In Stirling in the Adelaide Hills, around 20 minutes from central Adelaide, Thorngrove Manor rises from landscaped gardens as an eccentric, castle-like work of architecture. Each suite is individually composed with antiques, sculptural details, fireplaces and secluded sitting areas, creating distinct rooms rather than a repeated hotel template. Dining is arranged privately, from antique-filled settings to meals served in-suite, with menus tailored to the intimate scale. Terraces, paths and ornamental gardens surround the manor, reinforcing the sense of privacy at this singular small property.
