Many visits to the Adelaide Hills revolve around tasting and purchasing its sophisticated cool climate wines, and with around 50 cellar doors there is a wine experience to suit every palate. In addition, many offer tours, food and wine matching experiences, master classes and regional fare, as well as fine contemporary dining. Lovers of craft beer will enjoy visiting the region's award-winning craft breweries. Wildlife Parks Children and international visitors in particular tend to get excited about just how close they can get to koalas at Cleland Wildlife Park in Crafers and Gorge Wildlife Park in Cudlee Creek, with both offering koala holding sessions. But this is just one of the many wildlife encounters on offer. Cleland Wildlife Park features some 130 native Australian species while Gorge Wildlife Park feature both native and exotic animals including a vast range of birds and reptiles. Hahndorf Hahndorf is Australia’s oldest surviving German settlement located about a half an hour drive from Adelaide. There is still a strong German flavour in Hahndorf, most evident in the smallgoods outlets, German bakeries and pubs that line the bustling main street. Highlights include shopping, cellar doors, dining, art galleries and studios, strawberry picking, micro breweries, children's farmyard and walking tours. Mount Lofty Summit At 710 metres above sea level Mount Lofty Summit at Crafers affords spectacular views of the city and coast beyond. It’s the ideal place to start your Adelaide Hills adventure to get your bearings and appreciate the region's elevation. There is a café, restaurant and gift shop with visitor information. The steep walk between the summit and Waterfall Gully is very popular. Nearby attractions include Cleland Wildlife Park and Mount Lofty Botanic Garden. Unfortunately there is no real Public Transport options here. We are situated on a unsealed road, on top of a pretty big hill. Not many people use this road, despite its close proximity to the city. We have a large parking bay in our driveway, with a small carport and separate entrance, down the pathway, to your accommodation. Whist this is normally an incredibly serene environment, occasionally you do hear neighbourhood activities and or traffic, which can echo up the valley.
