About this property

Luxury Accommodation in Hahndorf - Thiele House Retreat

For your added security, this property is only managed in Australia and we never request payments be made to overseas bank accounts

Think a chic mix of the luxurious, heritage and funk.
Situated in the heart of the Adelaide Hills, Thiele House Retreat is a secluded 3 to 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom short stay escape, sleeping up to 10 people comfortably (4 people in partial house option).
We offer a chilled bottle of wine on arrival along with a sweet snack. We have a beautiful courtyard with a table that seats 12 to 14 persons and the interior table seats 8 persons. We also have large lawned gardens by the creek.
The house has two wood burning fires with wood and kindling supplied and a Piano in the front lounge room. Thiele House has 2 bedrooms downstairs with king-size beds and access to ensuite - and 2 bedrooms upstairs - one has a king size double bed and the other bedroom has a double queen size bed and 2 single beds which is ideal to accommodate an extra 1 to 4 persons. NOTE - Access to the second bedroom is through the other upstairs bedroom. Children under 3 years of age using cots - Free of charge. 1 Cot and 1 High Chair Supplied.

Thiele House Retreat is located on the outskirts of the Main Street of Hahndorf, the oldest surviving German settlement and just 20 minutes from the CBD of Adelaide, via the freeway. Australia's best wineries and cellar doors neighbour The Retreat with the likes of The Lane Vineyard, Sidewood Estate, Sam Scott Wines, Hahndorf Hill Winery, Nepenthe, Somerled, Shaw & Smith and many more, just minutes away from the Hahndorf Township, whilst taking time to relax and recharge.

The property has 5 buildings on site, The front property is leased to Bracegirdles which is a chocolate house offering the best coffee in Hahndorf as well as a large range of chocolates and food.
We also have a cellar door, La Prova Wines. The old barn is The Blacksmiths Cafe and the double story building is an info-tec company. The accommodation is another separate building and was our old home, we now live in the office/apartment above the garages which is also a separate building. We state that we live on-site to discourage the property being used by those wishing to use accommodation for large parties, leaving the premises in a trashed state. All buildings are of stone construction, the oldest being built for the first couple of Germanic ancestory to be married in Australia. We are in the Main Street but the accommodation is 100 metres down the driveway, very quiet and private. All our guests appreciate the tranquility and proximity to the Hahndorf township and I'm sure you would also do so - unless of course, you are planning a wild rave party!! If so - our place is not for you.

Fantastic house to have all the family come together. Great commercial kitchen, large lounge spaces, large dining table, two fireplaces, AC. Location is spot on - just off the main road, walking distance to basically everything, but with the ease of private parking.

A very comfortable, beautiful and spacious house in a perfect location just off the main street of Hahndorf but very quiet. We were a party of 4 friends, we each had a very comfortable bedroom and there were two lovely living rooms so we had plenty of space. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed. The wood fires were wonderful!

Family Stay

Very roomy with comfy beds throughout. Two fire-places which heated up the house very cosily. A huge kitchen space! The location of this accommodation is spot-on and close to Hahndorfs shops, pubs and eateries. A very pleasant stay in lead-up to family wedding. Highly recommended.

Perfect Accommodation for Wedding Prep

Perfect location in Hahndorf to be able to walk to all the great pubs. Anthony was very helpful with my questions prior to our stay. We had a great morning getting ready for our daughters wedding, and there are some beautiful photos of her first look with her soon to be husband in the gardens behind the house.

Lovely Weekend

Spent a lovely weekend with friends from Sydney. Thiele House was a great location with a wonderful ambience. All the facilities were clean and modern, and we had everything at our doorstep in the main street of beautiful Hahndorf. We especially enjoyed the open fires on the cold winter nights. Thoroughly recommend.

A Hahndorf Highlight

Thiele House Retreat in the absolute heart of Hahndorf is simply the best accomodation in the region. This charming stone property manages to combine atmosphere, ambience, warmth and welcome in the one package, as well as all the modern conveniences one could wish for.

Disappointed

Not cleaned after prior guests upon our arrival so we were asked to leave for 2 hours. 4 hours later we were able to return. We had to purchase spare toilet paper, dishwasher tabs, and soap as it wasnt provided. The location was lovely except for the 7am wake up from a waste pumping truck operating right next door. The house itself was gorgeous but the experience was disappointing and not cheap.

Beautiful BnB for any bride to be!

I booked this immaculate house to stay in with my Mum and bridesmaids the night before my wedding. It was sensational in every way. Our photos in the garden and on the balcony are beautiful and I am so glad we booked it. The fireplaces were lovely for an (almost) winter stay. It made the place feel cozy even though it is huge. Each bed had an electic blanket and there are towel warmers in each bathroom. The hosts were friendly and helpful and provided wonderful breakfast provisions. The location is so convenient (especially for a bridal party with other guests staying in the main street of Hahndorf as so many other houses are further away). I would 100% recommend for any group booking but it was absolutely perfect as a lovely place for any bride to be.
