Mount Lofty House only accommodates guests over 16 years of age. Mount Lofty House was built in 1852 by prominent statesman Arthur Hardy as his summer house. Arthur Hardy is reminiscent of a South Australian Jay Gatsby; indeed his wife Martha described their lifestyle as ‘a kind of feudal splendour’. Their beautiful manor soon became the state’s premier address for lavish and infamous parties for Adelaide’s elite of the day. From such lofty beginnings the manor was passed through a number of South Australian families, including a period as commune in the 1970s. In the disastrous 1983 fires of Ash Wednesday Mount Lofty House was burnt to the ground before rising from the ashes like a phoenix to truly become one of South Australia’s great icons… ⬩ Enjoy the best fine dining experience in South Australia, at the 3 Chef Hat awarded Hardy’s Verandah Restaurant ⬩ Three bars and lounges including Hardy’s Cocktail Bar ⬩ 175 year old cellar and awarded wine list with over 1300 labels ⬩ Explore Mount Lofty Estate gardens or the neighbouring Botanic Gardens ⬩ Relax with a spa treatment at Gatekeeper’s Day Spa ⬩ Nightly champagne and house history tour hosted by our Concierge ⬩ Challenge your partner with a game of billiards, chess or relax in the house library ⬩ Relax in our swimming pool overlooking the Piccadilly Valley ⬩ Experience the Adelaide Hills – world class dining, cellar doors, connect with nature, and so much more.
