    Good location Lovely gardens and amazing little cottages Bed was very comfy We went in winter but very warm and cosy in the honeymoon suite Bbq and fire pit with a beautiful pool area and lawns

    On a dirt road A suite means one room and bathroom We upgraded to honeymoon suite with lounge and table It was lovely but a bit outdated

    The location and affordability. It was clean.

    Very basic and dated facilities - a bed and 2 chairs. Room was very cold despite air conditioning being on all the time. Bathroom was freezing. Gardens were lovely but on cold winter weekend were not able to be enjoyed.

    The garden was lovely, and the buildings very pretty - classic older cottages, with a French look. Very quaint.

    The room itself was not what we expected for the price. There were no windows so it was quite dark and not a room you could relax or hang out in - so not quite the resort that was promised. Needs serious updating, especially the bathrooms. We booked for two nights but stayed just one.

    Property response:

    Dear Anna, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent stay at Jacobs Creek Retreat. We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed our lovely gardens and found our classic cottages "very quaint" and with a "French look." We put a great deal of effort into creating a beautiful and peaceful environment, and your kind words about our outdoor spaces are truly appreciated. We are, however, genuinely concerned and sorry to learn that your experience with your suite did not meet your expectations. We want all our guests to leave feeling completely satisfied. Had we known of your concerns during your stay, we would have been more than happy to offer you an upgrade to another suite, as our priority is your comfort and enjoyment. We always encourage guests to contact us immediately if anything isn't quite right, so we can address it on the spot. The suite you stayed in, while our most compact and consequently our least expensive option, was indeed recently refreshed with new paint and furnishings. We also want to gently clarify that this suite does feature two glass entry doors and a full-size window in the bathroom, which are designed to bring in natural light. Our confirmation email clearly depicts the room including the bathroom and the windowed French entry doors. We are truly sorry that your visit fell short of the experience you anticipated. We pride ourselves on offering a tranquil and unique escape in the Barossa Valley, and we are disheartened that this was not your experience. We would appreciate the opportunity to understand your specific concerns further, as direct feedback helps us to improve. Please feel free to contact us privately by phone or direct email if you would be willing to discuss your stay in more detail. Yours Sincerely Jerry Underhill

    Very beautiful property and grounds and a clean and comfortable room

    Lack of hanging space. Also, lack of washing and drying facilities if staying for longer than 2 days in the cedar suite

    Nothing

    Room very small - very cramped space - uncomfortable bed - no room whatsoever to do anything but sit on bed! Sunken bath and shower - difficult access to use -

    Property response:

    Hi Lorna, It’s disappointing that you did not find the room to your liking however, the room is exactly as depicted on booking.com, including the sunken bath and shower so not sure why you were unaware of this. Our beds have been rated 9.2 out of 113 reviews. As for seating options, there are two occasional chairs and table in the room as well as a table and chairs on the verandah; also, numerous seating areas throughout the property ie gardens, BBQ area, lawns and pool area should you want a change of view! The suite you booked is our least expensive and smallest suite however that being said we have so many guests that have loved all it has to offer at it's price point. Our property continually rates at a 9-10 by our guests. I had also personally arranged early check in and very late check out to accommodate your personal situation. Best Regards Jerry

    Pretty much everything. Our suite was the Orchard and exceeded our expectations overall. Stylish, very private and plenty of room. Communal grounds wonderful. Pool and BBQ areas excellent.

    Perfect for short stays however not set up for long stays as no washing facilities or food prep area. Bar fridge was noisy at times. The addition of a larger kitchen buffet/sideboard would be terrific as there is plenty of room to put one in.

    Lovely setting, lovely exterior, quiet, still close enough to town. The room amenities were quaint Good sized bathroom! Absolutely lovely overall

    The steps to the bedroom were steep (so couldn’t recommend to elderly or physically limited patrons) The couch cushion could do with new foam (hard to settle in fully for a cozy movie)
