Verified This was a lovely place to stay, a beautiful little place which was very comfortable and a pleasant stay for us and our two children. Lovely decor and view, the boys loved seeing the ponies and horse out the window each day. A good base for exploring Mt Barker, Strathalbyn etc. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. ☺️Posted on BekVerified We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.The Dairy is beautifully decorated. Everything is spotless. A very peaceful and relaxing place for a few days R&R with great friends, good food, wine and a cozy fireplace.Posted on KerryVerified Gorgeous cottage, warm and generous hosts, comfortable and chic with lovely farm views in a convenient location to the Adelaide Hills district.We spent a week here during school holidays with my daughter who was at a horse riding training camp nearby. We were welcomed with a beautiful real fire upon our arrival, and a lovely top up of fire wood mid stay to allow us to continue using this cosy fireplace during our stay.Small thoughtful touches, well provided kitchen and laundry facilities made our stay super fuss free and convenient.Highly recommend Erin’s beautiful and tranquil cottage!Posted on ToniVerified We can’t recommend Brookside Dairy enough!! From the moment we booked Erin was an amazing host. She asked what time we would be arriving so that she could have the fire going for us to make the house cosy and warm. We arrived to the most beautiful house on top of the hill with in incredible view of the entire property, it was so peaceful! Erin met us as we drove in, she was so welcoming and asked if our little boy would like to help her feed the ponies breakfast the next morning, he was very excited!! He also loved feeding the stallion who was in the paddock next to the house, he was such a big baby who we all fell in love with! He even got a ride in the tractor with Luke to feed the stallion. Erin and Luke were very accommodating and wonderful hosts! We can’t wait to go back!Posted on LockeVerified We had a wonderful two night stay at Brookside Dairy. The hosts were very kind and thoughtful, it was 11°c max temperature during the day while we were there and they made sure we had plenty of firewood and blankets to stay warm and cosy. They also ensured getting into the house on arrival was super easy so we didn't get drenched in the rain.Our daughter enjoyed keeping an eye on the horse, cows and ducks and we all enjoyed unwinding by the fire in the tranquillity of the Dairy. They have really created such an inviting, cosy space and we would love to visit again one day.Thank you for having us!Posted on ToniVerified We loved staying here! Quiet, peaceful and close to everything the Adelaide hills has to offer. Erin made us feel so welcome it was like we were a part of her family. Our daughter loved seeing the horses and spending time outside. Thank you Erin!Posted on MatthewVerified The Dairy at Brookside is a beautiful spot in the Adelaide Hills. Close to shops and restaurants (5 minutes drive down the road, only 35 minutes to Adelaide and 10 minutes to Hahndorf. It's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy privacy, whilst still being close to everything. Erin is a brilliant host. Everything was easy and no hassle. We will definitely come back. :-)Posted on Bianca
