Mount Lofty House Adelaide Hills

What can I say, an exceptional stay. We had a truly wonderful, Christmastime experience. Aussie summer Christmas is beautiful, yet for two days it was cool on the Mountain and the clouds hovered giving that North American winter feel. Then the sun came out for the final two days so the best of both worlds. The staff are impeccable! Thank you Amelia, for an exceptional welcome! Shaun Watson is a legend who holds true knowledge and knows how to elegantly treat guests while being a resource for his staff. Thank you Abass, your knowledge is impeccable and thank you Simone, your presentation and care was fabulous. Rebekkah, you have an incredible team! Thank you. J&T

My stay at Mount Lofty House Estate was nothing short of exceptional. From the breathtaking property and its stunning views to the luxurious rooms that felt like a home away from home, every detail was impeccable. The staff's friendliness and warmth truly made the experience unforgettable. The food was divine, each meal a culinary delight. Celebrating my 30th birthday here was a dream come true, and I am already planning my return. Highly recommended for couples seeking a serene getaway! Thank you to the Mount Lofty House Estate team for a memorable birthday.

Me and my girlfriend came here for a birthday dinner at the hardys verandah restaurant, And the both of us couldn’t be anymore happy with not only the food but the outstanding service that was given, the manager who unfortunately I forgot his name. You especially are what makes customers come back. To the minute we walked in, we were greeted by you. While waiting for the last part of our dinner we were offered a walk around, showing us the history of this beautiful place. It’s quite amazing. Food was exceptional, and your staff are amazing at what they do. To the manager and his amazing team. Thank you, we will definitely be coming back. And I myself will be recommended this place to friends and family. Thank you

Wonderful place! We stayed for our anniversary and couldn't be happier with our experience. Staff were so attentive, loved the card waiting in our room congratulating us on our anniversary and the cute chocolate plate with our dinner in Hardy's Verandah's restaurant doing the same. Highly recommend the history tour of the estate, Chris was great and kept us entertained (and drinks full). Beautiful area, room was clean and homey. Loved the parting gift of cookies & book on Mount Lofty Estate.

We had our wedding at Mount Lofty House in April 2023 and we could not have asked for a better experience. Evelyn, the wedding coordinator, was a superstar; responsive, accommodating, professional, and caring. We cannot fault a single element, the day went off without a hitch and the advice and suggestions during planning made for a once in a lifetime experience at Adelaide's best wedding venue and our personal favourite local stay. Thanks for everything Evelyn and team!

No words to explain how beautiful this place is. We had a 3 day conference here during 19-21st Feb 2023, and I have nothing but complements. From unbelievably friendly hospitality to most amazing mouth watering food, Mount Loftus House can be recommended to anyone without hesitation. The place inherits a rich culture, which you can feel when walking inside. Outside, the hotel is surrounded by breathtaking Adelaide Hills. Make sure to watch the sunrise from the balcony to witness the best sunrise you’ll ever see in your life.

Cleanliness is also next to nothing. Couldn't find any issues to mention about.

Keep up the good work!

Amazing weekend away! Luxury and attention to detail at its finest! Happily recommend it to couples looking for a weekend escape

We spent 15mins with clement. He was so generous with his knowledge. Incredible evening. Would highly recommend.

Outstanding service at a breathtaking venue

Mount Lofty House is an exquisite hotel, well deserving of it 5 star rating.
Its interior and artworks are sublime with numerous delightful spaces to get away from the house's bustle.

The staff were incredible. We felt so pampered from the moment we arrived until we left, and Chris was an absolute stand-out member of the service team.

Breakfast was excellent but I would skip the restaurant and bistro (only due to the food). The former was mediocre for the price and the later was poor. However, this does not reflect on the hotel itself which was a fantastic stay.

You get what you pay for. The the hotel is beautiful and amazing and stunning and.well you get the picture, we love it. However for me, this is not what made our anniversary weekend away memorable. It was the staff, from Cia on the front desk to William behind the bar, from Simone the sommelier (whom remembered us from a year ago) to Christopher and Kung in the dining area for breakfast. The service is impeccable and all the staff are polite and exceptionally attentive. They cannot do enough for you. The food too is an experience that is a must. Like I said, you get what you pay for! It's next level dining and although it's seems pricey, you will not regret it.
We love coming here. To step away from the rush of the world into complete picturess, relaxation is a rare thing. Spend that little extra, you won't regret it.

My daughter was married there this year in October and it was absolutely beautiful they took care of all my daughters needs the ceremony and staff were beautiful thank you so much Mt Lofty House

I really loved it! The weather was pitch perfect for a picnic the flowers were in bloom and so colourful, though you have to go on a little bit of an adventure to find them. But that's what makes Mount Lofty so fun.

Wow, what a memorable experience.
A brief step back in time, gloriously restored mansion, spectacular valley views, attentive & thoughtful staff, coupled with gastromically delightful food.

Pinot Cottage is disappointing and overpriced. I would guess it was staff accommodation at some point. The furniture is old and battered. The floors and outdoor areas are wood and need varnishing or ideally, replacing. It’s too far from the main house to walk. They will come and pick you up, which is fine but not ideal. On the plus side the beds were comfortable.

Had the most wonderful 1-night stay here. Our only regret was not staying for 2! Highly recommend you participate in the 5pm introductory talking tour (free) as there is so much history to this site and rooms you won’t get to see otherwise. You also get a sense of the passion all the staff have for their place of work. Excellent experience. Oh, and a super comfortable bed!

This was our second stay. We opted for the Sequioa suites which are magnificent.the staff is amazing both at the House and the Sequioa. Friendly, accomidating and genuinely amazing service.they are certainly very generous with what they offer.it feels like you have gone back in time where treating people was important. The facilicties are amazing could not fault it. Pure luxury and felt like we had escaped from life for a while. I have travelled extensively and it was as good as some of the beautiful hotels we have stayed in Europe.would totally recommend staying.

We absolutely loved our stay at Mt Lofty House. Every staff member we came across provided professional service. The dinner at Hardy Verandah was amazing. As was breakfast with a beautiful view over the hills. We will definitely be back again, it would've been great to have time for a hike and a massage too.

Outstanding service that is evident from the time one walks through the front door.
Welcomed with complimentary drinks including delicious Mulled Wine.
Our room was lovely & in keeping will the style of Mount often house. Yummy cookies baked on site was a nice surprise along with a complimentary bottle of Mount Lofty Bubbles.
The 5 pm free House Tour is a MUST. Again free pre-dinner drinks were available. Dinner at The Hardy's Verandah Resturant was an amazing experience. We opted for the 4 course a la carte meal which was scrumptious.
After a comfortable night's sleep we proceeded tp The Piccadily Room for a lovely breakfast included in the overnight stay. Great views!
Checking out was a pleasure especially when being presented with a hard back book of the history of Mount Lofty House.
Highly recommend a stay here.

Great service and views are outstanding. Nice clean rooms with beautiful gardens and helpful staff.

Excellent. Great service. Stunning building with large, well appointed rooms. The views differ so be conscious of that when booking. We stayed in a garden view room which actually has nice views than the valley room views at the moment as there is construction taking place in that direction. Restaurants on site are great and there’s a fantastic pub in Crafers only 3 minutes drive away if you do want something different. Highly recommend.
