Accommodation

The Stirling Hotel and The Crafers Hotel are both boutique heritage hotels with hip restaurants and bars downstairs and plush accommodation upstairs.

Enchanting Thorngrove Manor in Stirling is a small luxury hotel with baroque-style towers and turrets, fairy-tale grounds and complete guest privacy. This iconic Adelaide Hills property offers the quintessential idyllic romantic escape for couples - an engaging and magical 5-star work of architectural art.

Mount Lofty House is boutique heritage hotel in Crafers near the summit of Mount Lofty, right next to Mount Lofty Botanic Garden (perfect for walks and picnics). Choose from beautiful rooms, suites and cottages or indulge in the new Sequoia suites cantilevered over the escarpment overlooking Piccadilly Valley. Hardy's Verandah Restaurant offers fine dining and be sure to have a pre-dinner drink in the Authur Waterhouse Lounge. There is also Stables Day Spa onsite so book in for a massage or treatment - packages available for couples.

The Nest by Adelaide Hills Retreats in Balhannah is the perfect private hideaway just for two in a secluded studio suite surrounded by abundant bird life in a peaceful natural environment.

The three Sticky Rice Villas in Stirling are inspired by the luxury holiday villas of Bali, Thailand and Japan so take your choice of Bali, Yoko or Zen. Take a cooking class together next door at the Sticky Rice Cooking School or opt for a private class in your villa's gourmet kitchen.
