Property has a lovely outlook and is in a central location. We have stayed before and were please to see one of the old lounges had been replaced. Unfortunately the property has got to a stage where it needs work. Water pressure in showers is woeful, TV cuts in and out making it difficult to watch. Chesterfield lounge is worn thin and has buttons hanging off it on strings. Dining chairs are concerning to sit on as we felt we were waiting for them to collapse under us. Bugs are getting through the screens and littering the bathroom floors at night. Front door screen is barely hanging on with only two hinges. The money we paid for our last stay was over priced when taking these issues into consideration. We also spent a hour cleaning the bbq. There was also no hand soap containers were empty and no shampoo or conditioner provided meaning we had to go to town and buy some.Bedrooms are clean. Blockout blinds in bedrooms are quite useless as they don’t cover the windows fully so expect to wake up in the morning bright and early if you don’t take an eye mask. I think the nightly rate of this property is too high now considering the updating of the property that is required.

We enjoyed our two night on this property. Situated in a quiet location, close to a number of good wineries. Ultra spacious home with plenty of room for a large family. Would recommend this property to others.

Unfortunately didn’t spend much time at the house. Most of the weekend spent setting up and attending a wedding. However, the place serves its purpose as somewhere for the family to spend the night close by. Not the greatest water pressure and broken shower head in one of the bathrooms.

We loved our family weekend at 40 Acres. It is such a beautiful location and perfect for a large family group with the large living area and outdoor spaces. The property is clean and very well equipped. The beds were also very comfortable.

Location awesome, views awesome, fireplace awesome. Turn key enjoyment. Spider webs in the legs of the outside tables was the only thing we needed to clean... this will not stop us returning. Thank you for sharing this house.

Had an incredible 5 night stay at 40 acre retreat as two families of 4 with young kids. Beautiful views out to the vineyard. Plenty of room for kids to explore. Well set up with fully stocked kitchen and 2 bathrooms. Close to town and can get everywhere in Barossa in 10-15minutes.

Lovely grounds and house with care taken to provide clean and appropriate bedrooms. The kitchen could use an upgrade but nothing to deter a great holiday experience. The house was fresh and full of light with stunning views.

Overall it was a fabulous stay. Peaceful with a group of 5, still plenty of room. We would all come again. One thing we were concerned about was the quality of the water. We did go out and buy our water for the 3 night stay.

This property is absolutely stunning. Myself along with my bridal party stayed here the night before my wedding and I honestly couldn't have picked a better location. All our pre-wedding getting ready photos were done here and the photographer's had so many stunning locations to choose from.

Always hard to pick and take the plunge. The 40 Acre retreat however did not disappoint. Well appointed and comfortable, with the six of us there was no feeling of crowding. Would happily go back again !
