Needing a short break away, we chose Meg & Andrew Burdett’s Hillgrove House at Basket Range. Whilst we have known the owners for many years we had never actually been to their property. The place is sublime, the setting extraordinary and the service impeccable. We had planned touring the wineries and checking out a few of the local eateries, but... More

We chose to stay at Hillgrove House over Christmas and the New Year, because we needed a dog-friendly place close to relatives who live in the Adelaide Hills. Burdett's seemed to fit our requirements, and looked nice, allowing for a bit of puffery in the description and careful selection of photographs. Boy, did we ever luck out. We've never before...

We recently stayed ast Waratah Cottage for two days. This is the best B&B we have ever stayed in, tucked away in the peace and quiet of the Adelaide Hills: a glorious garden, amazing birdlife, serene views. And the most amazingly generous provsions with little treats and delights in every room. Everything we could think of was provided in the... More

We recently celebrated a special occasion, and booked into Waratah Cottage for the weekend. From looking at the web site we expected something very nice and our expectations were definitely surpassed in every way. This beautiful cosy cottage is perfect for two people. The wood fire warmed the whole place so we didn’t really need the air conditioning in the... More

Wow what a great place to relax and enjoy. Hillgrove is so luxuriously warm and cosy... open fire and the scenery amazing...sat and watched the mist roll down the hills...

Fantastic place to relax and unwind. Great view and so peaceful, yet still very close to Adelaide. We were able to take our dog too and she enjoyed it, including disappearing into the bushes in the yard! Breakfast provisions more than sufficient and so delicious. Supplies on the whole were more than adequate (ie toiletries). Felt very spoiled! More

We have just returned from a wonderful holiday staying at Burdett's Country Retreat (Hillgrove House). This is the perfect retreat in the beautiful Adelaide Hills. We were holidaying with friends and loved the setup of the house with two separate wings, giving each couple there own space. Beautiful areas outside to sit and enjoy the views during the day. Inside,... More

A very special place indeed, and great hosts as well in Andrew and Meg. Every little touch had been thought of to make our stay absolutely perfect. We were overwhelmed by how generous Andrew and Meg were, how gorgeously comfortable Hillgrove House was and how memorable the whole experience turned out. In so many ways we left a little bit... More
