The hotel is located in a lovely suburb on the banks of the river with a serene atmosphere. The rooms offer a nice view of the Adelaide Hills but lack privacy curtains, which can be a drawback. The service is exceptional with convenient dry cleaning and laundry services. The dining experience includes an egg station and the facilities are top-notch. Overall, a great choice with some room for improvement.
