All properties are at the ground floor so they are private and ideal for self-isolation or reducing contacting with other people. Breakfast was good. Staff was very nice.

Great breakfast and great dinner. Lots to select from the menu and prompt service. I will go again.

Robert Australia

Great location if you need to be near Adelaide Hills district, great price and very clean. Hotel was also nice, food was ok

Demetrios Australia

Very pleased with the accommodation - everything was catered for - especially on Xmas Day - Tonsley Hotel catered for us & brought up a turkey dinner & desert into the room - plus a micro wave to reheat as we got back quite late. They really went out of their way to accommodate us. Rooms were really clean - thank you to all the staff. It was a real pleasure to stay.
