The spectacular veranda is the place to be, to enjoy sunset views over the lovely valley beyond.

Balmoral Lodge is only 10 minutes from Gawler and 5 minutes to Lyndoch. We are happy to assist you in arranging transport and tours.
Parking is plentiful, with a large dedicated car park.

Other things to note
Your hosts are only a short stroll away, near enough to be on hand should any situation arise, but far enough away to ensure your privacy.
We have lived in the Barossa Valley for 20 years and know the area and most of the best travel spots around SA. We are happy to provide recommendations and itineraries upon request.
