This boisterous ol' 1846 pub in the town centre is a real community hub.
Pub rooms upstairs are good value and clean; out the back are nine ritzy mauve-coloured
apartments. Downstairs, Duran Duran wails on the jukebox and schnitzels fall off the
edges of plates (mains $17 to $28, serving noon to 2pm and 6pm to 8pm).

At last, a backpackers in the Barossa! Occupying a converted, U-
shaped winery office building 500m from Tanunda's main street, it's a clean and ship-
shape affair (if still a little office-like and spartan). Management can help you find pick-
ing/pruning work. Bike hire is $20 per day.

These romantic, waterfront spa retreats are surrounded by vines and offer un-
beatable privacy, comfort and serenity. Pet ducks waddle around rusty old ploughs as wa-
terbirds splash down in the reservoir. Pricey, but worth it (cheaper for online bookings).
