Sticky Rice Villas
Stirling, Australia · Independent · Accessible Luxury



Three private villas behind Stirling's Sticky Rice Cooking School turn a stay into a choice between Balinese, Japanese and Thai design. Each opens through floor-to-ceiling glass to a walled courtyard and garden, with underfloor heating for cool Adelaide Hills nights. Cooking classes and chef-led packages make this as much a culinary address as a villa retreat.
