Sequoia

A amazing retreat to soak up the views of the Adelaide Hills after a day of exploring the local towns and vineyards, or even a day in the city. I was lucky enough to enjoy a nights stay at Sequoia Lodge and wow I was blown away just how beautifully unique this place is. All the spacious suites have views over the valley below and designed to allow you to fully take in this view whether it’s on the balcony or inside in front of the fire (was winter when I stayed). We had dinner at Mount Lofty house an intimate experience and so different to Sequoia well worth thinking about a night at each if staying a few nights. In the morning we got to enjoy yoga at sunrise before having a dip in the hot pools exquisitely cooked breakfast. I don’t think any of our group were ready to check out and wished we had second night to enjoy Sequoia.

A wonderful few days at Sequoia Lodge. Great service, amazing views and so close to everything. Would definitely return. From the moment we arrived until we left the attention to detail from the very dedicated staff was very impressive. Thank you!

We had an incredible stay at Sequoia. From the moment we walked in nothing was too much trouble for anybody at anytime. The place is amazing, the rooms and the view are perfect. We did the inclusive stay and the food matched the property - it was exquisite. We have already looked at dates to come back and stay again. Highly recommend.

From the moment the gates open and you enter this serene sanctuary you can do nothing more than take a deep breath, before trying to take it all in at once, and saying out loud, "How Good Is This?!" The greeting you receive on arrival is second to none, your bags are collected and magically find their way to your room. You are escorted to reception for welcome drinks where the views are equally as good as the rooms and you immediately relax. Before arriving a guest relation person has already helped you with an itinerary - from star gazing, nature walks, wine and cheese tasting, to a relaxing picnics in the grounds. I'd highly recommend adding a service from the Gatekeepers Day Spa and the Degustation dinner at Hardy's Restaurant. Also don't forget to try the Gnocchi in the Sequoia Lodge restaurant - once you try it you'll be trying to recreate it at home. If I felt I could lick the plate in such a high class place I would have! It was that good. lol The wonderful thing about Sequoia is that they support local business and produce so all the food and products are locally made or produced - even the artwork throughout the property. I hope to be able to visit again and partake in the lovely Section 28 gnocchi dish - almost the highlight of my trip short of Charlie the koala who really put on a lovely display for us. It was great to unwind and relax in such beautiful surroundings and with such attentive and kind staff.

Sequoia lodge is located at Mount Lofty in the Adelaide hills and works are a really good base to access local restaurants, wineries and activities. The on site facilities are great, rooms are top class, staff are friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend staying here for a couple of nights to unwind.
