This article describes a luxurious getaway at Sequoia Lodge in the Adelaide Hills, highlighting its stunning natural setting, adult-only atmosphere, and indulgent amenities. The author shares their experience of exploring Adelaide's vibrant food scene before retreating to the peaceful lodge for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Gazing up at a cloudless blue sky, the silence is uninterrupted, apart from the melodic, steady thrum of bubbles from the natural spring-fed hot pools I’m currently submerged in. I sit upright, look down and see a solitary, large kangaroo silhouetted against the lush valley backdrop as the sun dips below the horizon. I sigh contentedly.
Reaching the luxury lodge, its “Jurassic Park”-style gates open dramatically, and soon I’m ensconced in one of the 14 open-plan suites, each of which boast panoramic valley views from large balconies and expansive daybeds. Inside, there’s a roaring fireplace, large, freestanding bathtub, a wellness shower, and complimentary minibar. Outside, there’s a tennis court, walking trails and the aforementioned two spring-fed hot pools , which are booked for private use.
Before dinner, we walk through the impressive historic cellar and afterwards, once dusk has settled, we head back to Sequoia for a spot of stargazing via the powerful telescope in the main fire-warmed lounge.Next morning, the temptation to lounge in a bathrobe and not leave the confines of the property is strong, but some of the state’s best wineries are a short drive away .
For an intimate, no frills, one-on-one winemaker experience, Smallfry Wines – which produces nil to minimal adjustment wines – is the way to go. Here, wine hounds can shoot the breeze with winemakers from the comfort of their very casual cellar door on the main drag in Angaston.
