About the Hotel
We are an iconic designer 5 STAR boutique hotel in the Adelaide Hills famous for our luxury escapes, three hat fine dining restaurant, indulgent day spa experiences, conference retreats and breathtakingly beautiful weddings. Mount Lofty House was built in 1852 by prominent statesman Arthur Hardy as his summer house. Arthur Hardy is reminiscent of a South Australian Jay Gatsby; indeed his wife Martha described their lifestyle as ‘a kind of feudal splendour’. Their beautiful manor soon became the state’s premier address for lavish and infamous parties for Adelaide’s elite of the day. From such lofty beginnings the manor was passed through a number of South Australian families, including a period as commune in the 1970s. In the disastrous 1983 fires of Ash Wednesday Mount Lofty House was burnt to the ground before rising from the ashes like a phoenix to truly become one of South Australia’s great icons.

Reviews for Mount Lofty House Boutique Estate
A very special experience
Mt Lofty House is ideal for celebrating a special occasion. My husband and I stayed there for 2 nights to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary and my 60th birthday. We thoroughly enjoyed the history tour with champagne cocktails and we had meals in both restaurants which were delicious. The gardens are beautiful and lovely to sit with a drink and enjoy the views. There is also plenty places to visit in the surrounding towns.

Luxuriously Relaxing Escape
We keep returning on a regular basis because we love the elegance and comfort of the Mount Lofty building and the rooms. The staff in every area are so professional and friendly. The views over Piccadilly Valley are amazing as is the display of artwork throughout. The food is excellent and we are always made to feel so welcome and special.

Wonderful Experience
Our 3-night stay at Mt Lofty House again provided a fantastic experience. This was our 3rd visit, and we will definitely be returning. Hardy's Veranda Restaurant is a must try experience for any food and/or wine lover. The magnificent location and views just top off a magical experience.

We loved our stay
The bed was luxurious - pillows also. Bathroom huge with spa bath. The pool very inviting. The history amazing. The staff fabulous. Property is next to Mt Lofty Botanical Gardens - very handy. Everything was very clean and comfortable and quiet. The property is wonderful.

Serious summit satisfaction
An experience everyone should encounter. The standard and personalised service was second to none. The Management and team were excellent. I really can't rate the experience we had highly enough. Having access to the beautiful Adelaide Hills and surrounds is magical in itself. But to have the level of luxury and professional service to return home to every night was outstanding.
