Spacious rural retreat - Hills and Barossa

Set amongst the rolling, gum-studded hills of Kersbrook, just 45 minutes from the Adelaide CBD, Pepper Tree Farm is a spacious rural retreat perfectly positioned between the Adelaide Hills and Barossa. Wake slowly with generous local breakfast provisions before discovering nearby wineries, scenic drives and charming country towns.

Set on 10 acres and surrounded by gardens, gum trees and natural bushland, Pepper Tree Farm offers a peaceful base for enjoying both the indoors and out. Guests have exclusive use of the entire self-contained ground floor, with its own independent entrance and no shared indoor areas. It includes a queen bedroom, full kitchen, light-filled living and dining areas, bathroom, laundry and toilet, along with a cosy wood fire, reverse-cycle heating and cooling, and everything needed for an easy country stay. Guests often describe the accommodation as beautifully presented, well equipped and welcoming.

Outside, enjoy coffee under the pergola, wander through the garden, watch the paddocks change with the light, or settle in with a glass of local wine as the sun goes down. Guests have access to multiple fully fenced garden and paddock areas covering approximately four acres, offering plenty of room to relax and, if travelling with dogs, space for them to explore securely.

A generous welcome basket awaits your arrival, with your choice of local Kersbrook Hill wine or Paracombe Premium Perry pear spritzers, along with cheese, biscuits, chocolates and other treats.

For the mornings, generous breakfast provisions include Mount Pleasant wood-smoked bacon, fresh free-range eggs from the Pepper Tree Farm chooks, hash browns and sausages, fresh fruit and vegetables, yoghurt, cereals and porridge, croissants, crumpets and muffins, plus pancake supplies, Beerenberg jams, fresh orange juice and a wide choice of dairy, lactose-free and plant-based milks. The kitchen is also stocked with everyday pantry basics and a few easy meal options.

Pepper Tree Farm is home to a small number of friendly animals, including dogs, a pony, donkey, miniature goats, sheep and chickens. You may see them around the paddocks during your stay, but interaction is entirely optional.

In cooler months, the wood fire, electric blanket and cosy furnishings make Pepper Tree Farm a lovely winter escape. In warmer weather, shaded outdoor areas, air conditioning and evening breezes keep things comfortable. You’ll wake to magpies and may spot blue wrens in the garden, with galahs, rosellas and cockatoos visiting throughout the day — a reminder that you’re in the country while still within easy reach of both the Adelaide Hills and Barossa.

Well-behaved, house-trained dogs are very welcome. To help ensure a relaxed stay for everyone, I ask that visiting dogs are friendly and comfortable in new environments. My dogs are generally kept separate from guest dogs, with any introductions managed carefully. Please share a little about your dog when booking so I can make sure the best setup is in place for your stay.

I live on the upper level with my dogs, so I’m nearby if needed, but the guest accommodation is entirely separate and your privacy is respected throughout your stay. I’m always happy to say hello or help with anything you need.

If you’re planning day trips, I may also be able to look after your dog while you’re out. Just check with me in advance to confirm availability, and we can work out what will suit your dog best.
