An excellent stay at Mount Lofty it doesn't disappoint. A warm welcome with a glass of bubbles and we loved Room 8 right by the garden pool and perfect for the hot weather. Nothing was too much trouble from Christopher and the team. Thank you, we will be back.

CGottschalk83 1/21/2026 TripAdvisor review

First time to South Australia and we did it as a road trip. We spent two nights in the Adelaide Hills at Mount Lofty House and absolutely loved it. The staff were brilliant, genuinely funny and so welcoming. Breakfast was served in a beautiful setting overlooking spectacular views, and afternoon cocktails in the garden were a highlight. We really enjoyed the history tour of the house as well. The choc chip cookies were a definite favourite 🤣 and it was such a beautiful touch to receive the book on departure. A truly memorable stay.
