The Louise

Overview

Main Information

The Louise is an idyllic and award-winning vineyard retreat. Set atop a gentle hill with breathtaking, sun-dappled views across South Australia’s world-renowned Barossa wine region, this luxury lodge offers refreshing and contemporary ambience while celebrating the natural bounty of the region. Guests of The Louise will enjoy world-class food, wine and luxury combined in an intimate, understated, and informed blend.

Fifteen suites providing guest privacy and stunning vistas over the surrounding vineyards are on offer, each coming with a spacious gated courtyard and secluded rear terrace with lounging and sunning spaces. Contemporary and elegant interiors include generous ensuite bathrooms with spa baths, crisp linens, tasteful furnishings, and other premium amenities.

The Louise was founded on an ethos of five-star hospitality, and showcases a commitment to offer genuine wine-paired dining experiences which celebrate the region’s long-standing growers and producers. The centrepiece of the property is acclaimed on-site restaurant Appellation, widely regarded as one of Australia’s best regional fine dining destinations. The intimate, candle-lit evening restaurant offers a set seasonal selections menu, combining fresh seasonal cuisine with a world-class wine list. Produce is sourced from the on-site kitchen gardens and neighbouring producers of artisanal goods, while exceptional complementary wines range from world-renowned Barossan wine houses to more intimate cellar door producers.

The Louise’s team is dedicated to providing a relaxing, memorable five-star stay in the world-renowned Barossa.

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).

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. A select cellarmasters list includes French Champagne and exclusively Barossa vintages including Grange and Hill of Grace.
