    The facilities, setup and breakfast where all satisfactory. Great local selection of mixed goodies to enjoy and presentation was immaculate.

    The cottage was lovely and comfortable with many little extras. It was an extremely hot day and when we got there the house was lovely and cool as the air conditioner had been switched on in preparation for our arrival. The garden was also lovely...

The Old Telegraph Station cottage is a genuine part of the town's history, but despite the age of the building the amenities are modern. Imagine living here in the days of the original telegraph station operator, with his large family of seven children - and that was prior to the addition of the sunroom and bathroom extensions. Because you get exclusive use of this stand alone building you won't be disturbed by others. Sit and relax and listen to the many birds that come to drink at the bird bath.
Greenock is a quiet village soaked in history. There are two award winning wineries within walking distance of the cottage - Murray Street Vineyards and Kalleske Wines. Next door is a micro brewery, across the road is the local pub serving great meals. The recreation park nearby is ideal for kids or dogs. History abounds, and a Greenock walk brochure in the cottage (or from the post office) will guide you. More Barossa wineries, restaurants and attractions are just a short drive away on good sealed roads
