“A food and wine venture in one of the most prestigious vineyard regions in the world, The Louise and its acclaimed onsite restaurant, Appellation, play to your every sense while doubling down on pleasure.”

Hannah Lott-Schwartz, Travel + Leisure

The Louise, an idyllic luxury vineyard retreat, encompassing acclaimed restaurant Appellation, is situated on a gentle hill surrounded by hundreds of acres of vines, with breathtaking vistas across the world-renowned Barossa Valley.

Fifteen suites boast lounging spaces with open fireplaces and gourmet-stocked bars, shaded courtyards and marble-clad ensuites, each with its own private terrace and views over the surrounding vineyards.

Guests dine and relax in the main lodge, where sweeping curved walls reflect the lines of the landscape outside. Renowned for showcasing premium local ingredients, award-winning restaurant Appellation’s generously sized windows frame picturesque vineyard views and immerse diners in the environment.

Lounging spaces feature works commissioned by local artists and the walk-in cellar or ‘wine lantern’ is filled with a carefully curated selection reflecting the best of the Barossa, both old and new. Both art and cellar create a real sense of the place and its people.

“Guests are tempted out of their suites by a 24-hour cedar sauna, an infinity pool overlooking the vines and olive groves, and an unparalleled dining experience.”

Leading from a central walkway lined with the region’s signature grapevines, 15 private villa-style suites open onto rosemary-lined courtyards complete with outdoor seating.

With names honouring the neighbouring Barossa hamlets, the mindfully designed interiors of the Stonewell, Marananga and Bethany Suites emulate the feel of a European townhouse.

Guests make themselves at home in generous, high-ceilinged lounging spaces with feature fireplaces and luxuriously appointed king beds and ensuite bathrooms. Intimate workspaces lead to private outdoor courtyards with idyllic vistas and the waiting Barossa Valley. Ideal for families, the two-bedroom Bethany Suite is designed to offer a generous home-style, luxury lodging stay for families and couples, with contemporary interiors and easy access to the outdoors promising a stylish and fun Barossa getaway.

After a day’s adventuring, wine tasting and feasting, there are options for recovery at The Louise. Perfectly positioned to watch the sun set over the vineyards is the wet-edge lap pool, complemented by the nearby fitness centre and cedar sauna.
