HARDY'S VERANDAH RESTAURANT

Built in 1852 for Arthur Hardy, the house was his summer residence, but it also became a venue for the most lavish parties. Today, the space has been transformed into SA's top restaurants true to the house's tradition of refinement, elegance and opulence.

Humberstone36 Couples - TripAdvisor review

We chose Mt Lofty House for its location, award winning restaurant and great reputation. Even knowing all that, our 3 night stay really exceeded our expectations. Wonderful, professional staff, a beautiful and lovingly cared for country house, very comfortable rooms and absolutely delicious meals. We barely left the property and returned home well-rested and nourished in every sense.

Dear Humberstone36, It was our absolute pleasure to welcome you for a relaxing and luxurious 3 night stay at the stunning Mount Lofty Estate. It is truly wonderful to hear that we exceeded expectations, we pride ourselves on delivering good old-fashioned hospitality and making every guest feel like they have come ‘home’. Thank you so much for the kind words about our dedicated team, reviews like this really mean the world to us and I cannot wait to share this with them. I so hope we are able to welcome you back again soon. Kindest regards Christopher and the Mount Lofty Estate Family

Wonderful Mount Lofty House!

Carolyn W Couples - TripAdvisor review

Our stay for a Winter Getaway was perfect from the checkin to the service & food. We stayed two nights which was perfect & close to Handoorf & surrounding wineries to explore. On our next visit we plan to visit the Verandah restaurant which looked amazing

Dear Carolyn, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I am delighted that you had the perfect winter getaway and felt relaxed upon leaving us. We are so lucky to be ideally located in the stunning Adelaide Hills and nestled above the idyllic Piccadilly Valley, we really feel that we are located as the perfect gateway to explore the Adelaide Hills. Carolyn, I hope we can welcome you back again soon for a bit more R&R and of course Hardy’s Verandah Restaurant. Kindest regards Christopher and the Mount Lofty Estate Family
