It will include consisting of 160 rooms, retail shops, restaurant and bar facilities, plus extensive conferencing facilities.
Mr Rau said South Australia's appeal as a tourism destination is dependent on the development of new tourism products and experiences.
"We've identified further development of upmarket accommodation and attractions as essential to help us lure more high-yielding visitors from our target domestic and international markets," he said.
"The redevelopment will greatly add to the region's accommodation capacity and provide further quality tourism infrastructure in the region, providing tourists the opportunity to stay in luxury while enjoying some of Australia's best wine and coastal experiences."
