In the Media: SA’s ‘best’ high tea, whisky lounge at Mount Lofty Estate

Mount Lofty Estate. It’s one of the most iconic venues in South Australia.

It has come a long way in its 170 years, particularly in recent decades, and is now home to the historic Mount Lofty House and Australia’s best luxury lodge, Sequoia, the award-winning Hardy’s Verandah Restaurant, Martha Hardy’s Kitchen and Gatekeeper’s Day Spa.

The Estate has also become a food and wine destination in its own right with three restaurants and five bars now onsite, and the introduction of High Tea, new whisky and cigar lounge and immersive outdoor dining experiences, all available to overnight guests and day trippers.

We’ve brought together all the best things happening at Mount Lofty this year.
