This is a splendid place to visit. The interior has been maintained as a home with art works and furnishings. A tour with a guide is worthwhile to hear the history of the home. It is a great wedding site and even a friend of mine had their funeral held there in the outside gardens which overlook the city. It... More

To think that this place is a "modern" building when it looks like it has been here for a couple hundred years - the art works - both inside and out in the gardens are simply beautiful More

We went to Carrick Hill estate solely for the free children's book character trail, while staying in Adelaide for a week & short of many other cheap family attractions. We expected a quick half hour or so, but our kids aged 6 & 9 were kept amused for about 2 hours. We could have shortened it to 1 hour easily,... More

A Magnificent English, stately home from a bygone era set high on a hill with a view out to sea and surrounded by tranquil traditional gardens, this is an attraction which we have visited many times. For much of the year the rose gardens are spectacular. The house is well worth a visit because of it's grandeur, sheer size and... More

Carrick Hill is beautiful, but honestly I run out of things to do there - you are better off going to the Botanic Gardens in my humble opinion. More

Superb old rambling "English" home displaying antiques and art. Surrounded by beautiful botanic gardens and views. Small cafe for light meals and snacks, venue for functions, destination for family outings, venue for outdoor theatre. Car parking available some distance from the home. The beautiful Carrick Hill estate was the result of the marriage, in 1935, of members of two of... More

In my opinion Carrick Hill does not seem to be adequately promoted and is a real hidden gem in Adelaide's inner southern suburbs. If you dont want to travel too far from the centre of Adelaide, this historic house and surrounding tranquil gardens is the perfect place for a coffee & cake or glass of wine & cheese platter on...
