We stayed here for three nights and it gave us relaxation after a lot of touring. Warm welcome on arrival. High quality coffee machine and breakfast provisions. Loved the location, easy for walks, short drive in to nice little town of Sterling and caught bus from Sterling in to Adelaide. Summit of Mount Lofty and wildlife reserve a short drive away. Use of swimming pool was great, it is used by non-residents at times but equality we did have plenty of access to it. We loved our stay here, massive indoor space, lovely bathroom and beautiful location.

Although most of the property was exceptionally clean it was let down by quite a few cobwebs in the bedroom and courtyard areas were very neglected. Otherwise this place is a gem.

There is nothing more stressful then searching for accommodation online in a city you’ve never been before, the unknown of what to expect. The moment I drove into the driveway, I was beyond excited and could not wait to see what was awaiting me behind closed doors. This property is so beautiful and had such a warm feel, the perfect place for a leisurely stay. The lovely fresh produce provided for breakfast was such a treat and added the sweetest touch. I am so grateful for having the experience of staying in this beautiful home and I would highly recommend this to all of my family and friends.

There was nothing I didn’t like about this accomodation.

We loved the fact that we could join the two apartments and socialise together in the larger kitchen and outdoor terrace. The breakfast food provided was very good and we enjoyed having access to the indoor pool on site.

The convenient location is great for access to main roads but you can hear the motorway noise when outside in the garden.

The bathroom - have left having such bathroom/bathtub envy We were given beautiful food by the host in the fridge. The pool was awesome Absolutely everything about this place was exceptional. I could break it down but highly recommend everyone just to go and stay here for at least 1 night to experience this beautiful place themselves

Nothing. Everything was absolutely amazing!!

It’s always nice to find accommodation that surpasses your expectations. Comfortable, functional, private, beautifully decorated and full of surprises. Step straight out of the kitchen and into the pool.. a well maintained pool at that. Heating to keep the winter chills at bay, a luxurious bathroom complete with a shower big enough for four people if that’s your thing.. a comfortable bed, lovely linen and several of our own private outdoor areas… finding extra towels is always a game changer for me .. but finding a large, soft, comfy lounge that the two of us could actually ‘lounge’ in… was a true highlight… we will definitely return

Luxury in every sense from the bath and shower-for-two to the incredibly luxurious bed and everything you could want to cook your own breakfast - and amazing host too!

The only negative is an element of the location which although beautiful in Stirling is fairly close to the freeway (way above the freeway but still backing on to it); this means there is a faint buzz of cars and trucks in apartment 1 - closest to the fwy. But it’s location in proximity to exploring the Adelaide Hills makes up for this and apart from this issue it’s executive luxury all the way

Was a great location for exploring around the hills that is why we stayed there also the food provisions were great bacon egg's etc we had the balcony view apartment

The one thing we didn't like was how close it was to the freeway it was very noisy you could hear the traffic all the time very hard to sleep

It was spacious; quiet and private. You could easily stay for many days as it was equipped with cooking utensils; all the food staples. A marvellous De Longhi coffee machine. A huge bathroom. Excellent wifi. A lovely surprise was the the muffins upon arrival. Also, a lovely gas flame fire.

We had not realised that the freeway was down the hill. However, inside the apartment we could not hear noise.

Congratulations to the hosts on providing such a fully equipped and comfortable home from home. Very generous and delicious breakfast provisions. It was a delight to stay in an environment where the quality of crockery and cutlery were excellent. Beautiful outlook from our balcony apartment. Can’t recommend this property highly enough……

Cannot find any faults.

We loved the apartments and so lovely on the balcony looking into the beautiful gardens. The hosts do an incredible job and provide touches that make guest feel special and pampered. We really appreciated Bridgette giving us a late checkout when our Jetstar flight was changed. Very accommodating.

The only thing was the traffic noise from freeway nearby however this didn’t stop us having a wonderful getaway.
