Adelaide Hills Retreats

Stayed in villa lemoni. Beautiful and picturesque location, great amenities, has everything you need!

This is our second visit to Mandy & Steve’s luxury villas and we wish we could move in! What a slice of heaven. Villa Lemoni is cosy and homely with touches of luxury like underfloor heating, a huge spa bath, the most comfortable king size bed and stunning views of the private gardens - particularly beautiful in autumn! The breakfast provisions are so generous you barely have the need to leave the house. We enjoyed multiple nights curled up in front of the fireplace and days enjoying the garden and peacefulness of the area. If you are after a relaxing and indulgent escape to the hills, look no further. We can’t wait to return here again. Thanks Mandy & Steve! ~ Dani

Can't recommend this place enough. We stayed at the Lemoni Villa and it was as beautiful as the photos. The property is very tranquil, the owners were lovely. The house is beautifully decorated and equipped with every comfort you could desire. A two person spa with rain shower head above, a fireplace, nespresso machine, a fridge full of local goodies all surrounded by a beautiful garden and a little lemon farm.

My husband and I stayed at The Nest for 2 nights after our wedding last week and we absolutely LOVED it! We arrived very late after our wedding and Steve and Mandy had the heater going and the heated bathroom tiles on for our arrival, which was a lovely touch. They have thought of every single detail here, and we didn’t have to leave for anything. It was the perfect space to relax in. The views of the hills are incredible and there is so much space to relax outside. The breakfast provisions were extremely generous, we couldn’t finish it all over the 2 days! We wish we got to spend more time there! We will absolutely be back. Thank you so much Steve and Mandy for going above and beyond and making our stay so special

We were initially unsure about choosing this place to stay as it was one of the more expensive options we were looking at. In the end we decided to splurge a bit and chose the Nest. That proved to be a great decision! The Nest completely exceeded the expectations we had from the website and reviews and it couldn't really have been better.

It's situated in a lovely spot with well kept gardens. This positioning gives a secluded feel with lots of privacy but still has excellent views. All the main things you'd want from a place like this are there, and there are a lot of little touches that top it all off. The owners will enthusiastically fulfil any reasonable request but also completely stay out of your way, so the secluded feeling isn't broken. They were excellent hosts, and happily catered to our gluten free needs.

There are plenty of wineries around (including the very picturesque Cobbs Hill Estate right at the end of the road) as well as towns with pubs and restaurants. Nothing was more than 10 mins in the car, though there are even more options if you're prepared to range further out.

Beautiful, superbly clean & all little things thought of by delightfully lovely people. Very pretty spot.

We really love this place. Been here a few times and is always exceptional. Great attention to detail. Beautiful part of SA with plenty to do in the area.

Tranquil, secluded, snug, relaxing retreat, amazing breakfast provisions. Made so welcome on arrival. Highly recommend to order a platter for your stay! Loved every moment celebrating our 3rd wedding anniversary.

Beautiful accommodation in a stunning setting. Mandy had catered for our every need and was so lovely to communicate with. We loved our stay and we’re grateful for the generous brekky that was included! We will be back:)

Its like a second home. So comfy and welcoming. My partner and I would love to come back with our 1 year old some time

Beautiful, well appointed, romantic get away. Excellent provisions. Relaxing, restful and peaceful. Can't wait to go back

It's beautiful and clean, everything is great quality and fantastic service. Will be coming back in the future

Absolutely beautiful place I would highly recommend it. It's great for romantics bird watching and koalas or just kicking back and relaxing

Probably the best accommodation at adelaide hills, near to bird in hand winery, handorf, mt.lofty and barossa! Good stay. Clean. Warm. Welcoming. Relaxing.

Amazingly beautiful, best accommodation in Adelaide Hills by far. Spacious & clean, close to wineries and other local producers. We will be back for a return stay ASAP.

Absolutely wonderful. We had our honeymoon in gum tree cottage and we had the most wonderful time. Soft music playing and heater on for arrival (it was winter) wood provided for wood fire. Delicious breakfast goods for every morning of stay - local balhannah bacon was a big hit. Beautiful cosy "old world" decor. And the scenery is breath taking and lots to do in the local area such as Hahndorf, the Beerenberg Farm, Birdwood Motor Museum, Melba's chocolate factory and the town of Strathalbyn.

Stayed at The Nest.
A beautiful place for a romantic weekend.
House was well kitted out.
Quiet and private space, loved it.

Amzing, magnificent, and Charming experience.
Everything was ready in the room, food, fire woods, appliances, and even bird feeds.
We spent the most amazing anniversary in our life here. Steve the owner even brought us a special gift for our stay.
Thank you and be back Soooon

My wife and I have been to these cottages a few times now and we can't speak highly enough of the service and the time we spend there is just so relaxing and peaceful.
