The Louise

Just an hour outside Adelaide lies an oasis surrounded by vineyards in the heart of wine country. The Louise is a boutique hotel that serves as the perfect natural base from which to explore the wider Barossa Valley, including its beautiful vineyards, historic villages, Lutheran churches and golf courses.

The property offers 15 impeccably furnished suites with king-size beds, luxurious bathrooms, a minibar and a coffee and tea station. Some suites feature an outdoor shower – perfect for cooling off on a hot summer’s day – and wood-burning stoves that add a cosy atmosphere. With a swimming pool, sauna, fitness centre, games area and more, the facilities leave nothing to be desired.

Although the rooms are opulent and inviting, the real highlight of this property is the Appellation Restaurant. It is regarded as one of Australia’s finest dining destinations, and bookings are snapped up well in advance as people travel from far and wide to enjoy its culinary delights. Fresh, local ingredients and a global wine selection come together to create a heavenly dining experience.
