Staying at the Miners Cottage is to enjoy a uniquely Australian rural experience. The Miners Cottage is situated at the edge of the South Australian wine region, the Barossa Valley, a region that can boast making a large portion of Australia's finest premium wines. The region is steeped in the history of its founding pioneers and presents an abundant opportunity to taste at some of Australia's most iconic wine companies cellar doors. Add to that some excellent restaurants, all with a wine focus, a wonderful farmers' market and plenty of good shopping, especially well-priced antiques, clothing and books.
