I cannot recommend Jon’s place enough! He is 100% committed to his vision of a self-sustainable property, which I hope to see more of across the world. Jon is also generous with his hospitality, offering a local bottle of wine and cheeses, breakfast cereal and milk, and lighting a fire for the guests each night. He gives clear communication and is an absolute joy to chat with and hear his story!
The place itself is quaint, but has all you need for a long weekend. The balcony looks over the fire pit area and his fruit trees. It’s right in the small town of Springton, but you’d barely know it with the private feel of the space. The bed is very comfortable and there are curtains to block out the sunlight if you’re looking to sleep in.
The location is situated close to the heart of the Barossa but is also close to Adelaide Hills. It’s a nice retreat from the bustle of the main towns. Keep in mind that there aren’t many options close by for cafes or restaurants, however you do have access to cooking facilities in the shed, which was all we needed for our long weekend!
I wouldn’t change anything about our stay and hope we can stay at Jon’s accommodation again in the future!
