Discover the Adelaide Hills with a curated luxury stay at Mount Lofty House estate
The 30-acre estate in the Adelaide Hills offers the luxury of space , privacy and exclusivity . Known for its spectacular rolling hills and premium wine and produce , the region is quickly becoming a popular choice for Australians looking for an escape from everyday life .
Locally owned and operated , Mount Lofty House is ideally located within an hour of the five finest wine regions in Australia – Adelaide Hills , Barossa Valley , McLaren Vale , Eden and Clare
Valleys . With the airport only 30 minutes away , a trip door to door from Sydney or Melbourne will take less time than the Hunter or Yarra Valleys . A bastion for old-fashioned hospitality , guests feel like celebrities from the moment they arrive ; so much so they often ask if the hotel has mistaken them for someone else . The team at the Gatsby-esque estate contact each guest before they arrive to craft a bespoke itinerary .
