Mount Lofty House
About
Overview & Vibe
Mount Lofty House has watched the Piccadilly Valley since 1852 — Adelaide’s most iconic wedding manor at Crafers, ABIA’s Best Hotel Wedding Venue in SA for eight consecutive years, with the whole valley as the ceremony backdrop.
Setting & Style
Vows exchange on the Piccadilly or Tiered Lawns with the valley unfurling below, or in the Cigar Lounge’s heritage timber when the hills weather turns. Receptions fill the Piccadilly Panorama, the manor’s largest room, behind panoramic windows, with refined culinary artistry and local wines carried by a dedicated Wedding Curator. The Estate Wedding Experience takes the house residential — 29 rooms sleeping up to 58 staying guests, with celebrations extending to 150 — so the party wakes above the clouds.
