Fodor's Expert Review Lawley Farm

Krondorf Rd. at Grocke Rd., Tanunda, South Australia, 5352, Australia

Amid 20 acres of grapes, in a courtyard shaded by gnarled peppercorn trees, these delightful stone cottage–style suites were assembled from the remains of barns dating from the Barossa's pioneering days. A wood-burning stove warms the Krondorf Suite in the original 1852 cottage, while in the Para Suite—former stables with ceiling beams from Adelaide shearing sheds—you can soak in a hot tub and then sleep late in a brass bed. The farm is within easy walking distance of six wineries.
