Mount Lofty House Boutique Estate

We have stayed at Mount Lofty House a number of times and we try to do so every year. The highlight of our stay this year was the History Tour conducted by Christopher. We really enjoyed learning about the history of the House while having our delicious mulled wine and the famous Mount Lofty cookies. We also met some really lovely people during the tour and enjoyed their company. Dinner and breakfast were fantastic. We really enjoyed toasting marshmallows on an open fire outside after dinner. We are looking forward to returning for another stay soon.

Amazing property and house, with oustanding staff, excellent food and first rate wine list and cellar. 10/10 experience

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.
