At first glance, this is a beautiful bridge over still water. But look again... The calm water creates a perfect reflection, transforming four bridge arches into what appears to be eight. It's a simple reminder that sometimes the most beautiful moments reveal themselves when we slow down and take a second look. Life moves quickly, and it's easy to miss the little things that make a place so special. Whether it's a peaceful morning walk, a quiet moment by the water, or discove

Three weeks ago we shared a fascinating farm find – a historic piece of agricultural machinery that sparked plenty of interest, conversations and memories. Then something wonderful happened. Mary from the Peterborough Print Shop reached out with these words: "You brought back a memory Julie." She kindly shared this incredible vintage advertisement featuring Hugh V. McKay's Australian "Suntyne" Combined Drill and Cultivator. As we explored it further, we uncovered even more of

Last month, Adelaide Style Accommodation was proud to attend the South Australian Tourism Conference, where one of the highlights was the Tourism Town Awards networking evening—a celebration recognising the outstanding towns, tourism operators and people who help make South Australia such a remarkable place to visit. As a Tourism Town Awards judge, it was a privilege to witness firsthand the excitement, pride and genuine emotion as this year's winners were announced. Behind e

One of the things we hear most often from our guests is... "We wish we'd booked for longer!" 💛 With so much to see and do across South Australia, it's easy to discover that a few extra days simply aren't enough. As part of our ongoing commitment to creating memorable stays, we've added a beautiful new feature to our Close to City – Butterfly Home in North Adelaide. Captured by the owner during a visit to the breathtaking Flinders Ranges, this stunning landscape photograph ha

What if this was the view waiting for you at the end of your day? A beautiful South Australian winter sunset... ancient gum trees reaching into the evening sky... fresh country air... and the peaceful charm of historic Gawler. This isn't something we've found while travelling. This is the view our guests are lucky enough to experience when staying at Country Style Louisa. Travel isn't always about rushing from one attraction to the next. Sometimes it's about slowing down, wat

Did you know that on 21 June 1962 (64 years ago), what was then known as Para Wirra National Park was officially proclaimed, helping to protect this special piece of South Australia for generations to come? Today, it's a wonderful time to reflect on the vision of those who recognised the importance of conserving this beautiful landscape. Imagine how many native trees, wildflowers, orchids, birds, reptiles, insects and other wildlife have flourished over the past 64 years beca

One of the joys of being on holiday is having the time to slow down, wander, explore and discover things you might normally rush past during a busy working week. Today we enjoyed the wonderful atmosphere in Rundle Mall, which is currently celebrating 50 years and buzzing with activity. From the colourful displays and markets to live music performances and Adelaide's famous 3 bronze pigs and Mall's Balls, there was plenty to see and enjoy. When you're working, shopping is ofte

This week we had the pleasure of attending Pretty Woman: The Musical at the beautiful Her Majesty's Theatre in Adelaide and what a fabulous night out! Colourful, fun, entertaining and full of energy, it brings the much-loved story to life on stage with wonderful performances, great music and plenty of laughs. We thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it if you're looking for a special night out. And let's not forget the venue itself! Her Majesty's Theatre is absolutely st

If you've been following our journey growing 600 Australian native seedlings with Trees For Life (SA) this year, here's a little update on where they are now. Recently, our 600 Australian native seedlings (or "tree babies" as we've affectionately called them throughout the growing process!) made the journey from the city to the countryside when they were collected by the landholder and carefully transported on the back of a ute to their new home. The landholder has since sha

What a fabulous evening at the @frenchaustralianchamber FACCI Gala! As a proud FACCI member, it was wonderful to connect with so many people from across the business community, enjoy some fantastic conversations, meet passionate South Australian wine producers and support the event with a silent auction prize from Adelaide Style Accommodation. A huge thank you to Florence Masters and her team for creating such a memorable evening. We were also treated to a beautiful performa

History Friday - a fascinating farm find ... One of the things I enjoy most about travelling around South Australia is stumbling across unexpected pieces of history. Recently, I spotted this intriguing piece of machinery sitting quietly on a verandah. Thankfully it was under cover and being preserved rather than left out in the weather. Naturally, my curiosity got the better of me, so I decided to find out more. What I discovered was a fascinating connection to Australia's ag

The ocean can sometimes feel a long way away, but the truth is that what each of us does every day matters. Every piece of litter picked up, every reusable item chosen over a disposable one, every tree planted, every bottle recycled and every effort to care for our local environment contributes to the health of our planet and ultimately our oceans. Today is a reminder that positive change doesn't always come from grand gestures. Often it comes from ordinary people making thou

From live theatre and music to galleries, laneway dining and winter events, Adelaide's cultural calendar never really stops. Right now, the Adelaide Cabaret Festival (4–21 June) is bringing world-class entertainment to the heart of the city. This year's program includes performances such as Em Rusciano's Addicted to Love and What's The Buzz?, featuring cast members from Jesus Christ Superstar sharing songs and behind-the-scenes stories. Whether you're planning a weekend escap

Behind every great South Australian holiday is a little local knowledge. That's why we love collecting brochures, maps, event guides and local recommendations from Visitor Information Centres across South Australia. Behind the scenes, you'll often find us updating our guest information folders and travel directories, helping guests discover places they may never have thought to visit. We have a growing collection covering many different regions of our beautiful state. Whether

No visit to Adelaide is complete without a trip to the iconic Adelaide Central Market. From fresh local produce and artisan cheeses to coffee, pastries and flavours from around the world, it's a feast for the senses and one of our favourite places to recommend to guests. Staying in our award-winning 4.5-star Adelaide Style Accommodation homes? Exploring is easy. From our North Adelaide homes, you can take the free City Connector Bus to the Market and many other Adelaide attra

Tomorrow is one of those days that makes us both happy and a little sad. After six months of care, our 600 Trees For Life (SA) seedlings will be collected and begin their journey to their new home in the South Australian landscape. We've watched them grow from tiny seeds into strong young plants, so it's hard not to become attached! Today we spoke with the landholder who is eagerly awaiting their arrival. It was wonderful to hear how much preparation has already gone into giv

After some welcome rain across South Australia, our gardens are buzzing again… and moments like this remind us that nature slows us down in the best possible way. These busy little bees were captured recently enjoying native flowers around our homes — a small but important reminder that every native plant, every tree grown, every garden space created can help support biodiversity. Then, just as quickly, the skies changed and rewarded us with a rainbow. For visitors to South A

History Friday - History truly came to life for us recently aboard the magnificent Clipper Ship City of Adelaide during the South Australia's History Festival. The “Women of the Ship” presentation was an unforgettable experience — with passionate volunteers bringing real stories to life through research, diaries, costumes, and beautifully told performances representing women connected to the ship across its incredible 162-year history. Did you know the City of Adelaide was sp
