The food was the most delicious and flavoursome food we had ever had!

Kristy Australia

All the staff werer super friendly and helpful. We were greeted well and offered a cool drink and assistance with our luggage. The reception staff organised a hair appointment with a local hairdresser for me and also same day laundry service which was at an extra cost. Hardy's restaurant was fantastic and again attentive wait and sommelier staff. The bar was also a good food option. Breakfast was varied and delicious and staff were welcoming and helpful. Housekeeping staff were brilliant. The bathroom was fine, no bathtub though. The location made it perfect for getting around the Adelaide Hills / McLaren Vale and also southern beaches. Also close enough to get back to the airport without too much trouble. This is a great place for staying a couple of nights. The views are just stunning.
