Outstanding. From the moment we arrived it was clear that Fay had thought about everything a weary traveller would want. The heater was on, the fire was ready to light, there was food for breakfast milk in the fridge, coffee and a coffee press. Cozy and well appointed, from the bath robes to the ample towels and candles, even bath salts.We fell in love with this beautiful little cottage and know it will be our go-to when visiting the Barossa. We’re already planning our next trip!

Perfect

We were fortunate to stay at Norma’s Cottage and cannot believe how lucky we were. I saw the great reviews and wondered how accurate they were… well they’re true. The extra mile our wonderful and thoughtful host has gone to is just incredible. I’m sure I’ll think of many more wonderful things I could have said later, but just trust me, this beautiful cottage in this lovely town is such a treat.

Cute little quirky cottage

The cottage ẁas in a perfect location, just a short walk to all the restaurants and cafes.It was old, but had everything we needed and we loved all the small extra touches supplied by the owner. There was wine and chocolates on arrival, along with fresh fruit and and the basics (salt, pepper, oil etc).We also loved the fireplace.The only downside was there was no wifi and my partners phone didn't get any reception in the house. I therefore used a lot of data on my phone sharing it and streaming music when we had a night in. Overall though a fantastic place to stay and I highly recommend this cottage.

Charming Tanunda Cottage

Norma's Place is a cosy, well-appointed cottage in a quiet street in old Tanunda. The thoughtful host has supplied many welcome touches to this very comfortable piece of Barossa history. Close to everything, it is the perfect home-base to stay and explore everything the region has to offer. Highly recommended for couples and extended stays.

About the host

Hosted by Fay Herrmann

Host profile image
Although Norma's is a completely self-contained cottage on a large block of land, I live close by and can respond quickly to any requests or concerns you may have during your stay.

Why they chose this property

This unique German Settlers Cottage was the family home of several generations and Norma was the last of her family to live in it. Unfortunately she had no children, her husband dying within months of their marriage. The cottage has many original features including open fire. The most unique feature is the cellar/bakehouse in the large back garden. Once called The North Para Bakery it operated in the 1940's to supply bread to the American Troops who were housed at Sandy Creek.
The bakehouse was restored and used by my family for special celebrations. (It can take up to three days to get the Scotch oven hot enough.) As guests you can view it but unfortunately cannot use the oven due to insurance/safety restrictions.
If you have an interest in history there are numerous books on the Barossa area and various family histories of the early families.

What makes this property unique

Step back in time, when life was a little simpler. A basic four room cottage was generally the "norm" for families and families were generally quite large eg 12.
Make Norma's your own private little tranquil retreat after a day of wine tasting and site seeing or just relaxing by the open fire (backed by RC A/c) and no WiFi!
