Staff were lovely and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and very grateful for the extra help on check out day to prepare for a family wedding - thank you. Pool and grounds are beautiful. Breakfast and breakfast room were excellent - beautiful views over the valley. Didn't enjoy dinner in Martha's restaurant so much though. Short, fixed price menu of two or three courses - fine dining prices. Only one vegetarian option for each course - burrata and leaves for entree and a vegetarian pasta for main. Opted for the seafood options instead (seemed better value for $100 a head). But didn't enjoy either - v strong flavours overwhelmed the fish in both cases. Suggested wine pairing was excellent though - many thanks to the sommelier. MLH is a great place to stay and/or dine to celebrate a one time special occasion (as many fellow guests were), but not sure about repeat visitors or solo travellers (as I was). If you're visiting Australia from somewhere else, MLH will give you a sense of Australia and historic South Australia - definitely consider staying - you won't be sorry.

Everything was great! Staff, welcome, room, 3 course dinner in the Martha Hardy room, and of course the unrivaled location in the Adelaide Hills. William was very enthusiastic in giving us the historical information on the house tour. The complimentary champagne was a bonus. It’s a special place to stay.
