Absolutely beautiful hotel. Very warm and welcoming

Everything. Staff were impeccable and personable. Location and views stunning. 10/10 for everything. Art in house extraordinary also. Amazing 1 night stay. Will definitely be back

Day One: First Impressions
Adelaide surprised us in the best possible way. Our first stop was the Adelaide Central Market — a vibrant, bustling public market that immediately set the tone for the city. We had a fantastic lunch seated at the bar of Si Seau, consistently rated among the top seafood restaurants in the city. The freshness of the seafood and the energy of the market made for an unforgettable first impression.
Day Two: Into the Valley
The following morning, Peter, our guide, picked us up and took us into a beautiful valley region filled with waterfalls and lakes. Here, we spotted our first ten wild kangaroos. Even under partially cloudy skies, the landscape was stunning.
Here is something important to know about Australia in May and June: the weather is wonderfully unpredictable. You could wake up to fog and rain, and by ten in the morning the skies would be blue and clear. By evening, the light turns dramatic and moody. Pack layers, bring a rain jacket, and embrace it — that ever-shifting atmosphere only added to the beauty of the landscapes we photographed.
For lunch, we stopped at a wonderful restaurant called Solopiann. It was charming and intimate, with its own kitchen garden and sweeping views over beautiful wineries and vineyards that had turned from green to gold in the autumn. It was magnificent.
After touring through the Adelaide countryside and taking in many different sights and towns, Peter delivered us to Mount Lofty House — our home for the next two nights. This charming property has been beautifully restored, with excellent rooms, outstanding food, and wonderfully friendly staff. Our waitresses and bartender were engaging and warm, and check-in was effortlessly easy.
Day Three: Wine Country
Peter arrived right on time the next morning for a full day of wine tasting. We began at Bekkers, a superb producer, followed by Deviation Road, where we sampled both their sparkling and still wines — both excellent. After lunch, we traveled on to the picturesque German-heritage town of Hahndorf, a delightful place well worth an afternoon visit.
As the day wound down, Peter returned us to Mount Lofty House, completing another wonderful day in the Adelaide Hills.
A Word About Our Guide
Peter, with Coastal Co., was an exceptional guide — knowledgeable, fun, punctual, and deeply passionate about the region. If you are visiting Adelaide and in need of a great guide, Peter is absolutely your man.

What didn't we like?!?! The view, the staff, the hospitality, the rooms (especially the bathroom!!), facilities were awesome and so many little touches that made everything that little bit more special :)

Amazing beautiful and comfortable facilities, gorgeous views, outstanding professional friendly staff enabled us to have a wonderful experience.

Stunning location, fantastic service and absolutely beautiful surroundings! Couldn’t fault anything - we will return 1000% (hopefully it won’t take 3 years til our next break!)

Absolutely everything. Such a gorgeous property in a stunning location.

Just a fabulous hotel.
Generous offerings in every area, beautiful food and gorgeous spaces to enjoy top class hospitality!

An absolute treat, from location, to venue, food, service and little touches that make you feel special. It's luxury with authenticity and country charm. You'll leave with sadness and instantly start planning your next stay.

Beautiful location

Our stay at Mount Lofty House was nothing short of exceptional. The accommodation, food and drinks were all truly 10/10. We enjoyed both the High Tea and dinner at Martha Hardy's Kitchen, and every detail was beautifully executed — from the quality of the food to the atmosphere and presentation.

What really stood out to us, however, was the customer service. Christopher and the entire team made us feel genuinely welcomed and valued from the moment we arrived, and it was clear throughout our stay that they went above and beyond to create a personal and memorable experience for us. That level of hospitality is rare and deserves to be recognised.

A particular highlight for us was the house tour, which added such a unique and personal touch to the experience. Learning more about the history and character of the property made our stay feel even more special and immersive.

Our only regret was staying for just one night. We will absolutely be returning and recommending Mount Lofty House to friends, family and colleagues looking for a truly outstanding experience.

We travel frequently and use AMEX Concierge Travel for many of our luxury experiences, and we will absolutely be sending them a personal note to highlight Mount Lofty House as a true standout experience. Thank you again to Christopher and the entire team for such a wonderful and memorable stay.

A beautifully appointed hotel with warm and generous hospitality. A hidden gem tucked up in the hills with everything you could hope for to take a step away from a busy life and rest. With everything you could think of on sight from phenomenal meals in several restaurants to a high tea that is second to none, spa treatments and Master Wine Classes. Why would you leave? Should it strike you to branch out the Beverly Hills of SA is just down the road, where you can shop and eat till your heart is content. Head back up the hill and be treated and listed to by the wonderfully warm and engaging team.

A must do in Adelaide atleast one in your life.
