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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

This was tranquil retreat. There was music playing as we entered, immediately enabling us to relax. Everything was cleaned to a very high standard. Breakfast provisions were abundant. The bed was extremely comfortable. This was well worth the money. We had a wonderful stay.

My husband and I stayed at The Nest to celebrate my birthday. I was looking forward to the wood fire, spa bath and the peaceful and beautiful surroundings, and I was not disappointment. We only stayed for 1 night. When we return, we'd stay longer. Thank you, Mandy. It was a really lovely stay!

We often hear from our Guests who stay for one night, that they wished they'd stayed longer, but at least you had the opportunity to experience a wonderful Hills Getaway...we do look forward to you returning sometime in the future, to linger in front of the fire a little longer!!

We have just spent 4 glorious nights in the Stunning Villa Lemoni. This cottage is so beautiful and the hosts have thought of everything. The gardens are so gorgeous and you have amazing views from every window. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms - one with a spa bath, beautiful linen and furniture. The breakfast provisions were beautiful and there was so much provided. Also the provisions are sourced locally which is a great way to showcase what the Adelaide Hills and state have to offer. A beautiful open fireplace with masses of chopped wood all ready for you. We could not have been happier and would recommend this villa to either a couple for a romantic break or 2 couples travelling together. Steve and Mandy are the perfect hosts and have always offered incredible accommodation. We have just loved our stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Lemoni. It was charming and picturesque. The provisions were more than ample, and a highlight was the wood fire. We would highly recommend to family and friends.

A beautiful autumn weekend at Lemoni, part of the Adelaide Hills Retreats. Gorgeous property and so many wonderful details and generous provisions in the house itself. Lots to do in the area, with great winery restaurants and cellar doors. Perfect weekend away - thank you.

The hosts are the most, more than accommodating to our needs. This is the 2nd time we have stayed with them but in a different house. Had all the amenities you would ever need. The view was great and close to shops for any additional supplies. Would definitely recommend to couples or groups, would suit either. Its so quiet and peaceful.

Simply exceptional on every level - cleanliness, top quality fittings and features, generous breakfast hamper, exceedingly comfortable beds etc. Perfect location for a get away for friends or a couple. Convenient to everything we needed - including 5-10 mins to Handorf, Hans Heysen Cedars etc - but far enough away to enjoy the country solitude. Friendly and helpful hosts with great directions and tips for everything we needed. Just book, you won’t be disappointed

We have just returned from our second stay at Villa Lemoni, this time for five super relaxing nights over our 21st wedding anniversary. As soon as you come up the drive way you can feel the stress slip away and the house is so well laid out and well appointed there is nothing to do but relax! Thanks to Mandy and Steve for once again making our stay a memorable one. We are already planning another stay next year. Worth every penny
