Photographs of the Barossa Valley Angaston has become known as "the Foodies Town of the Barossa" - there are many good restaurants in the town who serve excellent meals at affordable prices, all are licensed, also BYO.  Three are within walking distance, others are mere minutes away by car (we will take you if we are available), with good taxi service or transfer available if you prefer not to drive after enjoying a favourite wine. Angaston main street has lots to offer our visitors, including a few surprises! Gemstones are facetted at Birthstones, a goldsmith hand-crafts fine jewellery, both have treasures for sale from their respective premises.  Two interesting book shops sell both new and antique books.  We've two Pubs, excellent restaurants and Angaston has its own Cheese making factory with sales counter wine bars and coffee shops.  Early on Saturday mornings, the popular Barossa Farmers Markets sell an extensive variety of Barossa produced food including meats, fruit, jams, cakes and biscuits, herbs, olive oils etc. etc. Relax with a massage in the privacy of your own room from 'Healing Hands Mobile Massage'.

Play golf?  Just a 14 minute drive to the superb Barossa Valley Golf Club.  A 6026 metre par 72 course with and ACT rating of 70.8 metres, the tees are generous and well made.  A delightful bush country setting irrigated from their own water bores, this spacious golf course can give a feeling of truly "being away from it all".  Golf sets and carts are available for hire.  For golfing enquiries, phone between 9.00am and 5.00pm weekdays, or after 7.00am on weekends, (08) 8562- 1589 We have around 60 wineries in the Barossa, including Angaston's family owned Yalumba Winery on the edge of town, Salters, Henschke, Thorn Clark, Smallfry and A Taste of Eden are all in or near the town.  We recommend the Heritage Walk of Angaston, numerous other walks in and near the town, and interesting drives in the "high country" nearby, and just ten minutes away is a splendid bush walking trail through the Kaiser Stuhl Conservation Park - the famous Heysen Trail cuts across one side of it. Scenery throughout the area is amazing. There are so many things visitors can do and see in this area. The Barossa Valley is famous for its gourmet food and fine wines, it really is a shame not to spend at least several days here so you can see and experience some of South Australia's loveliest countryside. Ideally, make Marble Lodge your "base" for a few days, consider taking day trips to Clare Valley (another famous wine district 1 hour away), historic Burra (2 hours) or to the vast areas of irrigated oranges, stone fruits and vines of the Riverland (1 hour).
