Have read previous reviews and every person's experience is influenced by their expectations. Have just returned from a four day conference based in this Hotel and can only say it was first class. This place is like an Edwardian Country House with immense character, beautiful surroundings and superb service from the staff. Yes it has areas of worn carpet and... More

Mount Lofty House is a large rambling property constructed in stone. It's tucked away high in the Mount Lofty Range, it offers a peaceful and pleasant location for lovers of nature, or simply, lovers. The staff are extremely helpful, the restaurant is good, and the facilities such as a swimming pool, library, and generous sitting areas make up for one... More

This in a spectacular setting on top of the highest point (ie Mt Lofty) near Adelaide and the views are beautiful. For some time now the place has been in need of an upgrade and badly so. Carpets on stairs are threadbare in parts and bathroom in our room had what appeared to be mouldy tiles and H button missing... More

I stayed here on my wedding night about 6 years ago, and it was splendid - excellent room and excellent service. I stayed here again last night for someone else's wedding. The place has gone to the dogs. Hardly any staff, tragic room, leaking roof and a real rip off. The only thing really going for the place is the... More

On arriving views spectacular and hotel exterior lovely. front of house very dusty carpet edgers need good vacuum and cornices discoloured needing a good clean. First appearance poor. Room had a foul musty smell and it evident that a water leakage had not been addresses by housekeeping> We refused the room. More

Fortunately, it was purchased by a local couple with a vision to restore the house into a boutique hotel without equal. No expense was spared... More

We stayed in what the staff called a Heritage room which was not up to Mecure standard, very small room, even smaller bathroom with a shower with no hob which flooded the bathroom floor with every use. No window in the room, the back patio was littered with cigarette butts. Staff were friendly, restaurant was okay, not special enough to... More

Fantastic scenery and the restaurant food was excellent. Despite a separate wedding and reception being on at the same time, it was quiet and the service was spot on. We enjoyed the garden walks and the mist in the valley first thing in the morning was beautiful. We'll be back again! More

First, the pluses - Fabulous location, historic house, beautiful gardens, friendly and helpful staff, comfortable room, billiard room, had my favorite 18yo scotch, panoramic views The average - checked out the wine list online to choose a bottle before dinner as Lyn has pointed out that checking out wine on my Halliday's iPhone app is a bit anti-social and who...
