Glenbarr Homestead

Glenbarr Homestead Situated on the outskirts of Strathalbyn, Glenbarr is a heritage listed homestead & can be booked for camps, private weddings, family events or functions.

Situated on the outskirts of Strathalbyn, Glenbarr is a heritage listed homestead set on 35 acres of gently undulating farming land alongside the meandering Middle Creek. It is the ideal site for a smaller camp group, adult retreat or function. Glenbarr Camp and Conference centre is located 45 minutes South West of Adelaide in the quiet rural countryside near Strathalbyn. It is on the edge of the

township and only a short walk to the centre of this historic town with its beautiful memorial gardens, stunning heritage buildings and collection of antique shops and cafes. Glenbarr was originally a home for Scottish pioneers and was one of the first buildings in Strathalbyn built in c1842. The buildings are a unique insight to the lifestyle of the early pioneers in rural Australia. Many of the original buildings are used by groups with modern accommodation and bathroom facilities to ensure a comfortable stay. Glenbarr Camp and Conference Centre can be booked for camps, private weddings, family events or functions. Tours of the historic and unique Main House with its traditional furnishings and collections can be arranged by appointment.

Today we were delighted to host the Range Rover Club for a Private Tea and Tour. Our Lauke's Special Scones were well received, and our guests were surprised by the history and many stories shared of previous owners and the Glenbarr collection. Looking forward to two more groups this week. , , ,

Coffee or Strawberry anyone? Another beautiful day celebrating a milestone for one of our own. A Special Birthday and a gorgeous afternoon. We couldn't stay inside and had to enjoy the sun. They say Strathalyn is a secret worth sharing, well Glenarr is a Secret within a Secret worth sharing.

As Winter is here and we slow in bookings we have been working hard at some much needed maintenance here at Glenbarr. Some of our most recent projects include new gutters on the stable Inn, a refurbished office inside the main house plus a new paint job and stepped porch with safety rail on Kathleen's Cottage There are still more jobs on our list, but these changes have greatly revitalised our buildings. More photos of additional projects to come soon!
