Suite is serviced daily. Bathrobes, shampoo/conditioner, hair dryer, wool
underlay, down pillows, quilt and electric blankets are provided. The
comfortable veranda with fairylights and candles has a truly magnificent view,
and is the perfect setting for breakfast or dinner. The ancient almond grove
just below swarms with white cockatoos or pink galahs in season, adding extra
appeal. We also see owls and wedgetailed eagles on occasion. Being glazed and
heated, you can use the verandah all year round.
We are close to many attractions, such as bushwalking, golf, wine tasting, fine
dining, etc. I hope you have a lovely time here in gorgeous Barossa!
The restaurants in Angaston are all within minutes by car from Almond Hill B&B,
or 10-15 minutes walk. There are many excellent choices, and they cater for
most price ranges. I can make a reservation for you beforehand, if you like. As is common in Australia, you can BYO (bring your own)
which means you bring your own bottle of wine instead of purchasing it from the
restaurant. A lovely system, especially in a wine region like Barossa Valley
where you may want to drink what you tried and bought earlier in the day.

Delicious provisions for breakfast are provided. Bacon, free-range eggs, mushrooms, home-made bread, freshly squeezed juice, yoghurt, fruits, cheese, jams and marmelade, muesli, cereal etc should be enough to set you right until dinner at least. You can choose
to eat at the antique carpenter's bench (made by an early Barossa craftsman) on your verandah overlooking
Angaston or inside, overlooking the vegetable garden. If you are lucky, there
will be raspberries to be picked. There is also a gazebo for those perfect weather days.
If you like, you can feed the donkeys which live in quiet retirement
in the paddocks. On occasion, a wild kangaroo or two have stopped by for a
graze, as well as daily sightings of rabbits. This is Australia after all.
If you are staying long enough to consider taking daytrips, there are more
wineries in the Clare Valley one hour north, or historic Kapunda or Burra, both
full of interesting history. There is something for everyone...
