*Barrenjoey Hideaway*

Welcome to the heart of the Adelaide Hills at beautiful Barrenjoey Hideaway! Our charming property provides guests with the perfect opportunity to experience a wonderful farm stay surrounded by magnificent countryside and superb gardens, while being a short 40 minute drive from the Adelaide CBD.

Barrenjoey offers a fabulous escape for up to 6 adults and 3 children and features spacious, relaxing accommodation, with three separate sleeping areas with queen beds. There are extra bunks for children (at the end of the main part of the house), along with a fully equipped kitchen and laundry, plus two bathrooms and toilets.

Couples can experience the romance of a beautiful four-poster bed in our 1880s cottage, which incorporates olde world charm with the more modern attached house. Barrenjoey is also a perfect escape for families, with huge outdoor areas to explore along with cubbies and swings for kids, as well as plenty of indoor fun. We also welcome dogs to Barrenjoey; our 42 acres provide great play opportunities, along with a dam to swim in.

Barrenjoey is an active AgroForestry concern and our focus in those areas has been maintaining our native gums. Surrounding the house and cottage are acres of gardens; they are a combination of large, mature trees, smaller native shrubs and potted colour, and expansive areas of lawn. We also have developed a small orchard, plus we have a large veggie area for vegetables and herbs (which guests are welcome to use). There are multiple areas around the house to sit and simply enjoy the solitude and the view, to listen and to watch the beautiful selection of birdlife, or even to view our resident kangaroos coming to graze on the front lawn at sunrise and at dusk. Our two ponds provide a wonderful home to different varieties of Adelaide Hills frogs. And the distant calls from cows and sheep can often be heard from our neighbouring properties.

Barrenjoey is situated on historic Winton Road, which lies between Gumeracha and Birdwood. It is a very scenic, quiet dirt road and in many parts is lined with massive, old river red gums. There are many attractions within easy reach of Barrenjoey, including the Motor Museum in Birdwood and the Big Rocking Horse in Gumeracha. Further afield there is the Gorge Wildlife Park, an easy 15 minute drive to Cuddly Creek. There are also many fantastic wineries in the surrounding townships and beyond, such as Lobethal Road, Golding Wines and Glen Ewin Estate. The Barossa Valley lies a very reasonable distance away, about 25 minutes drive through some gorgeous countryside. During the summer months, one of the biggest cherry farms in the Southern Hemisphere, Torrens Valley Orchards, offers unlimited supplies of sweet cherries. We are lucky to have them situated at Forreston, right at the turnoff to Winton Road. The farmers market at Mount Pleasant, a short 15 minute drive away, is open every Saturday. Artisans, growers and producers from the area meet between 8am and 12 midday to provide visitors and locals with a unique and affordable food shopping experience.

Whether you are visiting Barrenjoey as a couple, a family, a group or even for your wedding celebrations, we always prioritise your unique requirements, ensuring your stay is a special one!
