Mount Lofty House is an exceptional property

julie w Couples - 2/9/2026 TripAdvisor review

Mount Lofty House is an exceptional property that completely exceeded our expectations. The location is breathtaking, with serene gardens that make the whole experience feel peaceful and secluded. Our room was magnificent—beautifully appointed, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. The food and wine were outstanding, showcasing the best of the region, and every meal felt special. What truly set our stay apart, though, was the staff. They were genuinely friendly, attentive, and exceptionally hospitable, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We’re already looking forward to returning—and next time, we’ll be staying longer. Mount Lofty House is a place you can’t help but want to come back to.

This is as good as it gets.

THE ULTIMATE LUXURIOUS GET AWAY FOR THE YOUNG AND NOT-SO-YOUNG!

danmagpie 2/4/2026 TripAdvisor review

We have BEEN LUCKY IN LIFE to stay at many of the nicest hotels and accommodation houses from Iceland to Azerbaijan. Mount Lofty House (in the Adelaide Hills) is the equal of any of them. It was our 40th Wedding Anniversary and we were looking for a quiet relaxing weekend away from all the noise and 'hype'. We think the accommodation, food, the service and the complimentary tour and the facilities are World Class! The reception was Warm, with champaigne and mini tour. The pool was Warm with Cocktails. The full sized Billiard Room transported us back to the 1830s and the guest rooms all luxuriously appointed. The Breakfast was as good as in Milan or Paris and the staff were so gracious, never intruding, but always 'there'. Our dinner at Marther Hardy's was so amazing, at finish, we were moved to visit the kitchen to congratulate Chef and his team. It was that good. We also recommend the 'pink gin' cocktail (more than one). The complimentary formal 'House Tour' was just great fun. The wine seller with $8,000 bottles on offer, and with secret military tunnels and evidence of the great fires. We cannot speak highly enough of the staff, the room, the food and the fun. We cannot wait to go back. It was our first time, but not the last time.

Dear danmagpie, Thank you sincerely for such an extraordinary and generous review. We are honoured that you chose Mount Lofty House to celebrate your 40th Wedding Anniversary! To be compared with some of the world’s finest hotels, especially given your remarkable travels, is a compliment we do not take lightly. We’re delighted to hear that your experience was everything you had hoped for and more! Your dinner at Martha Hardy’s clearly left a lasting impression and our team of Chefs will be thrilled to hear your praise, as will the team who looked after you throughout your stay. Thank you again for sharing such a heartfelt reflection. We very much look forward to welcoming you back. Kindest regards Christopher and the Mount Lofty Estate Family
