Relax on the comfy leather couches and wall mounted TV with Netflix which can be moved to view whilst in the hydromassage spa.

We provide the basics including milk, juice, eggs from our hens, nespresso pods, bread and condiments.

The building is on one side of our property with beautiful views to the east towards the Coorong and Lake Alexandrina.

Our horses are a few steps away and always welcome an apple or carrots and a pat.

Although we are only 7km from Mt Barker, where you will find all the main commercial outlets including KMart, Coles and Aldi, you will feel completely immersed in a rural setting with 180 degree views and large gum trees.
There is just the two of us on the property with our 5 dogs and 4 horses. I have been running accommodation properties since 2000.

There is separate access to the accommodation and parking directly beside the Tin Tabernacle.

The Tin Tabernacle is for the booking guests only - no additional visitors will be admitted to the property at any time.

    Wonderful property, spectacular build and we loved the quiet, if you wish to get away from it all this is the place. Lovely touches provided by the owners and would love to get back there.

    Beautiful peaceful location and stunning accommodation with so many special touches. Spa was Amazing. Bathroom is tiny, and chlorine smell from spa can be a bit strong, but overall many more special touches to out weight this. Highly recommended.

    Lisa is the perfect host and her property a wonderful place to stay. Surrounded by gum trees, so quiet, and yet close to all the attractions of the Adelaide Hills

    We spent 3 nights in this beautiful modern 'tabernacle'. With its high ceiling and open plan, and the bed screened off from the living area, it felt spacious and airy. The facilities were excellent and we were able to relax completely. It was lovely to sit outside with horses only a few metres away in their enclosure. We also walked in the beautiful bush at Mt Barker Summit, and spent several hours at Laratinga Wetlands, only a few minutes' drive away. Lisa was an excellent host, very friendly and quick to respond to any questions. Thanks very much, Lisa.

    A great place for 2. Such a well designed space, the amount of thought going into the experience was obvious, making it very comfortable. We stayed in both nights rather going out to a restaurant as we wanted to be in the space for longer... definitely recommend it.
