Fantastic stay in the Loft Room (even better than the photos)

The property is set in such a beautiful location in the Adelaide Hills where there is so much to do, but trust me you will not want to go out and about because the property and grounds are so beautiful, I didn't want to leave! My partner and I stayed over night in the loft room which felt so comfortable and luxurious. The property has so much history and character yet felt really modern and clean due to the renovation and upkeep. The owners were very easy to communicate with and accommodating which is always appreciated.

Quite and picturesque

We really enjoyed our stay. Even though that it was incredibly hot, the host did his absolute best to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We were there during fire danger season, all precautions were made to ensure we were safe.

Loft Stay - 1 night

Loved, loved, loved, loved this property. Thoughtfully and beautifully decorated, the owners have thought of everything to make your stay magical. It was one of the nicest places we've ever stayed and was our anniversary present to each other! Could not have chosen anywhere better in South Australia. All we kept saying was, 'if only we could stay all weekend'. Excellent breakfast provisions, beautiful fire, stunning 4 poster bed. Gorgeous location in the Hills, close to pubs for dinner. So thoughtfully and tastefully renovated. The history of the place, just adds to the whole experience. Thankyou so much. We will DEFINATELY be back.

Beautiful place

Lovely place to stay, very cosy and beautifully set up, just a very minor, tiny complaint would be windows could do with a clean so you could really enjoy the beautiful views while laying in bed, but rest of the place was spotless. There are lots of nice little seating areas outside to really relax and just listen to the wildlife, very peaceful, thank you

Perfect getaway

We stayed at Morialta Barns for 1 night in The Loft, and we couldn't have asked for a better mini-getaway. We arrived on an extremely cold, wet and foggy evening and Steve directed us from arrival and made the entire process very easy, showing us where everything was and how to get the fire cranking. The Loft was truly a beautiful space to stay in - from the quality of the furnishings to the way it has been decorated, you can tell instantly that love has been put into this heritage property. The fireplace warmed the room quickly, and we had a great time relaxing with a glass of wine in the silence of the Adelaide Hills. The perfect getaway from city life (without being far from the city at all!). We are hoping to visit for another stay in the warmer months to make use of what looked like (through the fog!) a beautiful outdoor courtyard area and spectacular view. Thank you for a fantastic stay!

Lovely stay

We stayed in the loft and it was just super cosy and gorgeous. Lovely outdoor area and cosy fire inside. Location is perfect, a short and beautiful walk to the pub and near morialta conservation park where we spent half a day trekking around. We would definitely return.

Stunning location, romantic getaway, friendly owner operated.

We stayed for 3 nights at Morialta Barns at the end of April, 2019. The property is a true country getaway - quiet and relaxing. Excellent walking tracks go through the property and we saw kangaroos and koalas. It is also close to many wineries and good restaurants. Steve the owner was friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this place.

Absolutely stunning

Absolutely loved everything about the Morialta Barns. Really interesting, unique and peaceful place. It’s just so lovely to see history restored. Would have really loved to read a detailed history of the place some of which Steve the owner touched on when we asked him. It was the only detail missing and I hope this gets completed when time permits.

Book it!

Morialta Barns have been renovated beautifully! Has everything we needed for a relaxing stay in the Adelaide Hills. Gorgeous grounds with wonderful views where you can sit with a glass of local wine and watch the birds while the sun goes down. We saw a koala in the wild occupying a tree next to The Scenic Hotel which is the nearest pub. The barns are close to everything - city, vineyards and beaches. Our hosts were helpful and unobtrusive so we felt we had privacy. Loved our stay and experienced that twinge of sadness at driving away.

Beautifully restored heritage-listed property with outstanding bed and breakfast accommodation. Excellent and tastefully decorated. Hosts are very welcoming with generous breakfast provisions.

Absolutely Amazing

My girlfriend and I stayed for a weekend and had an amazing time. The loft was very cosy with spectacular window views & wood fire to keep us warm in the night. The outside area was fit with tables where we could enjoy a glass of wine & witness the sunset. A 10/10 stay.

Lovely immaculate cottage

Beautiful setting stunning interior very clean and tidy inside and out but one fault would be is that more lighting is needed inside for reading and a light in the bathroom mirror would be handy. Bed was very comfortable. Owner Steve is very friendly and helpful. Lovely breakfast provisions are left for you to cook at leisure. Would have been nice for more coffee pods available and a later checkout time.
