Great central location
We had a fantastic week, visiting the Murray River mouth (a highlight and worth the drive), Adelaide beaches, and the Barossa and Clare Valleys. Being from Brisbane, we also enjoyed the long twilights with self-guided walks and displays in Kapunda. The accommodation was like Grandma's house with quality mod-cons and plenty of room for us all. High speed internet was vital for our uni student son and the totally reclining lounges meant we could easily fit in a second adult child. The huge dining room windows were amazing, giving lovely views to the hills and making the dining room a huge indoor verandah.

Unusual and interesting Accommodation.
If you love old and interesting things this is the place for you. You are staying basically in a museum and able to explore all the interesting items as you go. Very clean accommodation with everything that you need. We were fine with the stairs but for anyone that struggles with them, they are steep.

Understated perfection
From the entrance up the stairs to having the entire top floor to ourselves - this place really delivers in all the right ways. The overall decor is in keeping with the style and age of the building except for the massive reclining lounge suite and 3, yes 3 smart tv’s throughout the lounge, dining and main bedroom. No detail has been spared regarding comfort, the beds were amazing, the sheets divine and don’t get me started on the softness of the towels. Located in the Main Street it is easily accessible and central to the town of Kapunda and the entire Barossa region, making it a truly perfect destination to have as your base to take in everything on offer.

Our stay at School of Mines, Kapunda
My wife and I traveled from Sydney and stayed at the School of Mines at Kapunda which is now set up as a fully furnished home. We found the home very comfortable and provided everything we needed for our stay. It is very well equipped. We used it as our base to travel around the Barossa and parts of Adelaide. We highly recommend this property.
