Absolutely Amazing!

Everything was just perfect from the minute we arrived. We were given champagne on arrival, bags beat us to our room from the car. The welcome drink and history of the house was amazing -Chris was fantastic! Food was to die for and our room was just gorgeous. I could not fault anything in our stay and wished it was longer.

Great location but let down by food

A nice, historic building with friendly staff and an impeccable location. The botanic gardens adjoining are a real treasure. The food was a letdown though - high tea service was slow, we had to ask to be served after 30 minutes (even to choose tea). The sandwiches were made on stale bread. Surprisingly poor since the Verandah restaurant is highly rated. Room was well laid out and practical.

8/10 Very good

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.
