Welcome to the Morning Star
The Morning Star, dating back to the 1840s, officially operated as a hotel from 1855 and was a busy rest stop for travellers en-route to the Victorian goldfields. The hotel’s intriguing history as an important local gathering place for the growing farming community is filled with stories, including horse races, coach services, and even a two-cell jail.
The Morning Star is a historic property situated in Wistow, roughly 6km from the Mount Barker freeway exit in the beautiful Adelaide Hills. The main hotel building, which has now been converted to a stunning private residence, is surrounded by lush gardens and nods to the property’s history in the stone stables, chaff house, iron buggy shed, and other buildings now located on neighbouring properties.
Following historically respectful renovations to the stone stables by the current owners, Andrew and Christina, the space and its gorgeous gardens are now being offered for weddings and events.
