“We look forward to the opportunity to put Salter Brothers touches on a premium asset, with plans to expand the property, allowing more guests to experience this amazing piece of South Australian heritage, in the surrounds of the Barossa.”
Stefan and Leanne Ahrens said: “We are proud of what we have built at Kingsford The Barossa and look forward to seeing the property become a significant Australian tourism destination under Salter Brothers Hospitality management and their luxury lifestyle brands Spicers Retreats and Ardour Hotels & Estates. We are excited for the property to really go to the next level under Salter’s ownership.”
