Our Cottage

Located in the world famous Barossa Valley, Greenock’s Old Telegraph Station cottage once served as one of the original telegraph stations linking Adelaide and Angaston operating from 1866, at a time when travellers stopped over in the area on the way to the Murray River. Today it operates as a beautifully restored self contained bed and breakfast accommodation, offering all the conviences of modern living whilst retaining its old charm.

Featuring two beautifully appointed bedrooms the cottage is exclusively yours, catering for 2-5 guests. The modern country-style kitchen is fully equipped and stocked with provisions for a cooked or continental breakfast. Reverse cycle air conditioning ensures comfort year round, or light the wood fire for traditional warmth on those cool winter nights. Relax in the luxury 2 person spa in the heritage style bathroom after a day of touring. Enjoy the complimentary local Barossa red wine outside under the pergola whilst cooking on the BBQ.

Location

The Barossa is renowned the world over for its premium wines and traditional foods. It is a place of scenic beauty with church spires reaching to the sky, gentle undulating hills, natural landscapes and historical buildings, a place that attracts people from all over the globe.

Greenock is located 66 km from Adelaide on the Sturt Highway. It is characterised by tree-lined streets with shady peppercorn trees. The town was named by James Smith, the secretary of George Fife Angas, after Greenock on the Clyde River in Scotland and is sometimes called Little Scotland in the Barossa Valley. The town is also located on the famous Heysen Trail.

Greenock's Old Telegraph Station is located in the main street of Greenock. Many world famous wineries and restaurants are only a short distance by car making Greenock an ideal base for your stay in the Barossa Valley. Make sure you visit the nearby famous Murray Street Vineyard and Cellar door.
