Drink in the splendour of the celebrated Adelaide Hills wine region and the breathtaking beauty of the Piccadilly Valley with a stay at the Mount Lofty House, a five-star property with almost 150 years of history. An oasis of serenity, with all the trimmings needed for an indulgent gourmet escape, it’s hard to believe that this storied setting is just a 20-minute drive from Adelaide’s CBD. Feel a world apart from anywhere else: treat yourself with three-chef-hatted deliciousness at Hardy’s Verandah Restaurant, lavish in the attention of an expert spa therapist or take a wander through the grounds as if they were your own – after a day of vineyard hopping, of course.
