Stay in the Hills, Dine Beyond the Ordinary: Your Base at Simon Tolley Lodge

Base yourself at Simon Tolley Lodge and experience the Adelaide Hills as your private retreat in wine country. Tucked in Woodside, the Lodge is designed for slow mornings, open fires, and easy access to some of South Australia’s most celebrated food and wine experiences.

Spend your days exploring the region’s growing reputation for world-class dining, with seasonal menus, local produce and a level of cooking that continues to attract international attention, including conversations around Michelin-style recognition for regional Australia. The Adelaide Hills is fast becoming a destination where fine dining and cool-climate wine meet in a truly memorable way.

From the Lodge, you can head out for long lunches, cellar door visits, and progressive dining experiences across nearby villages, then return to the comfort of your own space at Simon Tolley. For those seeking something further afield, make a weekend of it—travel to renowned dining destinations, explore the Adelaide Hills restaurant scene, or extend your journey to iconic coastal and international-inspired food hubs such as Aptos, before returning home to the Lodge.

At the end of the day, there is no need to rush. Settle back into the Lodge, pour a glass of Simon Tolley wine, and enjoy the quiet of the vineyard surrounds. Whether it’s a winter escape by the fire or a summer stay among the vines, the Lodge is your base for food, wine, and discovery.

Stay. Taste. Explore. Return.
