About this stay

The kitchen is the whole pitch here: a full one, not a kettle-and-microwave setup, which changes the shape of a family stay when Hahndorf Farm Barn is only five minutes away by taxi and the kids want an early dinner after a day with the animals. Free parking and free Wi-Fi round out a stay built for a family settling in for more than a night or two rather than passing through. The walk to Stop 63 on Adelaide Road puts a bus option within four minutes for anyone leaving the car parked for a day. Hungry Jack's a minute's walk away covers the nights nobody wants to cook, which happens on any longer trip.

Our take

This suits a family staying several nights who would rather cook than eat out after a day at Hahndorf Farm Barn or the Main Street shops. The full kitchen and apartment layout give more room than a standard hotel floor, which matters with young kids and a pram. It is not the pick for a one-night stopover, since the apartment format rewards a longer stay.

  • ✓Stock the kitchen on arrival day, the apartment format pays off most on longer stays with kids.
  • ✓Book the taxi to Hahndorf Farm Barn for a morning slot, it is calmer before the afternoon school groups arrive.
  • ✓Use Stop 63 on Adelaide Road for a car-free day into the village rather than driving and re-parking.

Why guests love it

Grandview Accommodation, The Elm Tree Apartments, is a 4-star self-contained stay about five minutes by taxi from Hahndorf Farm Barn. The full kitchen suits families who prefer to cook rather than eat out every night of a longer Adelaide Hills stay, and parking and Wi-Fi are free, with a bus stop close by for a day without the car. Guests rate it 9.8 across 30 reviews. My editorial advice: plan the farm for a morning and cook simple dinners in the apartment.
