, your place is amazing!

The property was lovely and the buildings beautifully and lovingly restored. The property is situated in a lovely part of the world.Whilst ticking boxes on so many levels. There was the bright emergency lights in the ceiling. Granted they are a safety requirement but the room was so bright it was very hard to sleep. The bed was not the best and the pillows weren't great. Our bad, as we usually take our own pillows.

All-round wonderful experience

The property is unique & beautifully presented. Quiet & peaceful surrounds to enjoy. Welcomed ‘add-ons’ like a bottle of wine & breakfast supplies upon arrival. Hosts friendly, very responsive but also prioritised our wish for privacy. Good location to explore the Hills but close enough to Adelaide city too.

A beautiful Adelaide Hills experience

Lovely historic barn with bbq area looking out over a valley and hillside, providing spectacular views. The popular Heysen walking trail adjoins the property. The hosts’ were friendly and helpful, and their thoughtful provisions were much appreciated. We came in winter and enjoyed the cosy vibe with our own wood fire heater.

Great Place

Stayed in the Well Room. Exactly as advertised very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for our two day stay including breakfast provisions and thanks so much for accommodating our gluten free request. Communication with the owner was great both before and during our stay. A very peaceful place to stay and only 20 minutes from Adelaide. Highly recommend this property. Thanks Steve & Fiona

Heavenly

This place is magic. I had the most regenerative stay there. It is right next door to some beautiful hiking and I spent an entire morning sitting by a creek down the hill. Steve and Fiona were wonderful hosts and made sure I was stocked up on wine and firewood. I will most definitely be back.

beautiful and peaceful

Great communications before and throughout our stay. Loved every moment of our stay in the Adelaide hills and Moralta Barns, including the complimentary bottle of wine in our fridge. So cute quaint and comfortable inside, outside different little tables so you can sit drink eat snacks, watch the kangaroos go by and listen out and watch all the different birds in the area that meet in the different fruits and native trees. A historic trail passes through the property and this part of the trail takes you to the Scenic hotel for lunch and dinner only 500 meters walk along the trail. I should tell you that the pubs in the Adelaide hills are out of this world, you cant go wrong with food choices on your stay. Love Love Loved my stay.

Our little Getaway

I took hubby away for an early birthday surprise weekend. We both work and raising our Grandson almost 4 full time, permanently. We both needed a quiet, break away. The weekend went way too quickly. Host Steve was lovely. What an an amazing, beautiful and quiet retreat.

Stunningly renovated unique accommodation

Steve and Fiona have done a beautiful job of tastefully renovating and decorating the Barns, down to every last detail. We stayed on our way through hiking the Heysen Trail. Because we could only stay over night they kindly have us an upgrade to The Loft which is just stunning. It was a great place to relax and reset with laundry facilities and closer the the Norton Summit. We will be back.
