Romantic Queen of The Castle Escape - For 2

Jane 3 November 2022

A charmingly surreal experience. Amazing architecture. Delightful gardens. Culinary delights. Attention to detail. Friendly personalised hospitality.

Completely mind blowing

Michael 29 January 2022

I can not describe how much work has been put in to this castle it’s just mind blowing to see how much effort and creativity that two people can have and to create something so beautiful as Thorngrove Manner , I would highly recommend to stay here the whole experience was beyond word’s and I cannot wait to return in the future

Breathtaking…..

Thomas 15 October 2021

Words cannot describe this place. 
Pictures do this place no justice. If you are looking at the picture and saying wow, wait until you see it in person. 

I have travelled to a lot of places around the world and it’s crazy that something this beautiful is in SA’s backyard. As soon as we got here, we were greeted by Kenneth who showed us around and explained the story about this amazing place. We had a stunning dinner and are looking forward to breakfast in the morning!

I just wanted to say thanks again Kenneth and Nydia, this place is definitely breathtaking. Looking forward to staying here again next time we are in SA.

What an unforgettable experience

Daryl 20 August 2019

Thank you for helping make my wife's 60th birthday such a special occasion. The queen of the castle experience was just divine. What an amazing setting!! Unforgettable, I would thoroughly recommend this to everyone

Like being transported back in time...

Bonnie 5 April 2017

The attention to detail was remarkable and the place itself, its creation and inspiration were astonishing. Our rooms were stunning, our meals were delicious and beautifully presented...I honestly could use up all my positive adjectives on describing Thorngrove. It was wonderful. Having a fire lit during dessert so that, as we fell asleep, it was crackling and glowing with warmth...loved every minute of it.

Awesome Experience - well worth it

Nick 29 April 2016

Awesome dinner, huge breakfast. Room is spectacular - once in a lifetime experience. Roaring fire, castle feel - an awesome place to be on a freezing hills night. Plenty to do in the Aselaide Hills as well.
