Our Cottage

Located in the World Famous Barossa Valley, Greenock’s Old Telegraph Station is a great choice to stay for lovers of history, nature and culture. The 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.

Features two beautifully appointed bedrooms, features reverse cycle air conditioning, cosy living room with wood fire for cool winter nights, and a modern country-style kitchen including coffee machine. We have a fully enclosed backyard lawn area with BBQ and entertaining pergola.
