Lovely escape to nature

You can really tell the love and effort that Graeme has put into this property. If you're looking to escape the city and immersive yourself in the Australian bush this is the place to stay. Facilities are fine with a modern country style kitchen but you will find yourself outside more than inside enjoying the huge amount of land and trails.

Perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle

Greame has a wonderful property off the beaten path. Very peaceful and romantic place to take my fiancee. The little bit picnic area by the dam was a real bonus. Very happy although key pick up could be made a little smoother. I.e. have a lock box on the property somewhere.

Perfect short break surrounded by nature

Excellent place to stay as a base for exploring the Barossa or for just relaxing surrounded by nature. There are lots of different walking trails on the property to explore and plenty of wildlife and birds to see. A very enjoyable place to stay.

WOW! Just an amazing quiet, peaceful place.

Graeme was amazing to deal with. He gave all the information that was needed/required for a event free stay at WINGS. the constant communication leading up to our stay was excellent. We were also given the opportunity to checkin a few hours earlier, which was wonderful. We got there early enough to get in a hike around the property before the rain came. Would not have been able to do that if we checked in at the normal 2pm time. It was nice to sit in the lounge area watching/listening to the rain and then have the local family of kangaroos coming up for a feed just outside by the outdoor setting. If anyone is into walks or peace and quiet then this place is for you. The place has everything needed for a relaxing break from the city. There is a log fireplace to use for the colder nights and even though we didn’t use it on our trip we were warm enough with the heating system on the wall. Great 2 days away. Thankyou Graeme.

A very well presented and situated property

The owner was clear on what he offered and what he expected of guests. The property exceeded our expectations and it was easy (and what youd expect) to comply with his requests. The property is magnificent and a credit to the movement to restore acres to their original natural form.

Spectacular place for a retreat

Waking up to the sounds of birds, cows and wildlife was heavenly. The entire property is well maintained, serene and outfitted with whatever is needed to support a time out. Graeme is a wonderful, considerate and thoughtful host. I highly recommend the property for a writing retreat, small gathering of friends/family or a time out from grind culture to reconnect with yourself.

Wonderful

We had a magical weekend away with our children who are normally have their heads stuck in their Nintendo’s or iPads. They couldn’t get enough of the natural surrounds, bushwalking and nature! We didn’t want to leave! The home was beautiful, everything perfectly thought out! We will definitely be back and recommend it to anyone who wants to escape the manic lifestyle for a little slice of tranquility and peace! Thanks Graeme!

Beautiful property, they have thought of everything!

My husband and I stayed here recently for our anniversary and had such a relaxing time going for walks, and enjoying the views. Graeme was very helpful in making sure we got the most out of our time there, as well as having everything provided for cooking, reading, and watching the wildlife. The accomodation was spotless, the walking trails were well marked with seats along the way to stop, have a wine, and watch the wildlife. Couldn't fault this beautiful property if you are after a peaceful getaway

Great Escape

This is a wonderful, peaceful, secluded sanctuary combining all the elements of natural Australian bush land with a clean and modern home with great kid friendly spaces on it's doorsteps. Perfect to get away from the city and relax for a few days, do some bush walking, lazy afternoons on the lawns watching the sunset.....Highly recommended!
