The Manor Basket Range

I’m in love with this place the minute we drove up to the car park. I was captivated by the castle bathed in the golden glow of sunset. The garden is tastefully designed and well maintained, the lush green is decorated with autumn colour from deciduous trees, creepers and grape vines. Walking around the castle felt like wandering in a fairyland. We got room No 12 at the back of the main building without a view ( it seems at the eve of a wedding, most of the rooms were occupied by the wedding party), it’s OK for an overnight stay. The good thing is there’s no stairs 😊 It’ evident the refurbished room is to keep the old charm while providing modern comforts. There’s a separate bedroom, a lounge, a kitchenet, a bathroom and a standalone big spa bath. The bed is very comfortable, the breakfast provided is adequate for 2 of us: cereals, slices of bread, jams and a bottle of very nice orange juice, tea and coffee. In hospitality industry, it’s people who make or break a venue, at the Manor, the people we dealt with were super efficient in communications for check-in & check-out. They were particularly helpful when my husband left his gifted medallion in the room where we stayed. Big thanks go to Marcus and Karl and the cleaning people. The Manor left such a beautiful memory for us, we will certainly come back next time we visit Adelaide. We’ll be more than happy to recommend the place to people who visiting The Adelaid Hills.

Such a beautiful experience! I loved this old historic castle built in 1935. I’m not a fan of staying in hotels but this style of accommodation is truly unique. Located in the Adelaide hills, not far from Uraidla. It was definitely more than we were expecting, containing downstairs with lounge, kitchen area and upstairs with sleeping area, very spacious toilet and bathroom with a deep bath. We enjoyed the complimentary coffee, juice, bread, yoghurt and granola. Loved all the archways. Beautifully maintained gardens surround the castle. I can imagine weddings here would be stunning.

Exceptionally disappointing facilities. Grounds and area is lovely. Our room (unit 12) was very substandard for what we were charged and paid. No WiFi, poor TV reception, substandard breakfast provisions. Don't be fooled by the excellent photography or the price - you will get better value for your money elsewhere.

We stayed on a Thursday night. The surrounding are really beautiful.Accomodation was different with a spiral staircase to take you upstairs to the bedroom and bathroom. Lower floor and upstairs both had shared balconies which was nice place to share a bottle of wine after we had a beautiful dinner at the Uradlia hotel. The accomodation is also on the same grounds as a function on centre. That’s when the peace of the lovely surroundings finished. 10.30pm it was like having a party in our bedroom the noise was crazy. If you are booing here first check if any functions are on as you will be really disappointed with the noise levels especially if is was a romantic getaway.’
