Pavilions at Lenswood

Our stay at Fika was 5 star, relaxing, serene,sheer luxury and beautiful, peaceful grounds to explore. A wonderful spot to rejuvenate and be amongst the animals, (fun to feed them ) and nature. The two storey accommodation had very comfortable beds, luxurious bathrooms and every need was covered, from fluffy bathrobes to swimming in the heated pool and lazing on the deck. Staying at Fika was a great opportunity to visit local wineries, cute little pubs and other Hills towns close by. A very memorable 2 night stay

I really wish I could give this place a glowing, 5 star review. I suspect when these pavilions were first built that they were really something. Our accomodation was tired and not that comfortable. The couch was so worn and the kitchen was showing lots of wear and tear. For a facility that is claiming luxury, we didn't leave feeling like we had a special experience. Milo, Weetbix, 2 coffee pods and 3 eggs do not say luxury to me (we stayed 2 nights). There was no complimentary wine, which is unusual for a BnB in the Adelaide Hills. We were there for a special birthday so we had brought sparkling wine. No champagne flutes provided, which we found unusual. The accommodation guide has numerous pages that are water stained and very worn. No table and chairs either to sit and have a meal. On the plus side the spa bath was lovely, the bed was quite comfortable and provisions left to feed the local goats/cattle was a bonus. For what we paid per night, we were expecting something really special and that just didn't happen. It was all a bit deflating.
