Discover the New Terrace Bar and Two Signature Escapes in the Adelaide Hills
As summer unfolds across the Piccadilly Valley, Mount Lofty Estate invites guests to embrace the season of sunshine, long lunches and elevated leisure. With the opening of the new Terrace Bar and two exclusive summer escapes, the estate introduces a refreshed way to experience the timeless beauty of the Adelaide Hills.
Set just fifteen minutes from Adelaide’s city centre, Mount Lofty Estate continues to be a sanctuary for those who seek exceptional dining, luxury stays, and breathtaking views — a place where heritage meets contemporary indulgence.
The Terrace Bar: A Toast to Summer
Nestled beneath the shade of century-old trees, the new Terrace Bar is the heart of the estate’s summer season. With panoramic views over the Piccadilly Valley, it’s a destination for relaxed refinement — handcrafted cocktails, crisp Adelaide Hills wines, and share-style dishes celebrating the season’s best produce.
Guests can recline in the garden, unwind by the fountain, and watch the golden light fade over the valley in what promises to be one of the Hills’ most beautiful new summer spots.
“Summer at Mount Lofty House is a celebration of sunshine, fine food, and the beauty of the Adelaide Hills in full bloom. The estate comes alive with long, golden evenings, sparkling valley views, and the scent of gardens in full flourish.” says general manager Nicole Richards.
