Short walk into town for multiple cafes and supermarkets. Angaston definitely the nicest small town in the Barossa.
Accomodation worked well for a group however house is getting run down and needed a good clean. Floors dirty, dusty skirting boards etc, laundry dirty, strange worms in the master bathroom. Balcony floors didn’t seem very safe so we avoided walking outside. Garage locked so had to park outside on gravel. Was just enough space for our 4 cars.
Tea towels had multiple holes large in them, most guests didn’t get bath mats. Hardly any clothes pegs and no broom only a dustpan and brush ( kitchen and Lounge have wooden floorboards so after a few days needed a sweep). Bed was comfortable, water pressure, heating and wi-fi good.
There was no apology or any contact as to the resolution of the issue. It would have also have been pure courtesy to let us know what we were walking into.
As we booked out the property which gave us full access to all rooms, I would not like to have been in the down stairs suite should strangers have been above as the noise does travel considerably.
There were very limited provisions provided we had milk, juice and coffee. We paid the full amount for the entire house, each suite charged as an individual booking. This is not a B&B as there were no breakfast provisions provided, a simple loaf of bread and preservatives would have been quite sufficient to give it that bit of an edge for a welcoming feel.
The front suite which had one bedroom is far superior to any of the other suites although it is just a single bedroom suite with a lovely ensuite and sitting room, the styling was also the better of the suites along with a gorgeous entry, balcony and views.
I cannot give this property the 5 rating as we did have a number of reservations about our stay, but after saying that for a group booking for up to 10 people it has heaps potential. We did have to bring one of the chesterfields into the front room to give us seating for our group to be comfortable together. The flexibility of the property is good and definitely comfortable.
Only downsides are as nice as it is it definitely feels like staying in your grandparents spare room - beds a bit smaller than you’d usually have at home, not enough extra pillows (most are decorative) but honestly for $200 a night the good 100% outweighed the slight discomforts you wouldn’t get in a city.
I think it important you remind yourself that you’re not in a B&B, you’re not in a hotel, you are very much in a homestead.
We plan on coming back with several friends to book the entire house out al- which I do think would utilise the amenities more (kitchen available, bbq, sit anywhere on the balcony etc).
Oh and it didn’t really explain some things but if the fortified wine was complimentary awesome! If not, oh well it was delicious!
TL;DR
Great spot to stay as a couple, FANTASTIC spot as a group or family. Treat it like your grand parents house and you’ll be fine. Make sure you wine and cheese with the sunset.
The location is convenient and the outlook from outside the property is really good but the services and essentials indoors are distinctly lacking. Certainly there is a TV which worked. There are also plates , and cutlery and a fry pan and a microwave which would give the impression of a self contained unit, but there is no sink outside the small hand basin in the shower area . This situation makes it virtually impossible to meet the owners requirement of leaving every thing clean.
The latter could be the reason that the place seemed to be less than hygienic on our arrival. These characteristics, coupled with broken window blinds and an uncomfortably firm bed determined us to eat breakfast out each morning and to avoid spending any quality time within the "suite".
The owners or their management ( never apparent on site during our stay) have a job to do if they are ever to get this property to have any credible comfort relative to apartments elsewhere in the same price range



we arrived 8pm to a warm house which is always welcomed on a coolish night.This house is HUGE and in a fantastic location of the Barossa Valley to base yourself from for day trips to all areas. We usually stay in Lyndoch, but as the accommodation was limited due to it being a very busy weekend in the Barossa, we moved to Angaston.
There is actually three living areas, six bedrooms, three areas to prepare meals, three bathrooms, three televisions, all cooking facilities, a fantastic BBQ on a verandah overlooking the valley. All areas were very clean. Bedrooms all had fresh clean facilities, including many towels, soaps, toilet sprays, shampoos, hairdryers etc. The HWS had plenty of hot water with great shower heads.
We chose to make our meals there every night, as once you got back to the house after a long day visiting wineries etc, it was so comforting to be there, that you didn't want to leave. With two gas fireplaces and ducted heating throughout the whole premises, we lounged and relaxed on the many lounges available, watched football, drank more wine and had such a relaxing time over the four nights we spent there.
I will choose this accommodation every time now when we come to the Barossa Valley as it is so central, affordable and extremely welcoming and comfortable. The booking was easy, instructions concise to get ourselves into the premises. Our friendly neighbours (cows) made us very welcome and I would recommend that "do yourself" a favour and come and see what I'm talking about with staying at "Lindsay House"
However it is very cute with great views.
The getaways folk were friendly and assured us that as long as things were tidy, the sign off about dishes was fine with just having rinsed cups and plates.
First, the good points -
Beautiful and quiet location at the top of the street. It is a very short walk to town (a bit of a hill but it didn't bother me). There are cows, sheep and goats in the paddocks just outside the house and the gardens are beautiful. The house itself is lovely and big - very country.
The bad points -
The bed is rock hard and small (barely a double). It was not a comfortable two nights and I barely had any sleep. I'm okay with hard mattresses but this was just beyond anything I've experienced. The owners would do well by replacing the bed frame and mattress. For the price, I would have expecting something a little more luxurious. What a difference it would make if they had a beautiful queen or king size bed to come back to!
Now to the millipedes - they were everywhere especially in the bathroom. I'm not sure if it was 'millipede season' but I've never seen so many. On the first night, I woke up with a rash on my leg that was burning and stinging like crazy and which stayed like that for most of the next day. I actually thought I'd been bitten by a spider however with the amount of millipedes in the house, I can assume that there was a millipede in my bed. Millipedes won't bite or intentionally hurt you but it hurts like hell if you get any of their toxins on you!!
There were also Daddy Long Leg spiders behind everything. The suite seemed like it only receives a basic clean over. The Pig and Pinot suite doesn't really have a cosy feel however the upstairs suite does and looks beautiful.
No provisions except for milk and coffee. I did like the fudge that was in the fridge and the little decanter of red wine.
I'm not sure if I would recommend the Lindsay House until they replace the beds and mattresses.
