It was one of the overall best accomodation packages we have ever had, everything was amazing, location, setting, rooms, friendly staff, food - everything was exceptional!!!!

The only negative we could come up with is the lack of al a carte menu options, as we did not want to do the degustation option, so therefore the food choices for an evening meal were very limited - so we would have liked to have an al a carte option in the premium restaurant area, but unfortunately that was not an option - but is saying that the food and service we did have was excellent, just limited options.

We loved the manor, the staff, the food, the atmosphere, the room, the view, everything. It's definitely worthwhile attending the welcome talk and tour. Not only do you get free booze but the talk and tour are very entertaining.

It'd be tricky to stay for more than one night as there really isn't anywhere to put your clothes (the wardrobe is ridiculously narrow). Also the bathroom vanity is too small and doesn't have enough counter space to put both a make-up bag and toiletries bag. I suggest you lose the useless bookcase and extend the bathroom. Instead of "gentleman's club" décor perhaps think Kathryn Hepburn's dressing room (1930s glamour).

Reception and welcome drinks was great, staff friendly and truly engaged and proud of the hotel. Breakfast was fantastic, with views to match Pre-dinner bar staff were friendly and well experienced with wines

Little things to do better, bathroom was well presented but noted the following: Shower, temperature fluctuated quite a bit from cool to very hot A heated towel rail would eliminate damp towels from previous night, reduce laundry etc.

Went for a special treat with my teenage autistic son. Christmas present to myself. For 1 night. We were treated like like royalty. From the time we drove up we were spoilt with exceptional service. Ollie was respectfully spoken to and interacted wirh and he spent hrs in the gorgeous pool whilst I got to totally switch off and be a lounge lizard. Ordering drinks and food by the pool! What a treat. Delicious dinner, fabulous bed, dream cooked breakfast in bed. Late check out, home baked cookies and a beautiful hardcover book covering the history of the house as a parting gift. Thank you for a magical stay.

What is not to love about this gorgeous place! I can not think of one thing that could be improved upon. The staff were amazing and so happy to assist in every way. The facilities are perfect and the place is breathtaking. The room is gorgeous and full of character. It is one of the most perfect places to stay.

There is nothing that I could think of that could be improved!

I liked that the property is situated high in the Adelaide Hills with a stunning valley aspect and sits next to the Botanic Gardens. the building has a lot of history and has been restored to a high standard. A very informative history and tour of the building was a big plus. A wonderful view and delicious food at Martha’s restaurant in the morning. A very enjoyable start to the day.

The first morning we had a table that kept tipping over. Service was friendly and food was good. Views from the dining room are lovely and it has a relaxed atmosphere.

Sunday morning breakfast was very slow, we had sat down and our order was taken for quite some time. It seemed like someone had forgotten because guests who came later than us were served earlier. It wasn’t really a problem as we were not in a hurry.

Beautiful restaurant setting and has lovely staff. Great location and is beautifully decorated. Martha's kitchen is a must-try. Overall, a personalised experience in a beautiful hotel. Highly recommended.

Depending on the room allocation, you might end up very noisy. They kindly moved me after the first night but I can't imagine staying in that room for the whole stay.

We knew this was an award winning hotel. But even so, it really exceeded our expectations. Faultless staff, a warm welcome, delicious meals, lovely Piccadilly Valley room, stunning artwork and breathtaking views. The Mt Lofty House owners and staff really earn the accolades they have achieved.
