Testimonials

beautiful views and one-on-one service
I am a sucker for elegance, beautiful views and one-on-one service, so if you are too, this is the place for you! Set over the rolling Adelaide Hills this venue offers a beautiful setting in the outdoors, as well as the beautifully presented indoors. The wine cellar is also worth a visit.

A superb degustation meal
A superb degustation meal with many courses. We arrived at 6pm and spent nearly 4 hours over it. Spacing it out like that was great, allowed the food to settle. We got the non-alcoholic drinks pairing which was equally delicious, interesting and creative. Beautiful food - taste & presentation. Lovely setting and great service. Was a lovely lovely night.

we will certainly be back to try the dinner menu
My fiancé and I booked in for a cute little high tea to celebrate our engagement. It was our first time visiting Hardy’s and I can say we were very impressed. The food was delicious, the staff were lovely and very welcoming. The venue is absolutely stunning and it was a perfect day to go for a stroll through the gardens. 10/10 guys we will certainly be back to try the dinner menu

Absolutely Magnificent
An absolutely magnificent selection of morsels for afternoon tea, all made with locally sourced food, in house. An experience rounded off beautifully by magnificent views and a glass of the delicious Estate bubbles. A sublime afternoon.

Enjoyed the experience
Part of our inclusive stay at sequoia was dinner at the Hardys Verandah restaurant with a multi course meal and wine pairings. The wines were beautifully paired with each course. Thoroughly enjoyed every course.
