Experience the Adelaide Hills in mist and magic at Mount Lofty House

As winter cloaks the Adelaide Hills in mist and magic, Mount Lofty House, only 20 minutes from the Adelaide CBD, becomes a haven of warmth, indulgence, and seasonal charm. This year, our Winter Escape Offerings invite guests to retreat into comfort and luxury with curated experiences designed to enchant the senses.

Relax beside grand open fireplaces with a glass of local red, or immerse yourself in the rich heritage of our estate through guided wine tastings in our 170-year-old cellar. Our signature three-hat restaurant, Hardy’s Verandah, presents an exquisite winter menu celebrating bold, comforting flavours paired perfectly with South Australia’s finest vintages.

For those seeking relaxation, Gatekeeper’s Day Spa offers seasonal rituals designed to nourish and restore during the cooler months. Couples and friends can reconnect over High Tea by the fire or enjoy our Winter Warmer package, which includes indulgent dining, spa treatments, and cosy accommodation overlooking the misty Piccadilly Valley.

Whether you’re escaping for a romantic weekend, celebrating a special occasion, or simply embracing the beauty of winter, Mount Lofty House promises an unforgettable experience of refined warmth and timeless elegance. Let winter wrap around you — and let us take care of everything else.

Winter is equally beautiful at Sequoia Lodge on Mount Lofty Estate. An invitation to slow down, reconnect, and indulge in the stillness of the Adelaide Hills. With uninterrupted views over the Piccadilly Valley, our adults retreat luxury lodge becomes a sanctuary of serenity during the cooler months.

This season, our Winter Escape Offerings celebrate warmth and wellbeing. Begin your day with sunrise yoga overlooking the misty ranges, then sink into a private artesian spring-fed hot pool as the valley stretches out below. Exclusive experiences await — from intimate wine and cheese masterclasses with local artisans to guided nature walks that uncover the secrets of the Hills in winter.

Indulge in seasonal menus crafted from the finest local produce, enjoy curated in-suite wellness rituals, or simply curl up by the fireplace with a good book and a glass of Pinot. Each suite is a cocoon of luxury, offering heated stone floors, spacious lounges, and breathtaking views.

Winter at Sequoia is more than a season — it’s a philosophy of rest, presence, and understated opulence. Whether you seek quiet reflection or immersive experiences, our winter offerings promise a deeply personal and unforgettable stay. Come discover the rare magic of winter at Sequoia.
