Testimonials

Bliss in Winter
Well chosen staff, emphasis on local products, meticulous attention to details of the furnishings and the genuine efforts to create a magical experience made us proud to share the experience with so many interstate visitors. We've experienced Sequoia in Summer and now the House in mid-winter with the mists swirling and warming log fires - marvellous.

Stunning venue and location
What a stunning location! While the weather wasn't on our side, Mount Lofty House didn't disappoint. The rooms are well appointed, spacious and feel like you're in a home away from home. With fireplaces in every corner, you'll always feel cosy in winter.
