A brief history of Ballara...Ballara is the 100-year-old family home built for William and Emilia (Millie) Baker & their five children. Built in 1910, it is understood Millie would not come to Warooka until the house was finished and furnished! Wise woman!William Baker came to Warooka as a young boy in 1884 with his mother, sister and 2 brothers, after the sudden death of his father.In the early 1900s, Will and his brother Alf became storekeepers, trading as Baker Bros. and running 2 stores in Warooka. Will, Alf and younger brother, Tom, also went on to become farmers.William met Millie when she came from Ballarat to visit her sister who lived at Warooka. Millie named her new home 'Ballara' in memory of her home town.A feature of the house is its ornate ceilings, and story has it that visitors came from afar especially to view them.William ran a wheat agency from an office on the front verandah and was also a contact for World War 1 recruitment.In 1927, William sadly died at only 50 years of age, leaving Millie on her own with their 5 children Doreen, Dulcie, William jr. (Bill), Ron, and Betsy.Millie died in 1965 and Ron continued living at Ballara until his death in 1988.Having never married and with no children of his own, Ron left the house and contents to his 10 nieces and nephews.After the family furniture was divided, Bill bought the house and placed it in the names of his three daughters.Carli and Penny were both able to enjoy some time living in the family home. Ballara still remains in the Baker family and is currently being cared for by Bill’s youngest daughter, Steph.

Kim and Michael were so welcoming and generous with their time.
Kim met us on arrival for directions and for a chat, Michael took us for a private wine tasting and their wonderful dog Ollie even came over to hang out. The space was well kept and the views stunning, and only 10mins drive to the stunning Sellicks Beach or into the heart of McLaren Vale.
Would happily recommend to anyone travelling through.

Perfect base to explore the McLaren Vale region. The vineyard view and bird songs each morning was lovely to wake up to. Site was quiet with plenty of space.

Excellent flat open area to park your van or camper trailer with views over Kim and Michael's vineyard.
We did a wine tasting with Michael that was extremely educational about the wine making process and the wines were so good we couldn't resist buying half a dozen for our onward travels. I might say only 4 made it off the property. Highly recommend a stay here, absolutely wonderful. Cheers Peter and Karen

Perfect location to base yourself to explore the beaches and beautiful wineries/ breweries. Views from the property are stunning. We had pretty bad weather and still managed to enjoy walks around the property to see the wild life, hit up the local distillery and a drive down Myponga beach road which the owners suggested ( this has to be one of the most beautiful drives in all of SA and should not be missed!!) that surrounds this property. Stunning at sunset.
Still a work in progress for the guys here but the effort that Heath and family are putting in, Im sure this place will be fantastic!!
