The Essence of Sequoia
Perched high on the ridgeline of Mount Lofty overlooking the patchwork vineyards of the Piccadilly Valley in the Adelaide Hills, Sequoia is an intimate, ultra-luxury adults-only lodge comprising just 14 architecturally designed 807 sq ft (75 sqm) suites. Rooted in sustainable craftsmanship, each suite features a sunken lounge with a stone-clad gas fireplace, panoramic valley-view daybed, celestial moon window for stargazing, switch-glass privacy windows, freestanding deep bathtub overlooking the valley, and a multi-directional double wellness shower.
Guests enjoy exclusive access to artesian spring-fed geothermal hot pools, guided Heysen Trail nature hikes among wild koalas, South Australian cheese and wine discovery experiences, and acclaimed 3 Chef Hat dining at Hardy’s Verandah Restaurant paired with a 170-year-old subterranean wine cellar.
