Barossa Valley – The Louise
Your journey begins in South Australia, where rolling vineyards meet gourmet indulgence. At The Louise, every stay is a blend of refined comfort and authentic local flavour. Wake to gourmet breakfast, toast sunset skies with pre-dinner drinks, and savour a set menu dinner paired with regional wines.
