Initially some things were not in place which I got fixed eg some lights out, safe still locked. Some items in the room were cheap - ironing board - had to ask for a steam iron. The room was not 100% clean - just some small areas missed eg a few drawers. The staff were very friendly and were keen to assist us at all times so some of these things were fixed up. There was nothing in the fridge and you could buy items which were more affordable near reception which was a neat idea. The bed was excellent and top quality which made it very comfortable to stay in the room for the week. The location was brilliant which gave us easy access to so many things.

This business are Highway robbers and staff are ditzy, food disgusting and over priced and management arrogant and beyond caring about the lack of customer satisfaction.

Noisey wedding guests no doubt drunk on the free alcohol were an issue as was the ever hot/cold surging shower in the morning . Unfortunately the breakfast was terrible. We ordered the full breakfast and the buffet. It's hard to believe how bad it was. Old fruit, rock hard sliced avocado, terrible flat white, empty juices bottles, packet mueslis, 5 people always crowding around one toaster. The told us the breakfast wasn't included in room when it was etc. Hardy's Verandah restaurant was smoke & mirrors chef's ego minuscule portions. Go to the Magill Estate for a great degustation or to Maximillians restaurant down the road. Since the Mecure group took over Mt Lofty House has been renovated and the grounds are amazing. We went there for Xmas lunch- 7 star views 7 stars for being open! 5 star grounds (this place would be great for a wedding!) Great friendly service Good entertainment Nice layout in general in the beautifully perched rear function room with valley view. Full points for not kicking us out early. The food wasn't as it should be for the price. The small sizes were fine for a lunch but for the price it wasn't great. Very average pre prepared out of the packet/jar antipasto with supermarket quality prosciutto etc which most people didn't really eat. Despite the presentation , the rest of the meal was average. The eighties pub 'desert buffet' queue visually ruined the day, they should have just done a selection for each table and moved to quality not quantity.

This is the thing that I love about South Australian pubs, and that happens to be that they offer beef schnitzel literally everywhere. Well, it turns out that everywhere doesn't include this pub, unfortunately. Still, despite that this pub was rather nice and certainly suited to its location in a leafy Adelaide hills suburbs. In fact, it was the first time that I have visited this pub, particularly since I never expect there to be a pub here, or at least didn't see one in numerous times I have pass through here. Well, I guess there is a first time for everything.

My partner and I stayed here for a few nights. The beds are harder than the floor and probably as…read moreold as the building. The rest of the room is okay but could use a clean. Our big issue lies with the management and the food. We had not eaten at all that day due to work, so on the first night, we thought to eat at the hotel and ordered two chicken parmies-what could go wrong? The schnitzels were barely cooked, and the sauce was very bland, though it came with a generous serving of chips. We ordered our food around 6:30 PM. Within six hours (by midnight), my partner became extremely ill, and an hour or so after that, she couldn't stop projectile vomiting Eventually, It subsided, but the next morning (Friday), she ate some toast and went back to vomiting violently, leading us to go straight to the hospital. After talking with a doctor and after many drugs, we were told she was suffering from extreme food poisoning. Once we learned this, we instantly knew there was only one possible source: our hotel When we got out, we informed the hotel manager that night. She took all our detalls and sald she wasn't the manager who deals with this and that we should come back the morning of our checkout when the right manager. would be in. Upon checkout, that manager said the same thing and assured us someone would call us. Well, that was at least a week ago, and we have heard nothing. We have attempted to handle this situation face-to-face with the hotel, but communication is a two-way street, and I am extremely disappointed. The worst part of all this is the dinning area and out door area is beautiful and cosy and the meal looked absolutely delicious but looks are deceiving. The images below were of the actual meal my partner ate too So, long story short: don't stay here, and definitely don't eat here.

We've been here twice now (Christmas Eve and Boxing Day). We ordered a large serve of the grilled…read moresquid both times. It was delicious and tender but was served lukewarm to cold (on both occasions). I'm not sure if this is how it's intended to be served but the consensus is that it'd be better served warm. The chips are yummy. We ordered these both times too. And the lamb with rice and papadam. The vegetable platter was yummy though not everyone's cup of tea. Meanwhile the jarlsberg arancini were delicious even though they didn't taste like jarlsberg. The prawn and cured salmon pizza was loved by some and disliked by others. Beer garden is amazing. As soon as word gets out, this place is going to get very busy. Great live music. Great choice of seating (stools, seats, undercover, in the sun), HUGE TV, awesome atmosphere, nice range of wines. Staff were a little on the inexperienced side but I assume they're just new and in training. Overall, two great experiences. We'll be back again.

I left all the decorating set up the the staff with the instruction. 'Set it up how you feel looks best' and it was beyond my expectation. The venue takes on so much for your special day letting you sit back and absorb every second! Some guests and ourselves stayed at the venue for the night and the rooms are very modern and clean. The spa was a nice touch at the end of a long day With everything included it is extremely budget friendly and will be recommending to everyone! Thank you again so very much We can't express how special you made our day and how much Mary is an asset to your business

Well, it's actually quite a nice pub, though it is pretty stock standard when it comes to pubs. Basically it is your typical suburban pub - gaming room, restaurant, sports bar - you get the picture. They do have a couple of beer gardens, and one of them is non-smoking (at least when the kitchen is open). The other one is just a plain grassed area. It's an okay pub, but nothing hugely fantastic.

Honestly, I find the pubs in the northern suburbs have a lot more character than the ones down south, which is actually saying something. Okay, this pub is in the middle of an industrial area, so when I wandered around here on a Sunday it was pretty dead - but it was still open, which was interesting. Like many of the suburban pubs it has everything one would expect from such a place. However, I have to admit that it wasn't hugely fantastic.
