the amazing Mount Lofty House
My husband and I celebrated our birthdays and our 43rd wedding anniversary at the amazing Mount Lofty House. The attentive staff made every moment enjoyable from reservation through to departure. Seemingly effortless service catered to our every need. We met wonderful guests and felt very welcome. Our dining experience at HVR was incredible and memorable. My dietary needs were met without fuss or compromise. A bonus treat for me at the Gatekeepers Day Spa was so relaxing. Highest praise for all staff at this wonderful South Australian luxury retreat.

A truly memorable stay
First time to South Australia and we did it as a road trip. We spent two nights in the Adelaide Hills at Mount Lofty House and absolutely loved it. The staff were brilliant, genuinely funny and so welcoming. Breakfast was served in a beautiful setting overlooking spectacular views, and afternoon cocktails in the garden were a highlight. We really enjoyed the history tour of the house as well. The choc chip cookies were a definite favourite and it was such a beautiful touch to receive the book on departure.
