Main Information

Guests of The Louise will enjoy world-class food, wine and luxury combined in an intimate, understated, and informed blend.

Barossa Valley
The Barossa Valley is the wine capital of Australia and one of South Australia’s most highly regarded destinations. The image of the Barossa is depicted by rolling hills, picturesque villages clustered together and rows of vineyards framing an outback farming landscape.
Spring and Autumn are both fantastic seasons to visit the Barossa Valley, as the region is alive with colour and temperatures range from 17 – 26° C (62.6 – 78.8° F).
Accommodation Options and Facilities
Named for the hamlets on either side of The Louise, the Stonewell, Marananga and Bethany suites are tucked among private olive tree-shaded courtyards. Fifteen private villa-style suites boast high-ceilinged lounging spaces, luxuriously appointed Baillie Beds, ensuite bathrooms complete with deep bath tubs and outdoor showers and French doors opening onto vineyards and the waiting Barossa Valley.

Dining
Celebrating the world-renowned wines and produce of the Barossa it is found within, The Louise offers memorable dining showcasing international and Australian palates made with local, seasonal ingredients to deliver a gourmet experience. The Louise uses fresh produce grown in the kitchen garden and from nearby Barossan growers and famers. The embracing of permaculture ethos also ensures minimal waste, as by-products of your meal are integrated back into dishes via butcher meats, smallgoods, stocks, sauces, and more. Charming touches of freshly baked bread and rainwater carbonated on-site rounds off the exquisite, near carbon-neutral dining experience The Louise has to offer.
A highlight of this esteemed dining destination is the walk-in wine cellar, showcasing a carefully developed collection of wines including local Barossan favourites and premium boutique Australian wines from across the country.
