Retreat-style B&B in the Adelaide Hills
THE BARN AT PINEY RIDGE FARM
TOTAL QUALITY AND TOTALLY UNIQUE
Built in 2020 and a Finalist in the 2021 Australian Timber Design Awards, “The Barn” is quite simply an extremely unique and stunning space. Built by former English Barn Builder, Ralph Coupland, a specialist in working with reclaimed hardwoods, the materials used in the building and the history of where they were sourced tell a fascinating story. You can read about it here. The craftsmanship used in the build is extraordinary, and uses techniques not often used in Australia.
We designed it to resemble a classic Australian Shearing Shed on the outside, and an old English Barn on the inside. The Barn fits so well into the landscape of our working sheep farm. It sits immediately adjacent to our sheep yards and hay shed and offers commanding and private views, overlooking our 100+ year-old gum trees and blue-ribbon natural grazing land from Mount Lofty, across the Onkaparinga Valley and through to Lake Alexandrina.
Being fully self-contained and open plan in its layout, the Barn includes a fully-equipped handmade timber kitchen with all European appliances, unique rustic bathroom and a large elevated deck.

During the Day
Sit on the deck and soak in the peacefulness of the idyllic setting at this beautiful retreat-style B&B in the Adelaide Hills. Listen to the birds, hear the bleating lambs and grazing cows, and watch the wild kangaroos and other wildlife that often graze on our pasture.
At Night
Watch dusk fall over the pastureland and hear the evening calls of the local animals and wildlife. Delight in the evening stars as they appear whilst enjoying the warmth and ambience of your own private firepit.
Peace and Tranquility on your Doorstep
Unwind, Relax and be Refreshed
Head for the Hills
During your stay, why not plan to check out some of the other popular destinations in this beautiful part of the Adelaide Hills?
Green Valley Strawberry Farm and Lot 100 are less than a 5 minute drive away. Or if you’re looking for a Cellar Door experience, Howard Vineyard, Murdoch Hill Wines, Artwine, Simon Tolley, and Barristers Block are all close neighbours. If plants are more your style then head to Manor Nurseries, or Karkoo Nursery, both very close by. Or wander through the Old Wares Shops and Melba’s Chocolate Factory in Woodside, about a 10 minute drive away.
Or simply bring a picnic and enjoy the views from the reserve at the top of Firestone Road and Piney Ridge Roads looking across the Onkaparinga Valley through to Mount Lofty – a popular vantage point for sunset watchers.
Sounds perfect!
