“Fabulous Getaway - We will be back (again).”

Reviewed 7 May 2012

We recently stayed at the AHCC for the fourth time, and each time we come to visit it makes us want to return again. The moment the car turns into Oakwood Road we start to relax. We stayed in the Villa, as we did last year for a family wedding. From strolling around the garden, to sitting outside in the... More

“Our favourite retreats”

Reviewed 7 May 2012

We have visited cottages on several occasions both celebratory and as an escape from the grind of our busy suburban lives. We first stayed in the Nest and have also enjoyed both the Villa and Lavender Fields. We have always been impressed by the attention to detail provided within these cottages but none more so than the serenity and privacy... More

“The Villa- nice but not too special”

Reviewed 5 March 2012

How much you like Adelaide Hills Country Cottages seems to depend on which cottage you stay in. We stayed one night at the Villa after our other accommodation was double booked and at $295 a night thought it was a bit expensive. The Villa is set in a lovely location but is pretty much a previously renovated 1970's house. It... More

We have just returned to WA from a short holiday in SA. We had booked 2 nights in the beautiful Lavender Fields with it's French provincial feel and fell in love with the entire property to the point that we lost our money on accommodation booked elsewhere in order to return to AHCC. This time we spent 2 nights at... More

Hi Jayne and Gordon, Wow, now that's a testimonial, foregoing accommodation you had already paid for so you could stay longer. Two nights just isn't enough :) Thank you for your wonderful review of your stay at both Lavender Fields and then Apple Tree Cottage. Even though they are both quite different experiences, I love the way you put it...... More

We stayed in the Villa for two nights and it was very dsappointing. The setting for the Villa is wonderful but that is where it stops. On opening the door we were overwhelmed by the stale smell of the open fire. It premeated the whole room and even opening the windows could not disapate it. The weather was exremely hot... More

Dear 49scorpio, Thank you for your feed back about your stay in The Villa. Sorry for the delay in responding as I missed the notification. Yes you are right, the weather was very hot at that time but we are disappointed that we weren't told straight away that you were having trouble with the ducted reverse cycle air conditioning so...

“And they are still truly Delightful!”

Reviewed 5 January 2012

We have stayed in Gum Tree Cottage, Apple Tree Cottage and Lavender Fields Cottage but must find the time to spend a few nights at The Villa and The Nest to complete the package. Ten years ago we all spent Christmas at the Gum Tree Cottage and my girls still talk about it! This year my daughter stayed at Lavender... More

It was truly a pleasure to have you stay with us once again with you daughter, who had previously stayed as a child, and now returning with her own family.

“Idyllic - Paradise found!”

Delightful cottage - we stayed at Gum Tree Cottage for 1 week - sublime, perfect situation and as we are bird watchers - what a treat to wake to the dawn chorus from Rosella's, Honeyeaters and Fair-wrens tapping on the kitchen window. Ideal cottage for a couple and very private, with glorious views over the countryside. As previous reports have... More

“Paradise in the Hills!”

Reviewed 26 August 2011

We stayed at the Gum Tree Cottage w/ our almost 2yr old son and let's just say it was heaven on earth. The cottage was perfect for what we wanted. Two bedrooms. Double spa bath. Excellent kitchen facilities (no oven though). They had thought of everything! There were even chocolates for us and a decanter of port. Firewood was all... More

My husband and I have stayed at Lavender Fields cottage several times now and it is by far our favourite place to relax and unwind. The owners are always warm and welcoming, then leave you alone to give you total privacy. The location is stunning, the cottage is romantic and gorgeous. Secluded, quiet, very private and yet so close to... More

“Step outside the rat race”

Reviewed 28 August 2010

We stayed 2 nights and truly wished we'd stayed our whole long long weekend there. If you are planning a trip to the hills, spend the "extra bit" and make this your home. Everything is pretty close and you can plan your days. You'll be tempted just to "hang around the house" though! The owners are lovely. They leave you... More
