Luxury Holidays At Sequoia Lodge

With breathtaking views of the Piccadilly Valley from its ridgeline position on Mount Lofty, Sequoia Lodge forms part of the historic Mount Lofty House Hotel, which has graced this hillside since the late 1880s and offers guests a true sense of place in exceptional style. Three of the original sequoia trees planted more than 170 years ago, still line the driveway today. The setting for Sequoia Lodge is quintessentially Australian, in the pristine, wildlife-rich highlands of the Mount Lofty hills, with a carpet of botanic gardens, vineyards and lush orchards below you. This is a region with a strong connection to its rich Indigenous history and guests enjoy an unparalleled level of access to the people and the land through the dreamtime stories told by Aboriginal elders. Fourteen beautiful suites offer sanctuary and panoramic views, immersing you in the natural scenery that surrounds you. A bespoke menu of curated experiences is available for guests, these change with the seasons and include guided tours of the botanic garden, sunrise yoga sessions, star gazing, wine tasting and wildlife encounters.

Hotel Experiences

The philosophy at Sequoia is to connect you the guest to the people and their land through a carefully considered selection of included experiences. These change through the seasons and include campfire storytelling sessions with respected Aboriginal elders, stargazing, intimate wine sessions with artisan wine makers, peaceful sunrise yoga sessions and guided hikes along the Heysen Trail, more often that not accompanied by kangaroos, koalas, and wallabies. Sequoia also enjoys unparalleled access to four world-class wineries within a 50-kilometre radius, including the one within which it sits, the Adelaide Hills. Guests can spend time with a South Australian wine maker discussing and tasting their wines but also explore the exceptional range of wineries in the valley below. With wine regions such as McLaren Vale and the legendary Barossa Valley on your doorstep there is much to explore and a multitude of ways in which to do it.

Climate

South Australia is the perfect place to escape the chill. It has mild winters and warm, dry summers. Kangaroo Island, like most of South Australia has a Mediterranean climate - with a warm but rarely uncomfortable summer days and a short wet winter. Remember to pack a jacket for cool evenings, year round.

Adelaide

As the capital city of South Australia, Adelaide is a vibrant cultural hub with plenty to see and experience. Framed by scenic parklands and the River Torrens, plus boasting a skyline of both old and new architecture, the city is known for its exceptional food, wine and art. Tourists can picnic in the parklands or take a paddle boat cruise, seek out the Central Market or perhaps visit the Art Gallery of South Australia. Wine lovers on the other hand, can take a self-guided tour of the National Wine Centre of Australia, followed by a stroll to the bustling shopping and restaurant districts. Whilst keen gardeners are spoilt with the Adelaide Botanic Garden, tranquil Japanese Himeji Gardens, native bushlands and dramatic landscapes of Waterfall Gully, plus Cleland Conservation Park, sports enthusiasts will no doubt be fans of the manicured Adelaide Oval. This is a city filled with outdoor attractions and whether you are en route to the Barossa Valley winelands or heading to the coastal wildlife attraction of Kangaroo Island, Adelaide is a great city to explore as part of your Australia journey.

Adelaide
Barossa Attractions

The weekly farmers’ market showcases plentiful Germanic offerings, local seasonal produce, coffee, flowers and music – held every Saturday in a big farm shed. For a panoramic view of Barossa’s glorious countryside of sweeping valleys and huge eucalyptus trees, drive to Mengler’s Hill Lookout. Close by is Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park, offering views of the Barossa Ranges and a network of excellent walks such as the Wallowa Hike (4.7km one-way) and the Stringybark Hike (2km loop). Those here for the wine can watch coopers make barrels at the Keg Factory and visit the many wineries for tours and tastings. Book ahead for the likes of Penfolds, a name that’s a legend here, if not across the world!

Barossa Attractions
Kangaroo Island

Enjoy a twilight beach walk at Seal Bay Conservation Park for a close encounter of snoozing Australian sea lions. Or a bushwalk through Flinders Chase – one of South Australia’s top national parks, where you’ll find unusual rock formations and lofty sugar-gum forests. There’s also a farmers’ market on the island, brimming with homemade bakes, olive oil, eggs, dairy produce, fresh seafood, island wine and buskers – day-trippers hop over by ferry just for the market, so it must be good! Another place to pick up island produce is the Clifford’s Honey Farm, a little out of the way but worth seeking out for scrumptious honey ice-cream, honey-infused drinks, biscuits, mead, candles and cosmetics.
