About Orleana Restaurant

Tucked away only 45 minutes from the bustling city centre of Adelaide, this iconic property is set on 225-acres. On the edge of the breathtaking wine country of South Australia and once home to a wealthy nineteenth-century pastoralist, nothing rivals the exclusive access to our 16-suite retreat. The property has recently re-opened after a two year, multi-million dollar redevelopment, designed to give guests a taste of the best the Barossa can offer, such as fine wine, artisan-grown produce and good times shared.
