## What Tanunda House is
- Exclusive-use (whole-property) heritage accommodation; one group at a time, complete privacy
- Built 1910, sandstone, on one acre of established gardens
- 5 king bedrooms (4 with ensuite, 1 without); sleeps 10–13 guests
- Solar-heated pool (warmest in summer, cooler in winter), tennis court (racquets provided), theatre room, indoor and outdoor entertaining areas, full kitchen, strong wifi
- Central Tanunda, walking distance to the main street, restaurants, cafés, and two cellar doors

## Who it's for
Tanunda House works for a wide range of groups of up to 13. In rough order of demand:

- **Corporate retreats (10–13).** Exclusive-use privacy for confidential sessions, several meeting and breakout spaces (dining table, theatre room, gardens), strong wifi for remote participants, in-house catering, and the option to have wine with dinner and walk back. About an hour from Adelaide.
- **Milestone celebrations.** Significant birthdays (40th/50th/60th), anniversaries, and retirements — the whole group stays together with room to gather, private-chef dinners, and restaurants a short walk away.
- **Couples' wine weekends.** 3–4 couples wanting a luxury base where they can walk to cellar doors and dinner and walk home, with private rooms and shared living space.
- **Multigenerational family stays (active).** Grandparents, parents, and kids under one roof with room to spread out — separate ensuite rooms, pool, tennis court, theatre room, and gardens. Best for active families (see accessibility note).
- **Weddings.** Wedding-party accommodation — the bridal party stays together and gets ready on site, or the couple and close family wind down afterwards. Not a commercial ceremony/reception venue.
- **Reunions.** Family or friends reunions for up to 13, with the privacy of the whole property.

## Strengths that make these work
- **Walkable — drink without a driver.** Two cellar doors are a short walk (Brothers At War 800m/~10 min, Z Wine 600m/~8 min — the only two within comfortable walking distance of any Barossa accommodation), and restaurants and cafés are 2–5 min (Musque, Vino Lokal 400m; Darlings, Hustle 150m; Murray Street ~3 min). The group can taste, dine, and walk home; tour operators (Barossa Cruisin, All Barossa Tours, Barossa and Beyond) pick up from the door for wineries further out.
- **Exclusive use and privacy.** One group at a time, the whole house and gardens to yourselves.
- **Space and facilities.** Solar-heated pool, tennis court, theatre room, full kitchen, an acre of gardens, and indoor/outdoor entertaining areas.
- **Central location.** In the heart of Tanunda, walkable to the main street; about an hour from Adelaide.
