Write a reviewA long held desire to visit Thorngrove Manor was finally achieved.
We stayed in the Queen Room and were extremely fortunate to have a tour of the residence by Kenneth including a wonderful passion filled rendition of the History of the Manor and of the myriad of historic pieces filling every room.
As others have said, the attention to detail is incredible, and the vision that drives a theme of “constant improvement” is amazing.
This is a home that reflects a couple’s dedication to provide a truly historic property. Unique in Australia and world class.
A final small comment ---find a way to try Nydia’s scones ---the lightest (and best) I have ever had.

Thorngrove manor was perfect for our weekend away, we stayed in the castle keep. The hospitality and the food was great, the gardens are beautiful, the whole castle is amazing. I loved the double doors that opened onto a belcony in our room, it was just like romeo and juliet. The whole castle was awesome.

I was lucky enough to have the privilege of completing my new collections look book and editorial photoshoot here and it was a dream come true. The location is as beautiful if not more beautiful than the pictures. We were given the Kings Quarters as a dressing room and were treated so lovely by the owner Nydia who even made myself and the rest of the crew there some coffee.
The attention to detail in the manor is second to none and you'll be left breathless every turn you take.

We had the most amazing stay at Thorngrove Manor and it was by far the nicest hotel we have ever stayed in. Kenneth greeted us upon our arrival and was extremely friendly and helpful. It's obvious how passionate he is about his castle when we were given the tour. We stayed in the Queen's Chambre and our teenage girls stayed in the Tower room. We had very heavy bags and before we could say anything Kenneth was halling them up the curved stairwell. The rooms were gorgeous and really did feel like you were in a medieval castle. When we crawled into bed, we were delited to discover that the heated comforter had already been turned on and the bed nice and toasty - a very nice touch.
After touring around Australia, we really enjoyed Stirling in the Autumn as the trees were changing to red and yellow, and it reminded us so much of our home back in Canada. It was a short and beautiful walk to town and a three km walk to the top of Mt. Lofty where we found an amazing restaurant and great view of Adelaide.

We have stayed in some fabulous places around the world, but nothing matches the stunning, fabulous, fascinating, gorgeous fairytale experience we had at Thorngrove Manor. We treated ourselves to a night, which we booked through Small Luxury Hotels of the World (which I also highly recommend).
We had the Observatory suite, located in a turret with amazing 360 degree views. Our sunken spa was in its own turret with a beautifully decorated ceiling. The bed and pillows were as comfortable as a cloud and the linen crisp and fresh. We had 4 separate bath/toilet areas with towels a plenty.
Our host, Ken, was so entertaining and his passion for antiques and all the fine inclusions at Thorngrove made our stay as informative as it was pleasurable.
Not only is this property amazingly breathtaking (there just are not enough superlatives to describe this place) but the beauty of the building and surrounds, is equaled by the quality of the food which is as good as, if not better than many chef hatted restaurants we have dined in.
Food began with a wonderful high tea served in the living are of our suite while some music was played in the background. The savoury treats were delicious and the scones and chocolate Beetroot cake, divine.
We opted for the in-room dining, and were were not disappointed. An amazing choice of 3 or 4 per courses of entree, main and dessert. All mouth watering and served on the finest crockery with 18th century silver. We truly felt like the King and Queen of the Castle. You can bring your own wine, so we popped in to Tappanappa Winery (5minute drive away) for a wonderful Chardonay and Pinot Noir to accompany our food.
Breakfast was served on the terrace the next morning. Again, fantastic and so much better that the hotel buffets... The chia pudding and Bircher muesli, fruits yoghurt etc etc, you get the picture - all of the meals were as big as they were tasty. Nydia is a talented chef and as passionate about food as they both are antiques and maintaining a quality of excellence at their property.
If you can only go once in your life, don't miss a chance to go. Worth every cent and if you think you can't afford to go, then give up something (like smoking or that new handbag) and GO!
We did the lovely walk down to Stirling which is a sweet town and a good way to walk off the afternoon tea, but then we hurried back as we never wanted to leave!
It was our 32nd wedding anniversary gift to ourselves and we can't think of anything better!!!!
