It was a fun place to stay, with so much attention to detail for the theme of the B&B. It was immaculate. Our hosts were very accommodating, loads of local knowledge and tips. Nothing was too much trouble. We had a ball and very much enjoyed their company.

Great Fun Place to Stay.
All New Furniture, Kitchen, Bathroom, Appliances. Etc
It is Spotlessly Clean.
Stay there you won't regret it. Even a pinball machine and old record player to keep you entertained for hours.
We chose to stay at this property for a special occasion weekend with our adult sons. It was a very good choice for all of us and we all enjoyed the many special touches and authentic decorations from the era. The beds were quite comfortable, bathrooms were well appointed and kitchen nicely laid out. The breakfast provisions were satisfactory and provided a range of choices but maybe didn't quite match the high end nature of this property - a square white loaf from a city bakery for toasting?? I thought some local artisan bread would have been more in keeping with the nature and price of this property. A surprisingly nice property which is well worth a visit.

You may suspect that this little B&B would be super kitsch but you would be wrong! Despite being decked out in 1950's memorabilia, it was not over the top. We could not stop oohing and ahhing as we walked through the door and can totally understand why it's not a place to take kids - you just want to touch and play with everything!
The record player was so much fun. As was the pinball machine. The rooms were super comfy and the bathrooms had every modern convenience.
Our hosts Jannine and Mark invited us into Mark's mini retro museum (complete with XU1 Torana) and we stayed for 3 bottles of wine! The conversation was just wonderful and we had so much fun.
Mark was our host the next day for a private wine tour which he arranged beforehand in consultation with us. We had a fantastic day and he was full of local knowledge of the area and the wineries. By the end of the day, he had the 80s rock cranked up for us and we were singing at the top of our lungs!
The memories from this weekend will be with us for a long time. Thanks Jannine and Mark, for a wonderfully crazy weekend.
Recommend this B&B 100%.

I've read all the other reviews on this accommodation and wonder what I can add that others haven't already spoken of in glowing terms, but in case you've been asleep, here goes. This is the BEST accommodation in the Barossa. It is unique, beautifully planned and maintained and run by 2 of the nicest and most hospitable and helpful people you could ever meet. The retro style is fun with touches of luxury everywhere, including an amazing spa with room for your champagne and a tv to watch as you enjoy the bubbles-both kinds!
They have just started a wine tour - Barossa Cruisin' in their comfortable air conditioned vehicle during which Mark will accommodate your preferences or design a trip which you will love-especially the Chateau Tanunda and a lovely platter lunch at Schild Cellar door.

Our weekend at the "Old Garage" was a gift from our kids and upon arrival we pulled up at what a appeared to be a large shed. Upon entering we were totally blown away by an amazing space which was fitted out with 50's style decor and an atmosphere enhanced by classic 50's tunes playing in the background. It was like stepping back in time to our youth. You could tell that our hosts Janine and Mark had a passion for this era which was reflected in their attention to detail in this absolute gem of a B&B. Huge living area, 2 bedrooms and massive bathroom with spa was immaculate throughout. If you are visiting the Barossa and want a unique experience you won't be disappointed in the "Old Garage".......Warning: the pinball machine is addictive!,
I've stayed at the Barossa Old Garage BNB four times now and I am compelled to write a review as this place is amazing!
The cleanliness and attention to detail with first quality fittings and 60's Happy Days feel is something I have never experienced before. I stay in a lot of hotels, as a matter of fact I am in one as I write, and I cannot rate the Old Garage more highly. The owners Jannine and Mark are super-friendly and knowledgeable of the area as the love the Barossa Valley. They really know how to look after their guests and even did something special when I mentioned I don't drink tea or coffee they popped some quality hot chocolate in the kitchen for me.
I am grateful they chose to share their years of memorabilia as the room is an incredible testament to years of passionate collecting of retro and 60's items - even a muscle car!
Trust me this place is a must to stay if you want to be looked after somewhere really, really special.
