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

Excellence, across the board.

Reviewed 2 days ago

A fantastic, luxurious and comforting escape; stunning surrounds and experience all over. Bed was magnificently comfortable, room temp just right. Food and service at dinner were all perfect, and the location and views for our family birthday were all memorable and ideal. Will be back for sure.

Outstanding experience

Reviewed 5 days ago

From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome and ensured that our experience was nothing short of outstanding. The attention to detail and the professionalism of the team were immediately evident. The staff were not only friendly but also knowledgeable, offering helpful recommendations and assisting with any questions I had about the menu and the facilities. Their warmth and attentiveness truly elevated my experience. The free history tour hosted by the customer relations manager is a plus and highly recommended. Thank you once again to everyone at Lofty House. We will certainly be recommending your venue to friends and family, and we look forward to returning soon.

The best luxury hotel in SA!

Reviewed 6 days ago

Mount lofty house is our favourite hotel to stay at in SA. The grounds and property are stunning as are the hospitable staff who look after you whilst you are there. This is our 5th time staying on the property. Highly recommend that you book an appointment in at the day spa and if you can splash out you need to stay at Sequoia - there is no other level of accommodation experience like this in SA.

Relaxing and Action packed at the same time.

We had a short stay just 2 nights, recommend longer. From check in to check out the Staff were amazing, they all appear to enjoy their work. The estate is beautiful and has so much for you to do hiking trails, swimming pool, garden, reading, eating, drinking, history tour, or relaxing at the Day Spa. They have some great exclusive tours around the area as well.
