The Louise, Beckons

The Louise is a destination in itself with it's scenic outlook and all-inclusiveness. Everything from breakfast, your mini-bar (everyday), afternoon appetisers, pre-drinks (including cocktails and top shelf spirits) then decadent four-course dinners with matching wines are included. Every night (in winter) turn down service included herbal night teas and hot water bottles left in the bed. Had we been here in summer, we would of made use of the infinity pool overlooking the vineyards. Being our first time in The Barossa we chose to use it as our "hub" to explore the many wineries from - including Tscharke which is literally across the road. The Underground Wine Tasting is something else and if you get the chance - I recommend you do this tour organised by the hotel. You will always feel like you have special attention given there are only 15 lodges available here but truly - the staff go above and beyond to cater and attend to your every whim (and sometimes get you out of a pickle). From making sure the day lounge was made into a bed for one of us snorers to retreat to at night - to helping us find last minute transportation when our uber did not show up to take us back to the airport, we were grateful for the wonderful staff. A special mention to Darcy, Maddie, Ian, Pi, Esther and Deborah. You have left us with special memories and we thank you!

This boutique property is outstanding and is an oasis in the Barossa Valley. Very high level service, good rooms, and excellent food.

A delightful property with excellent service and staff who I were very helpful and wanted to please.

Check in was great as was dinner. Food and service amazing. Breakfast on the other hand, Showed up just before 930. No one to greet us. After a few minutes someone appeared and sat us. Ordered soft poached eggs and a few sides to share. Around 10, wondering where food is as checkout is 1030. Food shows up. Eggs are rock hard. Look around no staff. Go to kitchen behind closed door. Find 3 staff having a chat. By the time eggs made again, sides all cold and in a rush to check out. Should have given free breakfast a miss!

Absolutely love The Louise Lodge - was our second stay. Will be back again soon.
