Overview

The Thorngrove Manor Hotel is a must-see Aussie Bucket List-worthy accommodation offering located near Adelaide, South Australia.

From the host: The iconic 5 star rated Thorngrove Manor has been a member of the prestigious Small Luxury Hotels of the World since 1995, ensuring an unparalleled commitment to excellence. The irreplicable Thorngrove Manor is a fusion of architectural art, boutique accommodation and the decorative and fine arts. Uncompromising authenticity highlights the magnificent architecture.

In 1984 the Thorngrove journey began; to create a unique, artistic and signature boutique hotel providing inspired and meaningful experiences for guests. Eschewing the corporate culture pre-occupied with budget results, glittery excess or formulated success, it was to be an enduring and evolving hotel, profoundly representational of its unique regional landscape, history, amenity, climate and community. Traditionally boutique/lodge hotels have predictable cultural lines of service and a commonality of experience, impersonal and institutional corridors, tedious check-in, noise from adjoining rooms, and customary herding to pre dinner drinks and strict dinner regimes.

With an inherent consciousness to differentiate, Thorngrove’ architectural uniqueness provides a dynamic and exquisitely crafted environment in which guests respond, providing a journey beyond the destination. Guest rooms are creative, flexible, evolving and individual, inspired by the architectural tradition of the region. Interiors are opulent, layered and enveloping.

It is a unique multi-towered hotel with an abundance of gables, spires and detailing, creating a mood of escapist fantasy and a timeless sense of history. The pointed arches and turrets, decorative plasterwork and elaborate portico entrances of the architecture, provide romantic and whimsical appeal designed to stimulate the senses and provide interactive architectural encounters. The artistic interior reflects rare craftsmanship, featuring select antique pieces, complemented by bespoke artisan-crafted furniture and modern amenities. Every detail is crafted to honour the vision, inspiring and captivating each guest. All guest areas are highly individual with an atmosphere of relaxed informality.

Suites are distinguished by their individual character, inspired by tradition, rusticity and elegant timelessness, to rooms of theatrical inspired artistry; all decorated with the utmost attention to detail and with a uniquely Australian contemporary twist. Each suite has been decorated individually to complement the architectural diversity. Suites are resplendent works of art, beauty and symmetry. To highlight the organic nature of the building in selected places the internal structure is presented externally, with rooms open to the structure above.

Privacy is absolute; you may never see the other guests. Safety and security is paramount with gates open only for arrival and departure of guests. A surrounding hedge delineates Thorngrove from the outside world, allowing guests to explore, discover and return.
