The homestead is large and sprawling and built of locally quarried Tapley Hill Bluestone. This is laid in coursed random pattern with locally quarried Adelaide white soapstone dressings to the window and doors and massive capstan chimneys. Finely detailed gable-ends and bow-windows with timber louvered shutters offer delicate relief against the South Australian freestone. The refined architectural composition makes it an excellent example of our colonial pioneering homesteads. The magnificent homestead complex is set amongst ancient and twisted gums of the Barossa Valley. Beyond the gardens are rustic paddocks complete with century old trees and grounds with a peaceful and serene setting and home to many native birds and wildlife. Collingrove is set in a beautiful and peaceful setting with rich and interesting history in the famous Barossa Valley wine growing region of South Australia, home to some of the world’s best wines.
