As the mist settles over the Adelaide Hills and the air turns crisp, we’re thrilled to unveil our specially crafted Winter Warmer Package – available exclusively during the winter months of 2025. This package brings together everything we love about winter in the Hills: cosy accommodation, warming food experiences, crackling fires, and the intimate charm that makes winter visits so special.
Escape the winter chill in one of our luxury villas where contemporary Asian-inspired design creates the perfect winter sanctuary. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the misty Hills landscape, while inside, plush bedding and stylish interiors welcome you to your home away from home.
Winter mornings in the Adelaide Hills deserve special treatment. That’s why each day of your stay begins with our gourmet breakfast featuring seasonal, locally-sourced produce. Think warm, freshly-baked pastries, hearty breakfast dishes that comfort and nourish, and barista-quality coffee to start your day of exploration.
“Winter breakfast at Sticky Rice is an experience in itself – we lingered over every bite while watching the morning mist roll across the hills outside our window.” – Kate & David, Perth
There’s something undeniably romantic about a private fireplace on a winter’s night. Your villa (except our Zen villa) comes fully stocked with ample firewood and our signature touch – gourmet marshmallows for toasting! Pair this with a glass of robust Adelaide Hills red wine, and you’ve discovered the true essence of winter indulgence.
Note: Our Zen villa guests receive premium gourmet chocolates in place of the fireplace experience – equally indulgent in a different way!
For 2025’s winter season only, we’re including our brand new DIY Curry Experience with your package. Here’s what awaits you:
Create a restaurant-quality curry dinner in the comfort of your villa – it’s like having your own private Sticky Rice cooking class! The perfect winter warming meal after a day exploring the Hills.
Winter transforms the Adelaide Hills wine region into a more intimate experience. As part of your package, you’ll enjoy a curated wine tasting journey featuring the region’s finest cool-climate wines. Winter is when the robust reds truly shine, and you’ll discover hidden gems that perfectly complement the season.
Our Winter Warmer Package is available only for mid-week stays (Monday to Thursday) between 11 May and 31 August 2025. Unlike our regular offerings, this special package combines all these winter experiences at a value that won’t be repeated – it’s truly a once-a-year opportunity to experience the best of winter in the Adelaide Hills.
“The DIY curry experience was such a highlight – cooking together in our beautiful villa kitchen with the fire going and then enjoying our creation with local wine. It felt special knowing this was something only available in winter.”
— Michael & Sophie, Adelaide
“Being able to cosy up by the fire with marshmallows after a day of wine tasting was magical. The perfect winter escape!”
— James & Emma, Sydney
Phone us on (08) 8339 1314 or visit our website to secure your exclusive Winter Warmer Package before the season ends. With limited villas and a strictly seasonal offering, this package won’t wait for the spring thaw!
