The property was in a beautiful, secluded location, making it super quiet and relaxing. It was spacious, very clean, and well-maintained. The staff were also excellent—responsive and helpful throughout our stay.
The shower pressure was a bit low, and there was an ironing board but no iron, which would have been useful as we were in town for a wedding.

Great amenities … very responsive hosts and generous provisions. The bed was super comfortable and warm. Recent renovation is fantastic and the bath was great too.
It’s a little close to the freeeway, so there is a quiet hum of trucks along the freeway at night. That’s the only negative - otherwise everything else was great

We stayed here for three nights and it gave us relaxation after a lot of touring. Warm welcome on arrival. High quality coffee machine and breakfast provisions. Loved the location, easy for walks, short drive in to nice little town of Sterling and caught bus from Sterling in to Adelaide. Summit of Mount Lofty and wildlife reserve a short drive away. Use of swimming pool was great, it is used by non-residents at times but equality we did have plenty of access to it. We loved our stay here, massive indoor space, lovely bathroom and beautiful location.
Although most of the property was exceptionally clean it was let down by quite a few cobwebs in the bedroom and courtyard areas were very neglected. Otherwise this place is a gem.

There is nothing more stressful then searching for accommodation online in a city you’ve never been before, the unknown of what to expect. The moment I drove into the driveway, I was beyond excited and could not wait to see what was awaiting me behind closed doors. This property is so beautiful and had such a warm feel, the perfect place for a leisurely stay. The lovely fresh produce provided for breakfast was such a treat and added the sweetest touch. I am so grateful for having the experience of staying in this beautiful home and I would highly recommend this to all of my family and friends.
There was nothing I didn’t like about this accomodation.

We loved the fact that we could join the two apartments and socialise together in the larger kitchen and outdoor terrace. The breakfast food provided was very good and we enjoyed having access to the indoor pool on site.
The convenient location is great for access to main roads but you can hear the motorway noise when outside in the garden.

The bathroom - have left having such bathroom/bathtub envy We were given beautiful food by the host in the fridge. The pool was awesome Absolutely everything about this place was exceptional. I could break it down but highly recommend everyone just to go and stay here for at least 1 night to experience this beautiful place themselves

Beautiful, spacious, comfortable property in a great picturesque location with stunning autumn colours - yet just a short drive to shops. Property management was very responsive and helpful.

Very peaceful home amongst the trees and much larger than expected. My partner loved the spa bath & the indoor swimming pool was a great addition. Great selection for breakfast included too! We also loved the resident kookaburra :)
