Yesterday afternoon was spent at the magnificent Her Majesty’s Theatre, enjoying a matinee performance of The Great Gatsby: A Jazz Ballet Odyssey on the final day of its Adelaide season — and it certainly didn’t disappoint. With a full theatre, fabulous costumes, wonderful jazz, brilliant ballet and tap dancing, and ever-changing scenes, it was a colourful and engaging performance from beginning to end. A huge thank you and congratulations to the incredibly talented cast and

Father’s Day can mean something different to each of us. For some, it’s a day spent together – sharing a meal, enjoying a laugh, making a phone call or simply finding a little more time for one another. For others, it’s a day to reflect on treasured memories and remember someone very special. Today we celebrate and appreciate the dads, grandfathers, uncles, father figures, mentors and special people who have helped guide, support and shape our lives. At Adelaide Style Accommo

Recently we had the pleasure of visiting PWERLE Aboriginal Art Gallery in Hackney, just minutes from Adelaide’s CBD — and what a beautiful and moving experience. The stunning Aboriginal artworks immediately capture your attention, but it’s hearing Jade Torres share the stories, meaning and family connections behind the works that makes the experience so memorable. Many of the pieces have been created by members of Jade’s extended family, and her passion for family, art and bu

Eight years ago, Adelaide Style Accommodation began with a simple vision — to offer visitors to South Australia a welcoming home away from home, with space, comfort and a personal touch. Since 2018, what a journey it has been. Our accommodation has grown, we’ve welcomed guests from near and far, shared so many South Australian stories, achieved 4.5-star accreditation across our homes, received awards and recognition, and continued to discover new ways to make our guests’ stay

How often do we take a photograph without giving much thought to what it might capture for future generations? A building. A streetscape. The way people dressed. A moment in time. Recently, a book caught our eye — Captain Sweet’s Adelaide by Philip Pike and Julian Moore — and it reminded us just how powerful photography can be in telling the story of a city. Captain Samuel White Sweet, born in England in 1825, spent much of his early adult life in the Royal Navy before eventu

Sometimes the simplest moments are the ones we remember. Pour a cup of tea, sit outside and take in the garden — listen to the birds, watch the activity around you and enjoy having nowhere you need to rush off to. Catch up with family or friends you’re travelling with, reminisce about the day’s adventures or make plans for tomorrow. Or simply do nothing at all. After all, holidays are also about slowing down, switching off and giving yourself time to unwind. At Adelaide Style

As dusk settles over Adelaide, the magnificent leadlight windows of St Peter's Cathedral come alive, glowing with colour and reminding us why this beautiful city captures so many hearts. Just a short stroll from our North Adelaide homes, it's one of those special places that's even more magical when discovered in the evening. Wander the peaceful streets, admire the heritage architecture, enjoy dinner at a nearby café or restaurant, and experience Adelaide at a slower pace. Wh

It’s wonderful to receive an update from our Trees For Life (SA) landholder and see some of our 600 native seedlings second planting now safely planted in the ground with their tree guards in place. Tree guards play a vital role in giving young Australian native plants the best possible start. They help protect seedlings from browsing animals, reduce wind damage, create a sheltered microclimate and improve their chances of survival during those important early years. Every tr

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

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

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

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

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

Thanks to a fabulous event hosted by Barossa Circle at the stunning Kaesler Wines. From the moment you arrived, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and buzzing with conversation, connection, and support for local South Australian businesses. With the beautiful night sky, historic stone buildings, warm fire, and relaxed Barossa ambiance — it truly was a special evening. Kaesler Wines was the perfect setting — rich in Barossa history with vines dating back to 1893, beautiful ol

This year we’ve lovingly grown over 600 Australian native seedlings for Trees For Life (SA) — now waiting patiently to be collected by landholders ready for planting. Every tiny tree in this slow little video represents future habitat, healthier soil, cleaner air, shade, shelter, and food for beautiful native wildlife. Take a quiet moment to slowly enjoy them all… and make sure you watch to the end to hear the natural bird sounds captured during filming — a fitting reminder o
