no hot water

one of us had a spa early in the morning of our second to last day. We had no hot water after that for the rest of our stay. There's a lot of curios and limited space to put your own stuff, especially in the kitchen. It was clean, the fire was cosy, the beds were comfy, had a lovely big backyard and was well located to explore the Barossa

The cottages well located and quaint

The cottage is well located and quaint with plenty of excellent restaurants in Angaston or Tanunda. The only annoyance was the neighbours dog.

Quaint and cosy cottage well situated

We throughly enjoyed our stay in Penrice which is essentially a suburb of Angaston. The owners kindly agreed for us to bring our 3 small dogs and the backyard was very secure which was perfect. The cottage was well equipped and very cosy. One thing to be aware of we found the mobile phone reception very poor (1 bar 3G inside and 1 bar 4G outside) and patchy (we’re on Telstra), and unfortunately the cottage has no wifi. Not really an issue for us with our short stay but unexpected these days so worth mentioning.
