Step away from the everyday and gather somewhere that inspires clear thinking.
Set on 60 picturesque acres, “The Barn” at Piney Ridge Farm offers a private retreat and meeting venue in the Adelaide Hills for small groups seeking privacy, inspiration and genuine connection. Whether you’re planning a board meeting, leadership retreat, workshop, or planning day, our rural setting provides the space to slow down, think differently and make the most of your time together.
Surrounded by open pasture, established gum trees, and native wildlife, the setting naturally shifts people out of day-to-day noise and into clearer thinking. Sunrises and sunsets stretch across the property, with grazing sheep and cattle, kangaroos moving through the paddocks, and constant birdlife in the background.
This is not a conventional meeting room. It’s a peaceful setting designed to improve the quality of your time together.
Designed for small groups (6–10 people)
The scale is intentional. The space is best suited to intimate groups where discussion, focus, and participation matter.

Room to breathe
What sets “The Barn” at Piney Ridge apart as a distinctly unique private retreat and meeting venue in the Adelaide Hills is the ability to step outside and breathe.
A large private deck overlooks open pasture and established gum trees, with uninterrupted views across the property. It’s a natural place for conversations to continue, or to pause entirely.
Use it for:
- Breaks that reset attention
- Quiet personal reflection
- One-on-one conversations away from the group
- Informal discussions without walls or noise
Optional additions
Designed to extend the experience beyond the meeting itself (at additional cost, subject to weather and fire restrictions):
- Firepit use for relaxed group time
- Wood-fired pizza oven for shared meals
Catering options
Light catering can be arranged on request:
- Morning tea
- Simple lunch options
- Afternoon tea
(Details and pricing available upon enquiry.)
A considered, dual-purpose space
The venue also operates as boutique accommodation outside of booking times. For meeting and retreat use, the space is intentionally reset and configured to suit your group.
The result is a more comfortable, considered environment than a standard commercial venue—without the impersonal feel.
Who this works for
Groups that get the most value from this space typically prioritise:
- Depth over scale
- Quality of discussion over volume of content
- Connection over complexity
It is not suited to large, high-noise, or heavily technology-dependent sessions.
