John's place is a quiet retreat filled with wonderful items from the past. The location is great to visit anything in the Barossa Valley. Checkin was very easy. There is ducted heating, as well as a combustion heater which is in the formal dining area. The open fire place in the lounge area is not operational. There are plenty of other heaters if needed. The loft stays warmer than downstairs at night time. The bed was very comfy - ensured a great nights sleep. continental breakfast provided was generous, with tea/hot chocolate and a coffee machine. Kitchen fit out excellent. The bath was great, the shower we could not get to give us a consistent good flow of warm water. Very clean and tidy. Great communicaton.
