The Manor Basket Range

We stayed at The Manor Basket Range for a weekend getaway and honestly, it was magic. The place looks straight out of a fairytale - old stone walls, beautiful gardens, and that peaceful Adelaide Hills vibe that just makes you instantly relax. Our room was two-storey with a little spiral staircase, comfy bed, and a huge bathroom with a spa bath (which was the best surprise after a long day wine tasting). Everything was clean, cosy, and had heaps of character — not your average hotel room at all. The staff were super friendly and made us feel right at home. Breakfast was simple but perfect - fresh pastries, fruit, and coffee enjoyed outside with birds everywhere. You could honestly just sit there for hours. It’s close to some great wineries and restaurants too, but we ended up just wanting to stay at the Manor because it’s that peaceful. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down and just enjoy being there. Can’t wait to come back — next time we’re staying longer!

Amazing place to stay. An interesting drive to get there (I think Google maps stitched us up as it had us wiggling around all over the place!), but the drive was worth it - you literally feel like you're staying in a castle. We loved it. Check-in was contactless, and instructions were given over the phone, which added to the intrigue. Our room was 2 storey's with a kitchenette & sofa bed downstairs and a large bedroom & huge beautiful bathroom with spa bath upstairs - it had everything we could possibly need & I only wish we'd been staying for longer to be able to appreciate it more. The older child did complain a little about the sofa bed being uncomfortable, but he said it was OK. The upstairs bed was very comfortable, and the spa bath was amazing. We were also surprised with breakfast "rations," which was a hugely generous supply of breakfast foods that we were not expecting but gratefully accepted. A nespresso coffee machine with pods was available too, as was a supply of T2 teas. Would definitely recommend a stay here, but make the most of it and stay for more than 1 night.

Very nice and secluded, and picturesque as well

Was a great stay overall. Only downside is driveway has these big potholes & it scrapped my front bumper the the ground.

We were upgraded to a lovely suite, the rooms were spacious and very comfortable . The continental breakfast was ample and the grounds and gardens lovely!

The room was beautiful, so unique and i loved the 'old castle' feel about the manor. The room service ladies were lovely and helpful. There was attention to detail with the products/brands supplied in the room, such as T2, Nespresso coffee machine & pods, well stocked mini fridge & breakfast foods, i even loved the meal bowls! And in the bathroom the handwash & shower/hair care products were beautiful. I thought a lot of care had gone into these little things, which made a big difference compared to other venues my husband and i have stayed at. It all made us feel very welcome and we can't wait to return in future. So peaceful & relaxing too! Perfect getaway 👌
