Staff were lovely and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and very grateful for the extra help on check out day to prepare for a family wedding - thank you. Pool and grounds are beautiful. Breakfast and breakfast room were excellent - beautiful views over the valley. Didn't enjoy dinner in Martha's restaurant so much though. Short, fixed price menu of two or three courses - fine dining prices. Only one vegetarian option for each course - burrata and leaves for entree and a vegetarian pasta for main. Opted for the seafood options instead (seemed better value for $100 a head). But didn't enjoy either - v strong flavours overwhelmed the fish in both cases. Suggested wine pairing was excellent though - many thanks to the sommelier. MLH is a great place to stay and/or dine to celebrate a one time special occasion (as many fellow guests were), but not sure about repeat visitors or solo travellers (as I was). If you're visiting Australia from somewhere else, MLH will give you a sense of Australia and historic South Australia - definitely consider staying - you won't be sorry.
