Find the Cheap Dawesley Hotels

It was the first time since Covid we have had the opportunity to visit Handorf and it was wonderful. The experience was made even better by the welcoming and friendly staff at the Studios by Haus. Rooms were beautifully appointed and sparklingly clean. Have to also add the food at the restaurant was amazing. They have completely won us over and cannot wait to return. Thank you!

Was attending a conference at the Adelaide Hills Conference Centre but was after something more central to the town, where I could park my car and walk to nearby cafes/restaurants/shops. Manna by Haus ticked all the boxes. The reception is right on Hahndorf's main street, and the rear parking area is accessible via Auricht Road. I arrived after 6:30pm, when the reception had closed but a quick call to their afterhours number and I was able to access my keys via the electronic key box. It is more of an upmarket motel then a hotel. I had an executive room with a king bed, in the middle of the complex. The room was extremely spacious, and light and airy - looked like it had been recently renovated in a simple Scandanavian style (very much like the photos on the website). I would probably avoid the units at the rear which access directly onto the carparking area or the units near the public toilets. I found that the bed was super comfortable (would have liked a firmer pillow) and I used the king-sized blanket at night, even though the A/C kept the rood warm. The bathroom was well set out and had great water pressure. The glass sliding doors at the end of the room, opened directly out onto the circulation space and the entrances to the other rooms, which was a bit weird, and whilst the weather was inclement at times there were some smokers who sat there talking for most of the evening. The carparking area is relatively small and though I always managed to find a spot in the late evening (even the electric charging bays were occupied by non-electric vehicles). I could image that during peak times that parking bays would be at a premium. Most of the circulation spaces are open to the elements which means if it is raining you are likely to get wet going to your rooms from the reception or the car parking area (also be carefully some of the paving areas can get slippery). Reception does have a limited number of umbrellas, but you have to get there first. The Manna by Haus met all my needs for my trip to Hahndorf, so I would happily recommend it to anyone visiting the Adelaide Hills.

The Lodge is in a really excellent location for a stay in Hahndorf, set back off the main street behind the Hahndorf Inn. The place has a kind of classic motel feel to it, informal with a spacious, comfortable, well equipped room that could do with some updating, particularly the bathroom. We were not bothered by this, considering it as character and would definitely be happy to stay here again on a future visit.

I stayed at the Old Mill for work. Admittedly, I did choose the cheapest room, but it really wasn’t much good. Whilst the basic nature of the room was bearable, it was a few other factors that made the stay a little disappointing. Firstly, bedheads in the rooms are against the shared wall and the walls are thin. Lest say you can hear everything from the amorous couple next door (first night) and the screaming child at 5am (second night). Also, the decorative lights outside the rooms/ part of the street frontage are on all night and the room curtains are not block out material. Hence the rooms are quite bright, even with the spare blankets draped in the windows. I’d suggest if you’re considering staying at the Old Mill, book one of the other courtyard rooms or ask for a room not next to anyone else.

We had a two bedroom cabin and it exceeded expectations. Approaching the cabin through the grounds is very picturesque with the lake and greenery. The parking was next to the cabin, conveniently. The cabin furnishings and decor were modern and appealing. The rooms were spacious and it had all the modern, upmarket amenities required, including electric blankets. It was clean and fresh and a pleasure to walk into. We enjoyed eating on the private back patio with the garden backdrop. The property is opposite the popular market store and a couple of minutes drive from the centre of Hahndorf. Our only criticism was that although both bedrooms had heating, the living area did not and had to rely on the bedroom heaters to heat the whole space. We were very pleased with our choice overall and would highly recommend.

Our first time to SA and absolutely loved the location and vineyard stay. We pulled up in our taxi after an hour drive from the airport - not sure where to check in - as it needs a bit of signage. dragged our bags up to reception and up the steps - while a few of the staff where sitting there watching us as they sipped their wine. barely got a hello from them and then got told ””be with you in a moment” - when there was no-one else there except for us. Then a receptionist came out from around the back somewhere and barely greeted us. only really worried about our credit card - which accommodation had already been paid for months in advance. our friends were coming in later that night too and was worried about their credit card and that reception was shutting soon and no body was going to be there. Didn't really explain anything to us - no mention of wine tasting or anything that was on offer. We didn't even really get told where our room was so had to ask which way to go to our room. Did not see one person for the 4 days we were there. It is a fantastic place- just a little more service and hospitality would be nice - as you are paying a good price to stay there - it just took the shine off a little. otherwise would of been 5 stars.
