Review the louise Nice enough facilities but run by back packers mainly Awkward , difficult moments occur often, where staff are overwhelmed Our room was north facing so 6am sun streaming into bedroom around blinds (see pic taken at 6).facilities otherwise good. Clean. Tiny tv not in main room where bed is, but in side room. Gym laughable. Treadmills(2) so old and weak, when you stood on the moving mat, the Mat would stop because either the friction was too great or the motor was too weak. Both were the same. There was a stationary bike that was literally a low use domestic type of bike. I’m 6 foot three and looked like a monkey peddling it because it was so small. The fact that no Manager had ever checked them out or tried them themselves means the standard is just not Up2scratch I asked for a toothbrush because I forgot mine. I knew the answer before they told me. No The deal at the Louise is that it’s all inclusive. But if you have a cocktail like a Negroni, it’s $25. You can have a cheap house wine or a beer. I am unaware about something like a gin and tonic. Probably extra. At the prices you’re paying at this place. They should be giving you everything because the type of customer comes here doesn’t even drink much. No nuts or chips to snack on in room. Think these have to be ordered from the main desk At the degustation dinner, you have to continually ask for some more wine because the glasses were small and they were not eager to refill them. They also served a white one that was un drinkable by everyone, but we were told it was a Style and we didn’t appreciate it because it was six years old. In my 40 years of drinking wine, I never tasted anything like that. . It looks like a urine sample from a dehydrated person. I asked for some extra bread and I was told there was still one slice in the basket and before she asked the kitchen to make some more bread(apparently they baked it) would I take the last piece instead? My point for asking was that I didn’t want to take the last piece so there was still bread on the table All inclusive should be generously offered I always felt like I was asking for a little more Sadly Won’t be back

An easy hour-ish drive from Adelaide, right in the middle of Barossa Valley, a short drive from the various wineries in the region and just around the corner from Torbreck. For this trip the main destination was to see Southern Ocean Lodge (Kangaroo Island) but with the flight times not connecting very well, this ended being my "transit" hotel.   The hotel is a short drive to most vineyards and just down the road from Torbreck.  The room was cozy with the front courtyard space bathed in sunlight competing with the backyard looking out to the vineyards.  Great minibar-- well stocked with all kinds of wine and snacks, comfy bed, spacious bathroom, good selection of reading material (lots of lovely travel related coffee table books) the best part for me was probably the Appellation restaurant, wonderful ten course menu with wine matching, a three hour affair....    Oh boy.. Thankfully the room was just stumbling distance.  Only issues - wifi in restaurant almost non existent.  99.9pc of guests won't care, but so used to being connected to wifi all the time.
