Wonderful staff. Beautiful estate and a nice and quiet location in the hills. Very enjoyable
Amazing! Beautiful location, spectacular views, great walks, lovely gardens, food excellent, accommodation wonderful, staff very professional, helpful and friendly, what more can I say!
This is beautiful old style property is great history. The food is exceptional and the staff are friendliest you will find. They all seem to take great pride work at this special place.
We spent two night had high tea, a massage at the spa and some really delicious food as well as the house tour. Everything was so well done with such caring people.
Beautiful boutique hotel. Mount lofty house is such an iconic place to visit in Adeliade. The Piccadilly Valley view room is gorgeous with a million dollars view.
The staffs are amazing, always made sure you are well look after. Amazing place and services. Breakfast and fine dining is excellent. I would definitely recommend to anyone who loves nature and enjoy good food
Excellent Hotel excellent service not sure about Hotels.com probably won’t book with them ever again after the trouble we had with the other hotels that we booked with them
Everything was just perfect from the minute we arrived. We were given champagne on arrival, bags beat us to our room from the car. The welcome drink and history of the house was amazing -Chris was fantastic! Food was to die for and our room was just gorgeous. I could not fault anything in our stay and wished it was longer.
A nice, historic building with friendly staff and an impeccable location. The botanic gardens adjoining are a real treasure. The food was a letdown though - high tea service was slow, we had to ask to be served after 30 minutes (even to choose tea). The sandwiches were made on stale bread. Surprisingly poor since the Verandah restaurant is highly rated. Room was well laid out and practical.

Staff were lovely and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and very grateful for the extra help on check out day to prepare for a family wedding - thank you. Pool and grounds are beautiful. Breakfast and breakfast room were excellent - beautiful views over the valley. Didn't enjoy dinner in Martha's restaurant so much though. Short, fixed price menu of two or three courses - fine dining prices. Only one vegetarian option for each course - burrata and leaves for entree and a vegetarian pasta for main. Opted for the seafood options instead (seemed better value for $100 a head). But didn't enjoy either - v strong flavours overwhelmed the fish in both cases. Suggested wine pairing was excellent though - many thanks to the sommelier. MLH is a great place to stay and/or dine to celebrate a one time special occasion (as many fellow guests were), but not sure about repeat visitors or solo travellers (as I was). If you're visiting Australia from somewhere else, MLH will give you a sense of Australia and historic South Australia - definitely consider staying - you won't be sorry.
We had the most incredible stay at Mount Lofty Estate. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, the food was amazing and our room was absolutely beautiful.
Everything was great! Staff, welcome, room, 3 course dinner in the Martha Hardy room, and of course the unrivaled location in the Adelaide Hills. William was very enthusiastic in giving us the historical information on the house tour. The complimentary champagne was a bonus. It’s a special place to stay.
Iam a cleaner by trade i just pointed out some missed spots in the room that had not been cleaned i.e top of shower head dust and skin, and shower drain was caked in mold, there was also thick layer of dust around circular light feature and dust on top of bed frame. Other then that pleasent stay
