Whiterocks Tanunda short walk to restaurants

Having grown up in the Barossa in the sixties and seventies I have always had a strong connection and love of the region. When Jan (my wife) and I came across this beautiful house in Julius Street Tanunda in 2015 we just fell in love with it and its perfect location in Tanunda, it was a purchase of the heart and we have carefully restored it to add modern amenities while maintaining its period features. We love living at Whiterocks ourselves from time to time as do our two daughters and their families, it’s very pleasing to be able to share Whiterocks with our guests for their exclusive pleasure during their stay to truly ‘experience Barossa’. While working in the front garden I have had the pleasure of talking with many local residents who have stopped for a chat and recount their memories of the house and its history, one local resident told me her grandparents where the original owners and builders of the house and her grandmother planted the three now magnificent crepe myrtle trees near the front gate, she was so pleased I maintained the garden in its original format as set out by her grandparents in 1935. We hope you enjoy your stay at Whiterocks
