A magical flight of the imagination has been realised with these lakeside cottages, which nestle in the vines of Stonewell Vineyards. The hosts have crafted storybook cottages using local stone. But there is a fresh twist: contemporary furnishings are blended with charming country accents.

Each of the two Haven Spa Retreats hold a surprise – French doors lead you from the bedroom to a spa room that invites hours of candlelit relaxation. The idyllic Hideaway Cottage offers two bedrooms, perfect for friends or for when you just want to escape and rejuvenate. In the ultimate romantic gesture, Cupid's casts an enchanting spell with its sunken spa. Every cottage overlooks the lake and offers privacy, cosy wood fires and Stonewell's own wines, making the perfect setting to just rest and relax.

What to do? Take a rowboat to the island gazebo, fish, feed the ducks and watch the sun set over the water. For those seeking adventure, the best of the Barossa is on your doorstep including cellar doors, gourmet stores, antique shops and restaurants. This is waterfront romance in the heart of the Barossa.
