Beautiful Old World Adelaide Hills Lodge

Please read this description carefully before booking. The base rate for our stunning place includes 2 bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. Please refer to the "Rooms & Spaces" tab for the configuration by bedroom. Each additional bedroom can be booked as you need them. A booking for 6 guests provides 3 bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. A booking for 8 guests provides all 4 bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. Please do not book for 5 or 7 guests as each bedroom sleeps 2 guests and is charged as such. This saves you paying for all 4 bedrooms when you may only need 2 or 3. Please note, we do not provide single beds or single room rates. Those bedrooms not booked remain locked.

We do not charge a cleaning fee, most places do, so please keep this in mind when adding up your total cost.

As featured in the 2023 SA Life Magazine - Best of South Australia Annual. This former Federation country house, built in 1901 sits within its own pocket of manicured country gardens on a working equestrian farm. It is surrounded by some of the most stunning views of the Adelaide Hills.

Many local attractions may be found nearby, including fantastic cellar doors, craft breweries & distilleries, eateries, fruit picking and markets, golf and hiking, as well as lots of family activities and quaint Hills villages. For wine lovers we are only 20 minutes scenic drive to the Barossa Valley and on the northern route to Eden Valley. We are also close to many local wedding venues including Inglewood Inn, Al-Ru Farm and Glen Ewin Estate.

You will have exclusive use of the lodge during your stay. Each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with shower, reverse cycle air conditioning, dual electric blankets and up to 2 additional children's trundle beds may be hired for an additional fee. Please refer to the listing for bed configurations by room, please note all beds are king, queen or double size (no singles).

Enjoy uninterrupted views of The Adelaide Hills and Millbrook Reservoir Reserve from our semi-enclosed veranda, lawns and gazebo. Kangaroos, koalas and emus can often be seen in their natural habitat.

Perfect Getaway
This is the perfect getaway. The accommodation was amazing, very big kitchen and the walk-in fridge was so convenient. We had wintery weather and living area was warm and cozy with the log fires. Each room had its own bathroom and the beds were very comfortable. I would highly recommend and will definitely consider coming back.

Yearly wine getaway with best friends
Our group go away each year to a wine region in Australia. We chose Templewood near Adelaide Hills as it has accommodation for 4 couples including separate ensuites. The House was very large, with ample space, a great kitchen, lovely grounds and a warming open fire to enjoy our wine each night. The accommodation did not disappoint as the beds were comfortable with heating in each room. There were quite a generous array of supplies provided in the kitchen including the base ingredients for breakfast, tea, and a coffee pod machine. Travis also provided a lovely bottle of wine to enjoy.

Bridal party stay.
Our stay was wonderful. The house is amazing and very nicely setup. There was plenty for space for the Bride and bridesmaids to get ready, including hangers for the dresses and large full size mirrors. There is a large industrial kitchen and fridge, so we had no issues with keeping food and drinks cool, plus prepping snacks. The garden outside the house is also amazing and I loved all the different flowers. We had a very comfortable stay and would highly recommend it to others.

Mystery Party Fun
I wanted somewhere calm, pretty and opulent to celebrate with my friends for my 40th, and Templewood had it all. Every one of us returned to our families feeling relaxed and having had a splendid dose of country luxury.
