I had read a number of articles about this hotel before travelling and thought that some of the negative comments may possibly be unjustified. Having stayed at the hotel for 6 nights over Christmas, a lot of those comments are warranted and a number improvements are needed to bring the hotel standards up to the surroundings. The location is superb.... more

The room that we were given was wedged up against the wall of the swimming pool with no view and which allowed very little light in unless the lights in the room were turned on. I returned to the reception desk to try to change rooms as we were staying for three days but the staff, who were fairly disinterested... more

Had a very pleasant one - night stay at this hotel. It is probably a 30 minute drive from Adelaide city centre. The hotel is set in beautiful surroundings, with great views of the countryside. In the evening it was just as memorable, sitting outside under the night-time sky with the stars appearing wonderfully clear and bright, because you are... more

We gave ourselves a couple of indulgent days at Mt Lofty House. This really is a lovely place. The rooms are large and each has a balcony or terrace of some kind, and the gardens are lovely to wander around. The staff was very helpful. The bathrooms were great (fantastic showers, super bath to relax in and the best fluffy... more

We stayed one night at Mount Lofty House in a Mountain Spa room which was furnished with old, tired furniture, a saggy bed and had a very strong and foul musty smell. We complained about the smell but were told that all the rooms smelled the same! The property really needs refurbishing -- rugs, furniture and walls are all very... more

Staff and management handled the rearrangements unprofesionally. To date no adequate explanation or apology have been received for the cancellations. Guests holiday retreats were ruined by the last minute cancellations. Alternative hotel provided... more

I was lucky enough to get a great deal from a Sunrise Deal. I had booked 2 rooms, 1 for my husband and myself and 1 for my daughter. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. Plenty of natural light and doors leading onto balconies. My daughters room was different but just as lovely, maybe not as big. We had dinner... more

My husband and I stayed at the Mount Lofty House for 3 nights in mid-March. Mount Lofty was our favorite hotel of our month-long trip and we're already planning our next trip back (and hope to stay longer this time!) Here's what we liked: * Location: beautiful scenery of Adelaide Hills yet very close to downtown Adelaide (15 min drive);... more

We overnighted in Adelaide itself after flying in for a weekend away. We drove up into the Adelaide Hills and did a few touristy things before booking in at Mount Lofty in the mid afternoon. The staff were busying themselves for a wedding the next day, so we cosied up in a sitting room with a coffee and magazine and... more
