Listing highlights

Great check-in experience

Recent guests loved the smooth start to this stay.

Extra spacious

Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.

Beautiful and walkable

Guests say this area is scenic and it’s easy to get around.
Perfect for one or two people, The Writer's Studio is fully self-contained.
It has a really comfortable and firm inflatable queen bed.
Away from the main house, it opens out onto a small orchard.
This is a quiet oasis you can enjoy in between exploring all the Barossa has to offer.
It has dining and sitting areas as well as a reading nook in the loft. It has a sofa which can open out for a child if necessary. Or we can set up another inflatable bed in the loft, accessed by a loft ladder.

The space
The Writer's Studio is great for singles or couples.
I originally called it, The Shed, as it was once a hay shed with three walls and a grass floor. It morphed into The Writer's Studio after various friends asked to use it as their retreat to spend time quietly catching up on writing projects.
Wineries abound, as do eating opportunities, ranging from the award winning Appellation at The Louise and fermentAsian (consistently names in the Top 100), to Vintners, Harvest Kitchen, 1918, St Hugo’s and Maggie Beer's Farm. There is also a huge selection of light meal options offered by most of the wineries.

Guest access
You are free to sit in the garden or the orchard. The kitchenette has a small oven, hot plate, microwave, fridge, toaster, kettle, crockery and cutlery. If you are cooking and need specific utensils or pots, just let us know and you are welcome to borrow them from the house kitchen.
Bed linen and towels are provided.

Other things to note
The Writer's Studio is literally at the bottom of the garden of the main house and there is plenty of street and pavement parking at the front.

Lives in Tanunda, Australia
I am a full time business coach helping business owners create businesses that work for not because of them. My clients are mainly in Australia, New Zealand and the US, and as long as time zones are compatible I can work with them from anywhere. Thanks to Skype I have conducted my client meetings from Jaipur (India), New York, Perth, Sydney, South Australia and San Diego. Clearly - one of the things I can't live without is travel. And I can't live without my Kindle - which has lightened my travel load enormously. No more books to carry and leave as I pick up more. I love great food and wine - I live in a wine region where the two go together. I am a great guest. Quiet, fun, a reader and a walker. My life motto is Stride Into Life.
