The Sunnyside of Mount Lofty House SUNNYSIDE INSTANT LAWN – TIFTUF HYBRID BERMUDA INSTALLATION

Mount Lofty House in Crafers South Australia was built back in 1852 by Yorkshire-born lawyer Arthur Hardy. Over 100 years the estate was bought and sold by numerous families. In 1983, deadly bushfires ravaged the area and Mount Lofty House among over 3,000 other buildings burnt down. In 1986, the building was restored and was turned into a luxury boutique hotel.
