Escape the heat this summer and treat yourself to a getaway at the luxurious Mount Lofty House.
Mount Lofty House was built in the 1850s by Arthur Hardy, intended to be the ultimate summer house made perfectly for celebrations. Sitting atop the highest peak in South Australia and situated less than a kilometre from Mount Lofty Summit, the temperature is significantly cooler, making for the perfect place to unwind and relax in the warmer months.
This summer, experience this stunning venue in its intended glory, with Mount Lofty House’s summer packages and offerings.
Enter the New Year in style by celebrating New Year’s Eve with the Grand HVR signature progressive dinner. This delectable feast features a six-course degustation dinner and an exclusive wine selection designed by their team of dedicated sommeliers.
The dinner starts with oysters and caviar, followed by a specialty menu featuring fresh local produce and innovative flavours. Paired perfectly with South Australian and French wines, this is a dinner that’s sure to impress. And, for those who wish to stay up until midnight, a countdown with bubbles will be held outside on the lawns surrounding the Terrace Bar.
Enjoy this degustation and wine pairing in a semi-private setting for $529 per person, or on Hardy’s Verandah for $629 per person.


After ringing in the New Year, an afternoon of relaxation will be much needed. Take time to reset and recharge while enjoying the serene views from the Terrace Bar.
The Terrace Bar captures the essence of relaxation and indulgence, with panoramic views that stretch across the Piccadilly Valley. Take in the views under the shade of the leafy trees by the fountain with a handcrafted cocktail or a glass of fine wine, and watch as the world passes by.
If just one afternoon at Mount Lofty House doesn’t sound like enough to soak everything in, there’s an even more decadent package on offer. Mount Lofty House is offering fantastic two-night summer escape packages.
Included in the summer escape is a welcome drink upon arrival and a plate of the signature Mount Lofty House cookies to enjoy. Plus, experience a house welcome and history tour, paired with their seasonal signature drink. Each day enjoy a daily a la carte breakfast for two overlooking the Piccadilly Valley.
As a bonus, guests can enjoy a $100 Estate Credit, the Summer Seafood Experience and access to Arthur & Martha’s Adelaide Hills Adventure Trail.
At the seafood experience customise your own flavoured oysters and ceviche platter. Then let the renowned Hardy’s Verandah Restaurant chefs guide you as you select a combination of dressings and condiments to perfectly match your flavour combination. This light meal is all to be enjoyed on the stunning manicured lawns overlooking the Piccadilly Valley.
Experience the summer getaway from $499 per night.
