HighRoost is secluded, however right in the middle of the best Adelaide Hills attractiions. The accommodation is the studio cottage which is separated from the main house. The tranquillity and peacefulness of this secluded location with its eclectic charm is a place to chill out. HighRoost, just like many outback Australia landscapes has massive, harsh yet beautiful views that change with the season. The kind of views that has inspired artist of many forms, from Nolan, McCubbin, Boyd, Namatjira and Heysen. In fact, The Cedars is home to both Hans Heysen’s studio – Australia’s oldest artist’s studio and Nora Heysen’s studio, with some 200 original works on show. Amongst the rolling hills you can find the Langhorne Creek vineyards, The Monarto Safari Park, the largest outside Africa. Horse drawn carriage rides. Lots off stunning little country towns and markets to visit and eat out. Equally, if want to take it a little quietly, HighRoost, has many little nooks and seating areas to enjoy what nature has to offer. Note the last 4 kM is a dirt road with several small creek crossings. Please come and explore this hidden gems of the Adelaide Hills.
The owner who has a passion for this exception rural property. We are small farm holding with the intent of making cheese.
So much to see of the Adelaide Hill all within 30 KMs. There are car museums, art galleries, vineyards, distilleries, bushwalks, wetlands, wildlife safari park, picture theatre and grate dinning options.,
