Global recognition for Sequoia Lodge in the Adelaide Hills



Luxury property Sequoia Lodge in the Adelaide Hills is the latest Australian property to be accepted into the exclusive Relais & Chateaux group, which represents 580 independently operated hotels and restaurants around the globe.

Relais & Chateaux recognises privately owned  top-notch hotels and restaurants.

Sequoia Lodge's custodians, South Australian hotelier David Horbelt and his family, together with business partner Malcolm Bean, developed the bijou lodge on the grounds of the historic Mount Lofty Estate, opening in August 2021.

Horbelt said Sequoia Lodge expanded on the story of the 175-year-old Mount Lofty Estate with 14 luxury suites offering 180-degree views of the vineyard of the Piccadilly Valley and "a level of opulence enhanced by exemplary personalised service and fine dining".

“The Lodge and its offering were born from our passion and deep connection with the beauty and history of the Adelaide Hills and the enduring hospitality story of Mount Lofty Estate, building on the much-awarded offering that Malcolm and I developed at Mount Lofty House,” he said.

“Surrounded by thousands of hectares of national parks and botanical gardens, Sequoia's guests connect not only with the land, but with its people through luxury bespoke experiences that celebrate our local artisans and produce.

“The Sequoia team's mission is to give guests an unparalleled journey of discovery of the Adelaide Hills' iconic food, wine, wellness, history and nature experiences through in-house dining and while exploring the region."

Each suite has a sunken lounge room featuring a stone-clad fireplace, a spa-retreat bathroom, and moon window allowing guests to sleep under the sky on a custom-made bed.

Artesian spring-fed pools, an infinity pool and a wildlife enclosure are within the lodge grounds.
