2 Bedroom Cottage in Bethany, Tanunda

Welcome to Bethany Reserve Cottage (formerly Sonntag House) — a beautifully restored circa-1840 settler’s cottage where Barossa heritage, tranquillity and modern comfort come together.
Set directly opposite the Bethany Reserve and creek, and located on the Bethany Historical Walk (Stop 15), the cottage enjoys a rare position in the heart of the Barossa. Peaceful, green and rich in history, it feels removed from the bustle — yet remains just minutes from Tanunda, the region’s vibrant centre of food, wine and culture. Wake to birdsong, wander the historic walking trail from your doorstep, or let children explore the open lawns, playground and shaded creekside paths directly across Bethany road.
Lovingly restored with a sympathetic modern addition, the cottage retains its original character — thick stone walls, flagstone floors and a traditional wood stove — while offering the ease of contemporary living. The country kitchen is fully equipped for relaxed breakfasts and unhurried meals, while the cosy lounge with slow-combustion fire invites you to settle in with a book or a glass of local Barossa wine.
The cottage comfortably accommodates two couples or a family, with two generous bedrooms. One bedroom home to a queen bed, and the other a double and single bed. There is also a fold-out sofa for additional guests (upon request). Quality linen is provided throughout, and a modern bathroom, toilet and laundry are discreetly housed within the newer extension.
Step outside to a vine-enclosed courtyard with gas BBQ, perfect for alfresco dining, or wander the surrounding gardens beneath towering pink peppercorn trees. With the reserve, creek and historic walking trails at your doorstep, the setting invites you to slow down and experience Bethany at its most authentic.
Whether you’re here to explore world-class wineries, enjoy scenic walks steeped in local history, or simply unwind in a character-filled country cottage, Bethany Reserve Cottage offers a memorable Barossa escape.
