Strathlyn Estate offers the best of three worlds: a historic in-house bed and breakfast for lovers of hosted accommodation, the charm of the Coach House and the modern style of the Apartment for those who like their own space.

The in-house Lily and Rose suites are delightful, each with its own private verandah entrance and indulgent spa ensuite. Antiques, Asian silks and crisp linens whisper quiet luxury. Host Heather Anderson provides a full breakfast in the dining room, where touring tips can be swapped for the day ahead.

The Coach House is utterly charming – made from stone and timber and set at the bottom of an orchard overlooking vineyards. For a contemporary alternative, the Apartment offers a very different style. Here, there is something for everyone, making the Estate ideal for groups travelling together. After settling in, you can walk to award winning restaurants, explore antique shops and delectable regional gourmet stores and, of course, visit the local wineries before relaxing back at the Estate's beautiful gardens.
