We’ve stayed at some of the best B&B’s here and interstate and Hannah’s is right up with them! One soon exhausts all superlatives with the professional presentation of Anne, the incredible ambience of the location, and the outstanding quality of the cottage itself, which reflects the integrity of the hosts. Superb!!  A & K, SA

Thank you, Anne & Paul, for providing such an idyllic retreat- just the spot to celebrate our … wedding anniversary. Your attention to detail is wonderful and much appreciated. We were made to feel so special & spoilt. Thank you so much. M & M, SA

Anne & Paul- truly deserving SA Tourism Awards Gold Medal winners. Million dollar views, every need thought of- a stand out destination. Thank you for a fantastic few days- just what we needed! S & P, SA
Ps Loved the tennis court

Well, here we are once again 12 months later and once again had the most relaxing, enjoyable time at this lovely cottage. Ate way too much and that picnic hamper was lovely. Enough there for 4 people. Hope to be back some day. C & L, SA

To Anne & Paul: We had a great time at your lovely cottage, enjoying the comforts, food and animals! Despite the wild stormy weather we felt safe and cozy here. It was truly worth the long journey all the way from Singapore. We will definitely recommend this wonderful place to folks back home. We’re already planning our next trip here! Warmest wishes T & K, Singapore

We thoroughly enjoyed our (way too brief!) stay at Hannah’s. The attention to detail in the cottage is exceptional from the exquisite picture tiles in the bathroom through to the sumptuous food- sorry, couldn’t bear to leave any biscuits they were just too good! We hope to return for a longer stay in the near future. J & M, SA

One forgets how nice the Adelaide Hills are, even when they are in our own backyard. Up from Adelaide on some R&R, Hannah’s is the place to stay. So nice in fact we didn’t eat out but shopped locally and ate in. A & E, SA

We have been lucky enough to have spent 5 wonderful nights here in Hannah’s Cottage enjoying the delights of the surroundings. A sincere thank you to Anne & Paul for EVERYTHING- all your wonderful surprises which were greatly enjoyed & appreciated. D & A, Tasmania

A wonderfully relaxing weekend in beautiful surroundings. Thanks Anne & Paul for the lovely touches in the cottage and your welcoming surprises- the fresh flowers and the extremely comfortable bed were particularly appreciated. Dinner at Maximilian’s was superb, as was simply looking at the view from Hannah’s. We hope to re-acquaint ourselves with you and your friendly livestock sometime soon. D & B

Thanks Anne & Paul for an excellent honeymoon at this beautiful location. We had fun feeding the sheep & Thistle the horse. The cheese crackers were unreal so thank you.  M & L, SA

“Wow”. What an amazing place! Everything down to the finest detail has been thought of. All the little extras make this the perfect place to stay. Very special as we got engaged on this holiday! K & K, SA

Very peaceful and quiet. Hard to believe it is such a short distance to Adelaide. Very relaxing and comfortable. Enjoyed seeing / hearing lots of birds, feeding Thistle & Ronin sharing our breakfast with us! D & K, SA
What an awesome place to stay and relax away from the kids for a few days! Anne & Paul, you are wonderful hosts- you have thought of everything. We will be back to explore the rest of your property again. Thanks G & M, SA
Anne & Paul: What a gorgeous spot for a romantic holiday! The view is superb and the cottage so comfortable and relaxing. ….. they don’t have accommodation this beautiful in California! Merry Christmas and many thanks!   J & S, USA

Dear Anne & Paul: I absolutely enjoyed my stay at your lovely cottage, not only because it does carry my name but because one can feel and see the love and care you are putting in to this place. Thanks for the hospitality you showed me throughout my stay. This place is definitely on my “to do again” list.  Hannah, Germany

As we enjoy our more than ample provisions and look out across the roses to a sunlit valley of majestic gums, listening to a concerto of bird calls, we thank you for providing us with this perfect place to escape for a moment or two. P & S, Goolwa

Dear Paul & Anne
Thank you for allowing us to share in your piece of paradise! It was the most wonderful way to relax and enjoy a couple of days of tranquility! We have traveled and stayed in many places and find that the best is sometimes right near by! We have achieved our goal- to stop and unwind and I could think of no better place to do this! We look forward to coming back again sometime to experience a different season as it changes. L & V, SA

This was definitely the perfect spot to spend a couple of nights after our special wedding day. The champagne and candles when we arrived made it very special. The picnic hamper was also a lovely personal touch. The peace and quiet was exactly what the two of us needed after a hectic couple of months. You have a beautiful place. Thank you for sharing this with us. J & E, SA

Paul & Anne, our stay at Hannah’s cottage will forever be a very precious memory of enjoying god’s creation “The Adelaide Hills” in the superb ambience and comfort of your accommodation “Hannah’s Cottage”. Thank you for all the tasty, delightful goodies! S & M, NSW

We have had a lovely “too short” stay here at Hannah’s cottage. It is an idyllic place to stay. It must be wonderful to live here. Great bread, wonderful place. Hannah’s Cottage and your hospitality are a credit to you both. N & M, Victoria

Spending time here, soaking up all you have to offer (too many things to name), it really gave us a chance to indulge in each other and remind us why we work so hard!! Loved and appreciated everything- the view, the spa, the fire, wine, time to wind down, relax and enjoy each other. Couldn’t have done it the same without a place as special. Thank you again.  M & J, SA

Beautiful cottage, views & setting. Loved the little wrens out in the garden. Spa was a hit with my husband. Lovely break away. Enjoyed the walk down and across the hills. D & C, SA

Our second visit to Hannah’s. Anne and Paul your attention to detail is beyond belief. Thank you once again. M & P, Victoria    PS Balhannah Pub for food is a must.
