Mt Lofty Hotel occupies a historical country house overlooking Piccadilly Valley in the Adelaide Hills wine region, yet it is only 15 minutes' drive from Adelaide CBD. Guests enjoy a swimming pool, croquet lawn and tennis court. The Mount Lofty Summit lookout is just 500 yards from the property.

The beautifully restored Mt Lofty House - MGallery Collection is set on 18 acres of native gardens and English-style rose gardens. Next to it you will find a National Park and a golf course.

There are excellent business and meeting facilities, including seven function venues for groups or conferences.

The restaurant of the Mt Lofty House - MGallery Collection serves hearty, seasonal dishes using produce from the area and the hotel's own organic kitchen garden.

The nearby historical towns of Hahndorf and Stirling and the surrounding wine region are great for day trips.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.2 for a two-person trip.

An inside look at Mount Lofty House - MGallery by Sofitel

The iconic Mount Lofty House MGallery is a superbly positioned hotel and conference retreat, just 15 minutes from Adelaide city. Mt Lofty House was built in 1852 by renowned politician and pastoralist Arthur Hardy, an Englishman who needed respite from the Adelaide plains in summer and originally built the property as summer home. The house was famous for its extravagant dinner parties throughout the ownership of Arthur Hardy, John Richardson and Arthur Waterhouse. These previous owners are now honoured with the hotel adopting these names into Arthur Waterhouse Lounge and Bar, John Richardson Room and Hardys Verandah Restaurant. In January of 1983 on Ash Wednesday, bush fires destroyed all but the stone walls of the property. Devastatingly the owners had never taken taken residence, only purchasing the Mt Lofty House two weeks prior. Local Stirling architect Ross Sands purchased the House with the dream of recreating it to its former glory. It is now owned by a South Australian family who are committed to preserving the heritage yet also developing the Mt Lofty House to ensure it remains an iconic South Australian destination

“A unique quality property that gives entree to the whole Adelaide Hills experience.”

눉I wish I'd stayed longer.
눇The last time I stayed at Mount Lofty House must have been back in 2014, five years after the current owner had bought it. It was enjoyable for the location, grounds and views and the old, sprawling house but had a sense of a work in progress. Four years further on it's come a long way. We had a small tour of the premises, which was very impressive. The room we had last time is now part of their signature restaurant and we were at the rear overlooking the pool, a much better arrangement. Originally I had no plans to stay in the Adelaide Hills this time but at the last minute decided to round off my trip to Adelaide with a stop because the Hills are a universe all of their own and worth time to enjoy. While it was tempting to loiter the next morning, we needed to be off early to head to Victoria. We'd also had a late lunch at the fabulous Crafers Hotel just down the road the day we arrived and were tired from a full week in Adelaide, so we didn't have the opportunity to enjoy the restaurants and bar that the place offers - even though they looked really good. Next time I'd stay longer and make the most of a quality property and an incomparable position.

“Beautiful location disappointing stay”

눉There was a wedding on with really loud music till midnight directly below our rooms (2 floors down). It was so loud there was no way we could relax and enjoy our room or get to sleep. We rang reception twice but they said there was nothing they could do. Whilst the manager did give us a discount to each room in our party when we checked out his approach to our complaint was initially disappointing and did not validate our issue. We had chosen this accommodation and deluxe room at a higher price to the other options we considered because we wanted luxury and it simply did not live up to our expectations. They told us they have 120 weddings a year...
눇Beautiful location and building. Great fire places and bar. Great fun with friends.
