Collingrove Homestead (c1856) was conceived as a little piece of England and is set amongst the great gums of the Barossa Valley The building is the historical home of the town of Angaston’s namesake, the Angas family. Thus far it has been maintained as a museum displaying artifacts from The Angas Family home and the South Australian history they helped create. Marcia and Andrew Frost have transformed the impressive heritage-listed home into a high-end, boutique bed-and-breakfast. Guest accommodation is individually styled. All rooms are furnished with French Provincial hand carved beds, fresh white linen and French Style Toile quilts. There are five guest rooms three have en-suites which are decorated in black and white tile another two rooms share an authentic old style bathroom complete with a claw foot bath. Guest amenities include a Hydrotherapy spa located in the old Carriage House across the quadrangle from the Guest Lounge, which is complete with leather lounges and open fire. Collingrove is set on 14 acres, with manicured gardens and authentic paddocks. Your full Barossa breakfast is served on the front veranda overlooking the front gardens (weather permitting).
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Don't let the (very few) negative reviews keep you from staying here. Those seem to focus on the cost. Yes, it's high. But you're also staying in an authentic, awesome, well located, historic property that costs a bomb to maintain. If you actually enjoy that sort of thing, then it's worth every penny. One negative review complained about a wedding caterer (picked by the couple getting married). Seriously? Some people just love to complain.
My wife and I have traveled all over the world and Collingrove is very close to the top of our favorite places we've ever stayed. It's just so different and fun - it feels like staying in another time even though it's only a few minute drive from wineries / restaurants / shopping.
We are also very happy with the restaurant advice received at Collingrove. It seems everyone in town has either gotten married or attended a wedding at this property, so once you let any restaurant know you're coming from here, you're WELL taken care of. Collingrove is a very happy memory for many people in the area.
Breakfast is outstanding. Some of the reviews say that it's simple. True, but that's not a negative. But it's also of the highest quality and uses awesome local items (the bread and bacon are simple but also are the best you will ever have).
If you want a cookie cutter hotel that could be anywhere in the world, and a huge breakfast spread using items from all over the world, you should probably stay elsewhere. If you want to truly step back in time, smile a lot, and have wonderful high quality breakfast, you'll be very happy here.

Collingrove Homestead B & B is a wonderful choice - a piece of South Australia history - you won't be disappointed.
Christine and Craig are fantastic hosts-very helpful and truly knowledgeable about the local area. Accommodations and food are great as well. Enjoy a nice glass of Shiraz by the warm fire in the reading room - you'll love it!
I'd highly recommend Colllingrove Homestead to Barossa Valley visitors!

If you want a place to stay that feels like a home from home (if you were born into a wealthy multigenerational family), than this is the place to stay. Beautiful historical accommodation in a peaceful rural setting, generous hosts, great food and a sense o history. Bring it on! Andrew and Marcia are great hosts, hospitable and easy and flexible to deal with. It’s close to the major Barossa centres and just out of beautiful Angaston, named after the Angaston dynasty that founded Collingrove. It’s a National Trust building, steeped in history but with modern day comforts like a spa etc.

The grounds are excellent; the home had a nice historic touch, The room we had was nice, except for the lack of tea & coffee facilities, TV or clock / radio in the room, We also found the bed uncomfortable although it looked stunning. There was a shared TV lounge in another building that had tea & coffee. The breakfast was very nice eggs, bacon tomato and mushrooms with toast, and expertly cooked Overall I thought the workshop at $325 was lacking a few items to make me class it as value for money

It's such a wonderful part of S.A. in which to spend some time. Our hosts at Collingrove were so friendly as were the few guests we met and so helpful at helping us map out places to go, best routes to take, good stops for lunch. Breakfast was delicious. We were there during a very warm time and I was concerned about comfort when I learned there was no air conditioning, but the old bluestone construction of this place was amazing. Everything cooled off at night, we closed the place up, and it stayed surprisingly comfortable! We also had a ceiling fan (as well as a private ensuite toilet & shower and a television, room 5, I believe). We enjoyed walking out back with the horses, by a chicken coup and out of our back windows we awoke to hear and see beautiful birds and the horses walking by. I wish we could have stayed longer and I hope to return some day. It was a great experience.

We first stayed here in 2005 and the Homestead and accommodation has certainly changed in this time. On our first visit we were greeted by the then hosts, this time we had to phone the hosts as there was no one at the house (even though they had tried to contact us via text message it hadn't reached us). First visit we were offered a welcoming drink and we sat in the house in one of the lounges and chatted to the hosts, BUT not this time, we were left to it as they disappeared. These hosts no longer live on site and I think for us that made a huge difference. The guest lounge has NO air conditioning and smells of old wood fires, plus the TV doesn't work. To access this you have to go outside so if it's raining it's really not very convenient. There are no tea or coffee making facilities in your room, so you either need to get showered and dressed in the morning to go and make yourself a hot drink or you need to dash in your pj's across the yard to make your morning drink. Not ideal!
The cooked breakfast is nice but the hosts arrive at 8.00am and you can then have breakfast at 8.30am or around that time. The bed was super comfy and clean, the air con unit really wasn't efficient in 40 degree heat and was really noisy - we found sitting outside the 'communal lounge' was better than sitting inside of an evening, despite the mosquitoes. The trees are in need of trimming and the driveway needs some attention. Tallhe outside generally needs some maintenance.

I stayed with a group of artists over four days. Marcia and Andrew were amazingly welcoming hosts and it really felt more like visiting old friends! The homestead is divine and the rooms are beautiful. I enjoyed a lovely bath in the claw foot bath and the pillows and mattresses let me sleep like a baby on a cloud! The area is just beautiful and Angaston was lovely to visit. I highly recommend it! The breakfasts were delicious and the freshly picked cherries were amazing! The only bad thing about breakfast is that Marcia and Andrew served us breakfast instead of eating with us! It really felt like they should have!

Beautiful old homestead seeped in history. National Trust building, well looked after. Great hosts, Marcia & Andrew, very friendly, showed us around & told us about the history of Collingrove. Our room was very comfortable and the guest lounge had a beautiful open fire & plenty of DVDs & games if we wanted them.

We were staying down the road at the Milk & Honey cottage & decided to drop into Collingrove Homestead. The house has been beautifully restored & still holds memorabilia from the Angas family & oozes with historical charm.
The house was originally built in 1856 by George Fife Angas one of South Australia's most important pioneers. It's set in beautifully manicured grounds shaded by magical old gum trees.
Accomodation is available in the converted servants quarters . Tours are available of the homestead.

Very comfortable and peaceful one night stay in the school room, warm and cosy. Thank you Marcia for a lovely welcome and walk around the museum rooms in the homestead, the history of our state is all here and preserved as though the original family had just left. The grounds are pretty with autumn colors. The breakfast room is divine but the breakfast a little disappointing not including any spreads or preserves, except for butter, and the out of season pineapple and melon not enticing. The cooked breakfast delicious.
