Designed and built in 2020 by former English barn builder Ralph Coupland, The Barn was recognised as a finalist in the 2021 Australian Timber Design Awards. Built using reclaimed Australian hardwoods and traditional English barn-building techniques, it is one of the most distinctive accommodation experiences in the Adelaide Hills..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.
Take a closer look inside and discover the craftsmanship, warmth and character that make The Barn unlike anywhere else in the Adelaide Hills.

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!
