We were given a 2 night stay at The Lodge at Seppeltsfield to celebrate a big birthday recently. It transpires The Lodge has been bought back by the Seppeltsfield winery in the last 6 months, so all previous reviews are from former owners. We arrived at 2pm and were met by Jonathan, who's the new Guest Co-ordinator. He was lovely and very welcoming, telling us we had the place to ourselves so could choose which room we'd like. He showed us where the tea/coffee etc was and prepared the fire for the evening. He suggested Room 4 was the 'better' room which we took. It seemed like no one had been in the Lodge recently as it felt cool, albeit heating was on. To be honest, it felt cold and a bit uncared for ... as if previous owners had left and nothing had been done to it since! Perhaps it was because it was such a large 'empty' house for just the 2 of us? There are 5 rooms available - 4 at one end of the house and the others at the front where previous owners lived we believe. There is a commercial kitchen in between. Room 4 was large and comfortable, with tv on wall. Linen and king bed was good. Bathroom, on the other hand, felt a bit tired - shower, loo & basin - with heater lamp to take the chill off. Shower was fine having said that. Jonathan arranged to pop back around 8.15am to do brekky. Choice was fine. Homemade granola, cereal, berry compote and yogurt. He'd got fresh bread from Tanunda on way over. Tea & pod coffee available, with juices. Menu offered eggs in various guises, if required. Oh, forgot to mention, Anzac bickies were left to enjoy at any time! Honesty bar available - Seppeltsfield wines and local gins, and free glass of tawny port too. Appreciate its Winter, but front garden was in need of a **** and tidy! We enjoyed exploring an area of Australia we'd never visited before, and sampling Seppeltsfield wines and ports.
