Exceptional staff great meals and friendly service.
Pros:

What a lovely Hotel to have lunch at. I arrived about 40 minutes before my two family members arrived and I was looked after by the most friendliest staff I have ever had the pleasure meeting. Bonney was my first point of contact and she went out of her way to make sure that I was looked after until my family arrived. The other staff on were just as friendly but unfortunately I didn't get their names. Everybody was so cheerful and helpful for the whole time we were there for lunch today 10 Nov 25. Well done to you all exceptional people who love to work in hospitality. Thank you again' Kindest regards Ian Sargeant

Crafers is our ‘go to’
Pros:

We really can’t fault Crafers. Our second stay and if we’re in the Adelaide Hills again we won’t hesitate to book Crafers.

Apart from the very comfortable, beautifully decorated rooms, the staff truly go out of their way to make your stay delightful. Great inclusions such as the breakfast bar with tasty continental treats.

Best hotel in the country!
Pros:

Everything about our 3-day stay was beyond amazing.
Let's start with the greeting from Jo...we felt like we were important, Jo greeted us like old friends and gave us the tour of the hotel (jaw-dropping) and ended with showing us our room. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! the balcony, the Tim tams in the fridge, the bathroom, just all stunning, not to forget a gas fireplace in our room! Nothing during our stay was a problem, we ate in the restaurant 2 of of the 3 nights there and the meals were incredible. Then there was Jess, our waitress for both nights...what an asset to the establishment this young lady is. Polite, on point, and beautiful energy to be in the presence of. Jess made our dinners an even more enjoyable experience, along with all her colleagues including the lovely bearded fellow that I cannot recall his name. The housekeeping team, now that's the icing on the cake....our room was pristine, they were so polite, so humble....we felt looked after and cared for like we were family staying in the hotel. I also was given a private tour of the extensive and incredible wine cellar...the owners own collection and it blew my mind. The last thing is the use of the quality products such as Sheridan Towels and linen, top notch pillows, a beautiful bath which I popped some locally sourced bath salts in to have a little relaxation spa session of my own whilst the hubbard sampled the local beers at the bar! We cannot recommend this hotel with enough stars and would even go as far as saying if you're staying in Adelaide, don't bother with accommodation down the hill, just stay at the Crafers Hotel and use it as your base. We explored Mt Lofty (what a hike), Hahndorf, Macclesfield, Longview Vineyard and Day Spa, Victor Harbor, Encounter Bay, Stirling, and even did the Adelaide Oval Roof Walk all in the 3 days of our stay. Even the lady who checked us out at 7:30am was so accomodating and lovely.
Thank you Crafers Hotel....bringing back old school courtesy, kindness and sense of family to your hotel guests.
We will be back
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts

Pros:

We loved our stay at The Crafers Hotel. The room was perfect for an extended stay and the meals in the restaurant were incredible. Our waiter, David, was friendly and knowledgable and Sandy ensured we had a smooth check in. Even though the hotel is situated near the freeway, you rarely heard the traffic. I’d suggest not booking the Norfolk Room, as it is next to the open kitchenette and Housekeeping, so noisy in the mornings.

Perfect Adelaide Hills Stay
Pros:

We loved our one-night stay at the Crafers Hotel. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the shower with Aesop products felt like such a treat. The fireplace in the room made it feel cozy and special, and it was so nice to have coffee and fresh croissants available in the kitchenette. Everything was thoughtful, stylish, and relaxing - a perfect base to enjoy the Adelaide Hills. Highly recommend!

Top standard hotel
Pros:

This is a top standard hotel. We have travelled widely and stayed in many hotels and other accommodation in Australia and overseas, and the Crafers is one of the best. We stayed for three nights (the Lofty Room) and found everything to be perfect - the room, facilities, staff, location and food (breakfast kitchen near the room and the dining areas downstairs). The Crafers Hotel totally deserves a five-star rating - or even higher!

Best breakfast ever!
Pros:

My husband and I stayed two nights in this hotel in August 2025. We stayed in the Mount lofty room. It was large, luxurious, clean and comfortable. The room had a fire place, a large bathroom and a balcony. We stayed for a wedding nearby (Mt lofty house) but adored the hotel. Staff were professional, friendly not very noticeable, but they were there when you needed them. The hotel has a communal kitchen accessible to all patrons but you never saw anyone else. The kitchen was clean and had basics available such as breads, coffee (machine and kettle) microwave, fruit, cereal and yoghurt-a wonderful idea I wish all hotels would adaopt. The little things were the best, small toiletries to cover everything (including make up wipes), luxury soaps and personal care products, daily newspaper delivered to your door (a must while I lay in bed with the fire place roaring eating my complimentary breakfast), clean robes and slippers, complimentary snacks and water, welcome chocolates with a welcome personalised note with a discount voucher for a nearby restaurant and 2 drink vouchers. I cannot wait to come back!
