The Haus Hahndorf

What The Haus Hahndorf does

The Haus Hahndorf is a single-site hospitality operator located at 38A Main Street, Hahndorf, South Australia, approximately 20 minutes from Adelaide CBD. It runs a full-service restaurant open 7 days a week from 8am until late for breakfast, lunch and dinner, alongside multiple private event spaces (Heysen Room, Walnut Rooms, Private Outdoor Courtyard) capable of hosting 10–120+ guests for corporate functions, weddings and celebrations. The venue is part of The Haus Group, family-owned by the Duffield Family, with over 40 years of hospitality heritage in South Australia and a portfolio of awards including Best Venue Caterer (2018 SA Restaurant and Catering Awards) and South Australia Tourism Award Bronze (2017).

The business operates six monetisation streams: dine-in restaurant service (with a 12.5% Sunday/public holiday surcharge), events and functions, full-service weddings (including off-site catering and off-site ceremonies at The Cedars and Hahndorf Lavender Estate), takeaway and delivery via an online ordering platform, gift voucher sales, and accommodation bundles through a partnership with Haus Studios. Pricing on the wedding vertical ranges from $70 to $96.50 per person for plated or shared-platter menus, with drinks packages from $44.90 to $85.50 per head. The company runs a curated preferred-supplier network across florists, patisserie, AV/styling and party hire to deliver a single-point-of-contact wedding planning experience.

The underlying technology stack is built on standard third-party SaaS: NowBookIt for reservations and event enquiries, YourOrder.io for online ordering, and RMS Cloud for gift voucher and booking management. The events side is supported by state-of-the-art AV equipment and free on-site parking, with the Heysen Room highlighted as a modern conference space combining rustic regional charm with technology. Go-to-market is hybrid and direct-to-consumer, covering walk-in diners, tourists, corporate groups, and wedding couples through the venue's own website, organic social media, email marketing, SEO, review platforms (TripAdvisor), and word-of-mouth referrals.
