Beautiful Old World Adelaide Hills Lodge

Please read this description carefully before booking. The base rate for our stunning place includes 2 bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. Please refer to the "Rooms & Spaces" tab for the configuration by bedroom. Each additional bedroom can be booked as you need them. A booking for 6 guests provides 3 bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. A booking for 8 guests provides all 4 bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. Please do not book for 5 or 7 guests as each bedroom sleeps 2 guests and is charged as such. This saves you paying for all 4 bedrooms when you may only need 2 or 3. Please note, we do not provide single beds or single room rates. Those bedrooms not booked remain locked.

We do not charge a cleaning fee, most places do, so please keep this in mind when adding up your total cost.

As featured in the 2023 SA Life Magazine - Best of South Australia Annual. This former Federation country house, built in 1901 sits within its own pocket of manicured country gardens on a working equestrian farm. It is surrounded by some of the most stunning views of the Adelaide Hills.

Lovely Big Home
Great home for a group or family. It is a bit remote, so no ducking to the shops but perfect for a quiet retreat. No laundry so do allow for that.

Had a wonderful stay at beautiful Templewood House. A truly magical and unique place, Travis was very he[pful and welcoming and all the amenities of the house were very functional and very comfortable. Highlights were the open fire, a cuppa in the gazebo, evening on the verandah with the fairy lights on, excellent TV and Internet and great kitchen. The kids had a ball and lots of fun.A step back in time.Thankyou for such a wonderful and special experience.

Perfect Getaway
This is the perfect getaway. The accommodation was amazing, very big kitchen and the walk-in fridge was so convenient. We had wintery weather and living area was warm and cozy with the log fires. Each room had its own bathroom and the beds were very comfortable. I would highly recommend and will definitely consider coming back.

Yearly wine getaway with best friends
Our group go away each year to a wine region in Australia. We chose Templewood near Adelaide Hills as it has accommodation for 4 couples including separate ensuites. The House was very large, with ample space, a great kitchen, lovely grounds and a warming open fire to enjoy our wine each night. The accommodation did not disappoint as the beds were comfortable with heating in each room. There were quite a generous array of supplies provided in the kitchen including the base ingredients for breakfast, tea, and a coffee pod machine. Travis also provided a lovely bottle of wine to enjoy.

Bridal party stay.
Our stay was wonderful. The house is amazing and very nicely setup. There was plenty for space for the Bride and bridesmaids to get ready, including hangers for the dresses and large full size mirrors. There is a large industrial kitchen and fridge, so we had no issues with keeping food and drinks cool, plus prepping snacks. The garden outside the house is also amazing and I loved all the different flowers. We had a very comfortable stay and would highly recommend it to others.

I wanted somewhere calm, pretty and opulent to celebrate with my friends for my 40th, and Templewood had it all. Every one of us returned to our families feeling relaxed and having had a splendid dose of country luxury.

Weekend escape with friends
Our group of six were looking forward to a convenient escape in the hills away from family and commitments. The Homestead at Millbrook provided a beautiful, old world space that was perfect for cosy chats around the log fire and warm cuppa's shared overlooking the gorgeous garden and hillside views. Bedrooms provided creature comforts and a peaceful nights sleep for weary grandparents!! It was a fine escape that was very much enjoyed and easily coordinated with our host.

Just Beautiful
We really wanted somewhere special to stay with family to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. What an absolutely beautiful house, we couldn't have asked for anything better. It will definitely go down as one of our most memorable trips as a family. The weather was cold and rainy so we couldn't spend a great deal of time outside enjoying the grounds, however it was so cosy and full of character inside that we enjoyed ourselves throughly. Would definitely recommend staying here, Travis was a wonderful host, thank you for a most enjoyable weekend.

Relaxation Accomplished
Such a relaxing, calming and cozy home to stay in. With complimentary extras to add to the enjoyment. Wine, pillows and blankets to picnic or read a book outside in the amazing grounds, even a game of bocce. Pick a tree to sit under and enjoy the the same or just sneak a snooze. After go walking around to take in the horses and chat with riders or watch as they train young and experienced. The Industrial Kitchen, great to cook in and large fridge to store your produce and yummies you plan on making to eat together on the dining table with the view of gardens and birds (wrens, kookaburras talking or dancing about). Travis, a kind and caring host. Thank you We will come back Lori & Robert
