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

Wade Australia

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 with a number of different areas to sit and enjoy the surroundings. Breakfast provisions were ample and delicious. We really appreciate the owners doing single night stays as we were touring on bicycles and it can often be difficult to find B and B's that will do a single night.

Elizabeth Australia

Very clean and cosy cottage in a great location, comfortable beds, big bathroom with fluffy towels, yummy breakfast provisions, lovely fully enclosed garden. We loved staying here with our pet and will definitely be back! Wonderful host, provided prompt information about our stay. We relaxed, we explored, we thoroughly enjoyed our escape - thank you so much :)

Gabriella Australia

This place was a great for us especially having the wood fire on the cold wet nights. We loved the breakfast provisions, and the bottle of wine was a nice touch.

Sharon Australia

What a fantastic cottage! Great location, very spacious, and the fire was set ready to light when we arrived. The breakfast supplies provided were superb all sourced locally to help promote local businesses. Virginia communication via text and email was really helpful. Easily the best accommodation on our holiday to SA, I wish we had stayed for longer!

Judith Australia

Perfect place just loved it will visit again and again thank you phust

Lynette Australia

This lovely cottage had everything we wanted. It was in a perfect position for visiting our chosen wineries, it was clean , attractively furnished, had a well appointed kitchen and tasty local produce for breakfast. Unfortunately the weather was rainy but on fine days the back garden would be a perfect spot for a bbq and relaxing in the sun. Communication regarding entry to the property was easy to follow.

Host Review Score
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
