- Julia M1 contributionWonderful massageWonderful experience. Diana was amazing. Took the time to identify my specific massage needs specifically my sore lower back and neck. She then gave me the best massage of my life. I’ve had very lovely relaxation massages before, but Diana actually gave me the massage my body needed. Can’t recommend her highly enough.Thank you so much for your wonderful review on your time with Diana. She certainly has a following and I was so pleased to let her know that you enjoyed your massage. Diana has now opened a 2 hour massage so if you ever feel the need and have a couple of spare hours please come and see us again. I'm sure that she will elevate from your last experience even more so! much love xxWritten 9 December 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 14 October 2023

The staff ensured an incredibly relaxing environment, and they took great care of guests before, during and after an appointment.

- Karyn H1 contributionPampered properlyFrom walking through the pretty garden into the cottage to the serenity inside, it was a lovely start to my visit to Gatekeeper’s Day Spa. Skye got me settled onto the perfectly warm bed and my massage and facial were exactly what I needed. She allowed me to drift off and relax completely. The attention to detail and ambience was top notch. I left feeling totally relaxed to the point of wondering if I could actually drive home! I highly recommend a visit if you want to feel pampered in a day spa that does everything 100% perfect.Visited January 2024Travelled soloWritten 17 January 2024

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My husband and I had gone away for our Birthdays to Mt Lofty House and I had a facial here at the Gate keepers Day Spa with Skye.
Was one of the best I’ve had.
I felt totally rejuvenated after her masterful hands worked on my 48 year old skin.
The products they use are divine and the whole atmosphere is peaceful and tranquil.
I would highly recommend having a treatment done.
Thank you to Skye xxx

The most amazing relaxing experience as always. I’ve been going to gate keepers since I moved to SA in 2017 and their quality always exceeds expectations. It’s somewhere I bring friends from out of town and we always have the best time. The water Lilly products are my favourite and I leave glowing and serene

A truly amazing, relaxing, indulgent experience. Skye was extremely professional and made me feel relaxed and special the moment I walked in the door. Her attention to detail and calming nature was soothing and without fault. Well worth the visit. The grounds are gorgeous and very peaceful.

Sincere thanks to Allison and Susy for a superb spa experience. Lovely staff, lovely welcome and would highly recommend organising an individual experience at this serene place! The massage and facial were perfect. The escort to the car park at the end of a workday was a special touch that was greatly appreciated.

I was 34 weeks pregnant at the time of my mum to be package. Alison was so incredible and had me feeling the best I had felt in months. I walked out on cloud 9 and could not recommend it enough. Especially Alison, she is a beautiful human who made me feel so comfortable and nourished through out the whole experience.

We were celebrating our Golden Anniversary at Mt Lofty House and decided to pamper ourselves with the 90 minutes "Recovery Escape".
What a beautiful experience from the moment we walked in the door. Felt truly cared for and pampered in every aspect. The initial body niggles soon melted away as the calm and soothing hands masterfully dissolved all our aches and pains. Didn't take long for us to drift into a deep relaxed, drooling state. As we floated on our euphoric cloud to the recovery room with a gorgeous garden view, we were given delicious refreshments. The herbal tea was divine. We slept like babies that night. Thank you for a totally blissful experience. Will definitely come back.

I've had two massages here and they're some of the best treatments I've ever received. Both were Deep Release and I left them feeling as if the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders. If you're in the area I highly recommend paying them a visit.
