The Barn - On Cockatoo Lane

Nestled among the towering river red gums sits The Barn – On Cockatoo Lane. Drive through the gates, step out the car and breath deep, this place invites you disconnect and relax. These are acres to be enjoyed in peaceful solitude, only interrupted by the quiet of kangaroos and birdsong. The Barn itself was built with comfort in mind, simple luxury at its heart. Let it welcome you and work its magic. Located in the Southern Barossa, close to all the activities the Barossa Valley has to offer. The Barn is a repurposed farm building, rebuilt from the ground up. Where work horses were once tethered to tree stumps set in the concrete, now sits a new build, leaning into the history of this place but with all the modern comforts. The tall ceilings, beams, paved floor and steel windows all evoke an industrial farm feel but the red gum surfaces (made lovingly with a tree felled on the property), soft furnishings and natural colours give it a warm and calm feel. The Barn includes a spacious king sized bedroom, 3 way bathroom – with double vanity, walk in shower and soaking tub, an open plan living, dining and kitchen. There is also an expansive deck for outdoor dining and relaxing. The kitchen in amply appointed and allows you to be part of the conversations if cooking. The dining includes an 8 seater table. Perfect for a bridal brunch or special dinner. On Cockatoo Lane is owned by chefs and has a commercial kitchen onsite. We are happy to help you out with meal prep boxes or intimate catering for occasions, confirmed before your stay. Looking to explore the Barossa?
