Mount Lofty House Boutique Estate

Adeladies Book Club 10 year celebration. Group of 6 ladies stayed for four nights. Our rooms were incredible. The food the Service and the wines all 10 out of 10 we could not fault our stay in anyway.. The staff were incredibly helpful. We did the degustation the high tea yoga. The history walk breakfast in the morning were amazing and walks. Would definitely recommend to stay here. We will be back.

There was nothing about this accommodation that was negative. The staff were fantastic at looking after us and going above and beyond to ensure our comfort. Bubbles and cookies on arrival, high tea and the amazing view of Adelaide at breakfast were highlights. If you get a chance, book Martha Hardy's and High Tea in advance. Lots of beautiful spots with fireplaces to sit, heaps of books in the library and marshmallow toasting in the fire pit on a clear night. Absolutely beautiful place.

We've had several memorable stays over the years, but Peter's ongoing chemo treatment has seriously curtailed any visits until he said "Enough - it's time we took time out". So in mid-winter we spent two precious days in a Piccadilly Room with views over the valley, Mt Lofty and the Ranges. From the minute we were greeted at our car on arrival, luggage whisked away to our room, a welcoming mulled wine at Reception, we were surrounded with peace and luxury in such a historic setting. Guests can gather at 4.30 pm in front of a real log fire in the Library where Guest Relations Manager Christopher delivers a brilliantly crafted story about the House's beginnings, original owners Arthur and Martha Hardy, the bushfire which razed the house, it's resurrection by a local architect, followed by a tour of the rarely seen parts of the building, especially the wine cellars and the origin of their tunnels. Nothing is too much trouble, the staff are genuinely caring and this shows in a friendly camaraderie which develops among guests. The meals are stunning, the adjacent Botanic Gardens worth exploring, and Christopher's "Adelaide Hills Adventure" brochure offers a map of surrounding Must See producers with special offers available to House guests. Looking forward to a Summer visit.

Our entire stay along with the experiences at Mt Lofty House far exceeded our expectations. We have been spoilt so no other venue will ever be comparable. On arrival Christopher & William greeted us, Christoper collected our luggage from our car and delivered it to our room. Later Chris entertained us with stories during the history tour. Fraser ensured that our dining experiences were phenomenal, and he was assisted by Nico and Pauline in the Verandah Restaurant, along with several others. To the Ladies Ivanka and Skye at the Gatehouse SPA who provided us with a memorable and decadent experience, Thank you. The Bar staff who mixed our drinks, Kye our Sommelier at the Verandah restaurant and then Christopher during the house tour, all made sure that when our glasses were empty, we would be presented with an opportunity to top them up. All the other staff who unfortunately we can't recall their names, treated us as friends and were only too happy to answer our questions, or ensure that we were not left wanting. We will be back for more, Thank You all.

Overnight at Mount Lofty House is truly a must do in Adelaide! The home is elegant and beautifully maintained with sweeping views of the Valley. The Martha Hardy restaurant is 5 star dining with a wonderful menu and excellent service. Breakfast in the restaurant is also a must do as the service, food and views are spectular. Treat yourself and your loved one to a massage and facial at Gatekeepers Spa too. Its truly a wonderful way to spend a morning.
