THORNGROVE MANOR

Since opening in 1986 this very distinctive property has constantly received awards and accolades for its innovative style and has set a benchmark as the finest five star lodge  style accommodation in South Australia. It's also a winner of the prestigious Reed Travel Group, Super Star Award in 1997.  It is definitely not a typical 5 star hotel.

It's multi-towered castle like appearance with an abundance of gables  and turrets creates a mood of escapist fantasy.   This unique accommodation is flamboyant, creative and very individual.  It has been designed for the first class traveler looking for a rewarding and refreshingly different experience.  The interior reflects rare craftsmanship featuring very select antique pieces complemented by modern amenities.

All guest areas are highly individual and romantic and privacy is absolute. You may never  see other guests.  Security is paramount with the gates  opened only for arrival and departure of guests.

The resident owners/managers are always on hand to  extend a warm and friendly welcome and to ensure the highest degree of personal attention to detail throughout your stay and are always happy to oblige with touring options.

Thorngrove prides itself on personalized service and hospitality and offers guests the opportunity to meet real Australians and truly experience the Australian lifestyle.

The manor is only a 20 minute drive from the city center, 35 minutes from the airport and 30 minutes from the rail terminal.

Thorngrove is situated in an area rich in heritage and scenery, positioned to take advantage of both city and country pursuits.

Thorngrove is the ideal base for a visit to Adelaide and  South Australia.

You are able to experience the best of Australian wildlife parks  and sanctuaries.  Visit nearby premium international  wineries and historic villages and take day trips to Kangaroo Island and the Barossa Valley if you desire.

Chauffeured days tours or transfers  are available using vintage  Chevrolets or  Rolls Royce vehicles.

Local commercial facilities, such as  international banking, postal services and shopping with a myriad of cafes and restaurants are only a five minute walk down a leafy historic walking trail.
