Very comfortable getaway
Pros:

Great location and very comfortable/well appointed rooms

Cons:

The breakfast could do with the addition of say a greek yohurt/dairy - particularly as the guests seem to be typically on the older side and additional protein/calcium is important. Also felt that the common areas could have been warmer.

Classy vibes and fab team
Pros:

Loved the host Christopher and the generous pours on welcome, on tour and at the bar. Adelaide Hills know their drinky poos.

Classy old dame of a building nestled in the winter fog. Delightful.

Check out the cellar, its kind of amazing.

Chef is a gem, very happy to be out and about chatting to everyone and makes dishes that melt in your mouth.

Cons:

Somme, not sure why he wanted to talk badly about other members of the team. Hoping its a rare occurrence.

Adelaide Surprised Us
Pros:

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.
