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.

We were lucky enough to visit the antiques gallery in the last few days before it is packed up and sold off.
We were treated to a thorough and informative summary of the fascinating history of this iconic South Australian collection by the property owner Mark (noting that the art collection is being sold be descendants of the Thumm family)
It is truly heartbreaking that this collection will be sold interstate and likely split up. A tragedy that ArtsSA or SA Heritage could not fund this ongoing collection to remain in Australia
Sadly future visitors will not be able to experience this jewel of history. Instead there is a gift shop, coffee and some accommodation….I do worry that business will be harder for the property owners now that the art gallery is no more

Our luxurious high tea at Barossa Chateau for four people was a real pleasure. The cutlery, cups, and plates were amazing works of art. The atmosphere was nice, and the staff were kind and courteous. The food was delicious and well worth the price ($135 for 4 people).
Their rose Moscato was fantastic!
I had the vegan set, which I found more interesting (and probably healthier) than the regular one, although I didn’t taste the regular one. My wife and kids greatly enjoyed the regular set.
I especially appreciated the homemade jam, which seemed to have little or no sugar.
Overall, very satisfied!

This cellar door & café know how to treat their visitors to perfection, nothing can be faulted, the morning tea scones jam & cream, and the lunch platter after our walk around the beautiful property were delicious.
There is an amazing collection of artworks, china & antiques on display in a large dedicated space. At the entry is a gift shop with a large selection of beautiful items.
The owners are happy to chat with guests about the history of this incredible property.
A visit highly recommended.

The staff were wonderful but run off their feet for the amount of customers, the High Tea was defrosted supermarket, sandwiches with hair & fillings stale made day before, bought cakes cut up and the meringues are just like you buy from coles. Disgraceful for the set price. The proprietors need to go to a real high tea before stating they are the best.

We came for the high tea. This was our second time both on free State Government vouchers. It is a pleasant drive out from Adelaide.
Didn't do the museum tour this time as we took it in Oct 2021. The guide is knowledgeable and enthusiastic but frankly the items in the collection did not really interest us much and we exited the tour early to partake of the high Tea.
On both trips the savouries and sweets presented were adequate in quantity and quite enjoyable.
I have read of others having problems with the scones. Today ours were 10/10. Served hot, they were light almost fluffy and delicious. They had rose petals included in the scone mix which was a first for me. They were served with a lovely jam and a very generous amount of perfect whipped cream. Maybe the best scones I have had.
The choice of to bubbly wines at the beginning were adequate.
The staff were very friendly and customer focused however it was fairly busy and we did a bit of waiting but no drama.
The coffee like on the first visit was bloody awful. Not hot enough, tasted rough and burnt and after one sip sat in the cup unconsumed. The tea and coffee are a big fail and spoil the whole high tea experience to a significant degree.
The building is a plastic knockoff of some European Chateau. Fake fibreglass Grecian columns. Decor is like you would expect in an Eastern European building.
Rose garden was opened by the Queen in 2002 but now looks somewhat unkept.
Buildings and grounds show need for a lot of overdue repairs and maintenance.
My advice would be ask for a teabag in your cup or bring a jar of instant coffee as the hot drinks are a high tea killer.

We purchased a groupon for the morning tea and wine tasting & lunch platter plus the tour of Hermann Thumm’s extensive collection of porcelain. The tour was very interesting and I was surprised at the pieces on display. I did not know that this existed in South Australia and was blown away by the collection. The food and service was very good as well. The gardens are extensive and well worth a walk around the roses and other plants. If you like european porcelain from the 17th and 18th century plus other artworks then this is a must as I have only seen similar displays in Europe. You have to book a specific tour as its not open for general admission.

My husband had bought a online voucher for luxury high tea with wine and gift,I searched online the reviews and was pessimistic to go...was it going to be a hit or miss event.
The whole experience was fantastic one of the best high teas,and done a few now.
On arrival into the cafe area of the chateau we were greeted and seated by friendly faces.We were given a choice of a dry glass of bubbles or a Moscato and advised the tour included would begin in ten minutes.
The tour of the museum thou not of personal interest,being mostly porcelain was very interesting and the guide was so passionate of the area the estate and its contents.
The first course was served on leaving the tour ,two tiers of sublime savoury miniture bites.Savoury puffs cucumber bites sandwiches caramelized onion tart etc We were offered a palate cleanser..omg the lemon sorbet was divine!!! With another glass of bubbles each we then divulged in the next two tiers of
sweet delights upon its delivery including delicious macarons,mini eclair, the lightest scones with homemade jam, brownie mini cheesecakes etc.The quality of the food was exceptional the quantity was generous. Tea and coffee was offered happily.The service was fantastic, tables were cleared promptly and food delivered without being rushed.Being quite a busy environment it was very intimate.
We entered the lovely gift shop and were given discounts on our purchases and also were given a small gift...we were overwhelmed by the experience and the generosity of the hosts.
An amazing day .
Fantastic customer service .

Worst High tea Ever paid top price for two people and only got enough to eat for a bird. The $35 gift was disgusting not worth $5 for both. Complete rip off..never go back
. Adelaide CBD hotels put on a far superior high tea and A lot Less Money

Barossa Chateau is the sister property to Lyndoch Hill. We were staying at Lyndoch Hill on a weekend holiday package and the Barossa Chateau is on the big property. As part of the package we were offered a Devonshire Tea which was awesome with beautiful home made scones with locally produced jam & cream with choice of coffee or tea. The Chateau is also a wine cellar for Creed wines, a gift shop & an art gallery. There are jams & pickles for sale made locally. Can highly recommend that you visit Barossa Chateau so much to see in the beautiful old building with the quaint Devonshire Tea being a highlight.

Stayed at Lyndoch Hill on our re-visit after our holiday was interrupted by a snap Covid lockdown in November. On our last day we decided to do the included cheese and wine tasting (excellent!) and before that we toured the amazing Meissen / Dresden and antique china display with Mark Creed, our passionate guide. It was something we are so glad we didn't miss as it is amazing. If anyone has seen the incredible collection at David Roche Gallery and home in North Adelaide - you need to see this! One piece is one of only 2 left in the world - the other is owned by the Queen. Thanks Hermann Thumm for your foresight and we hope this collection will stay forever in the hands of we lucky South Australians.
