About this property

40 Acre Retreat -rural seclusion, central location

This large, spacious and comfortable home with its roaring fire and reverse cycle air-cooling, has a fully equipped kitchen, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and open plan living, making it an ideal property for couples and families alike.

40 Acre Retreat offers the perfect location as either a central base for enjoying the wine and food tasting experiences of the Barossa or to relax and catch up with friends and family in privacy, surrounded by the grape vines, birds chirping, while watching the sheep meander in the paddocks.

Enjoy the peace and tranquility of country living amongst the vines and the gums while being conveniently located 5 minutes or less from the Barossa Valley’s top wine and food attractions; Tanunda, Seppeltsfield, Maggie Beers, Hentley Farm, Whistler Wines, Torbreck, Appellation’s Restaurant and only a short walk to Two Hands cellar door.

Please note we can not hold any type of functions ie. weddings, engagement parties etc at the 40 Acre Retreat, it is a guest house only.

The 40 Acre Retreat is holiday accommodation, we do not supply breakfast. The closest supermarket is 7 minutes drive, which is open 7am -8pm and there are many great eateries in the Barossa, ask us for more info of where to go.

This is also a working sheep farm, we love that you want to bring your dog on holiday and try to accommodate that, the yard is sheep proof not dog proof, if you feel your furry friend might be a little too interested in the sheep then our property might not work for you.

Family Get Away
The property was lovely. Great location. Close to all the wineries and towns. Was a very hot weekend and each room had an airconditioner which was very welcomed by all of us. Very well stocked kitchen with regard to cutlery, crockery and saucepans. Beds were very comfortable and all linen provided. Just one piece of feedback is the fly screens on some of the windows. Did not seal well and lots of bugs found their way in if we opened the windows. Highly recommend the property.

A very comfortable stay
The place was as advertised and the owner was prompt with replies and very accommodating with our requests. We had dogs and infants and everyone was catered for well. Plenty of space to spread out and the kitchen was well stocked with appropriate utensils, there was nothing we needed that wasn't already there. Was only 5 mins from nearest town but certainly felt you were on your own.

About the host

Hosted by Renee de Saxe

Host profile image
Our family moved to the Barossa Valley in 2016. We live just up the road from the 40 Acre Retreat. We love the Marananga area, its location is so central and the valley is so picturesque.

Why they chose this property

Visitors to the Barossa Valley have been staying at the 40 Acre Retreat for well over 6 years. We took ownership of the property at the end of 2017. We loved the abundance of natural light and big open plan living space. We got to work straight away giving the place a much needed overhaul and we think the results speak for themselves. Our aim was to create a home that was fresh, inviting and relaxed both indoors and out.

What makes this property unique

Located on a 40 Acre farm, the birds are generally the noisiest thing you will hear, or the lambs in lambing season. It is a short drive to the most visited wine and food offering in the valley.
