"As we walked through the door we immediately felt at home, cosy & warm, relaxed & inviting, it is wonderful to have the option of staying in a home rather than a hotel! The attention to details from the paint through to the light switches is indicative of the love that went into creating this special home. Breakfast in bed, wine, chocolates & long walks through the vineyards, what more could you ask for, thank you. We hope all future guests enjoy their stay as much as we did.” Nick & Suzie, Vic. Jul 2010
"Thank you for a wonderful accommodation for our much needed short break. Everything was first class. Such a majestic cottage. The spa was a delight after a day in the vineyards.” Lee & Maureen, Jul 2010

"Thank you so much for a lovely weekend. The Residence is just beautiful and a delight to savour. The location, the furnishings, the provisions - everything was just right. We will certainly recommend it to our friends.” Megan & Mark, Sydney, May 2010
"Thank you for your follow up call after our stay in April. I'm sorry I missed your call. Zoe and I would like to thank you both for your hospitality, for arranging massages/wine/tour/gourmet platter and to let you know we had a fantastic time with no complaint at all. We have been all over the world privately and professionally, and the Barossa Shiraz Estate has been one of the nicest places we have ever stayed- a historic home tastefully decorated, great little touches (breakfast, port, wine) and modern conveniences (TV/spa/kitchen etc) coupled with the old world character. The only disappointing part was having to leave and go back to work. Fantastic and thank you again.” Wade & Zoe, Apr 2010

“A little home, away from home with everything you need & more! We have often spent our Barossa trips at the ... Barossa resort and decided to do something different… now we wonder why we didn’t discover “The Willows” years ago. Spent a lovely evening, celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary, watched our wedding DVD… Ellie even treated us by sleeping through the night for the first time in 6 wks and as a result we felt we slept the best we had in a long time. Will definitely be back. LOVED IT. Thank you.” Elizabeth & Marty, SA, Nov 2008
