Discover the Best of the Adelaide Hills: A Perfect Stay at Longview Vineyard
There’s something truly magical about the Adelaide Hills—a region where world-class wine, lush landscapes, and rich heritage come together. Whether you’re visiting for a weekend getaway or an extended escape, Longview Vineyard is the perfect base to explore some of the region’s most iconic attractions. Nestled just outside the historic township of Macclesfield, our property offers luxurious vineyard accommodation, a rejuvenating day spa, and a relaxed cellar door and restaurant experience.
Here’s our curated guide to nearby Adelaide Hills attractions that pair perfectly with your stay at Longview.
1. Explore Hahndorf's Historic Charm
Just a 25-minute drive from Longview, the charming village of Hahndorf is Australia’s oldest surviving German settlement. Spend a morning strolling down the main street lined with artisan shops, boutiques, and cosy cafés. From handcrafted leather goods to locally made candles, it’s the perfect spot to pick up a unique keepsake.
Don’t miss: A hearty German lunch and a pint of beer at the iconic Hahndorf Inn.
2. Pick Your Own at Beerenberg Farm
Located just outside Hahndorf, Beerenberg Farm is famous for its strawberry fields and premium preserves. Depending on the season, you can pick your own strawberries or explore their range of chutneys, jams, and sauces, perfect for taking a taste of the Hills home with you. We highly recommend snapping up their chocolate coated strawberries - you won’t regret it!
Why it pairs well with Longview: Bring your Beerenberg goodies back to your suite and enjoy them on your private deck with a glass of Longview wine.
3. Reconnect with Nature at Kuipto Forest
Looking to stretch your legs and soak in the serenity? Kuipto Forest is only a short drive from our property and offers a peaceful escape into nature. The Kuitpo Tree Climb is a must-try if you're up for some adventure. It's a high ropes course nestled in the treetops, perfect for families or couples seeking something fun and active.
Tip: Book a relaxing massage at our Day Spa afterward to unwind and reset.
4. Visit the Jurlique Farm
Just a stone’s throw from Longview, the Jurlique Farm in Biggs Flat is where the magic behind the iconic skincare brand begins. Take a guided tour through their biodynamic gardens, learn about their skincare philosophy, and enjoy the fragrant peace of the Hills countryside.
Why we love it: It’s a unique experience that connects visitors to the natural beauty and healing power of botanicals, something we also value deeply in our approach to wellness at Longview.
5. Take in the Views at Mount Lofty Summit
No trip to the Adelaide Hills is complete without a visit to the Mount Lofty Summit. Just 40 minutes from Longview, the panoramic views across Adelaide and the Gulf St Vincent are well worth the drive. It’s especially stunning at sunset or on a clear morning.
Add-on idea: Pick up a bottle of Longview’s Fortuna Sparkling Nebbiolo and enjoy a toast at the top.
