This delicate dainty swallowtail butterfly chose a citrus tree as the perfect place to lay her eggs — if you watch closely, you’ll spot her carefully laying two tiny eggs. A quiet moment of wildlife, right there in the garden. Make sure to listen to the background sounds of birds. South Australia is rich in nature — from local wildlife and peaceful gardens to stunning beaches and so much more. It’s a place that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect. When yo

Following on from our visit with Mary at the Peterborough Print Shop, today we’re sharing more about the remarkable Intertype machine she spoke to us about. Mary shared the history of this particular machine — including that this one came from England, not America, and how the differences can be identified. It was fascinating to hear how these machines were once central to producing newspapers and printed material for regional communities, playing a vital role in how informat

🖨️ Step back in time at the historic Peterborough Times Printing Office, built in 1887 and now lovingly operated as a working museum by the dedicated  History Group. Set out exactly as it was throughout the 20th century until 2001, the print shop features original presses, inks, tools, paper stock, old templates and thousands of printed items. What was once layered with grease and grit has now been carefully cleaned, restored and preserved for future generations — a true lab

We’ve been spotting the race cars and safety cars cruising around Adelaide and North Adelaide recently — a sure sign that one of the biggest weekends on our city’s calendar is almost here. Our Adelaide Style Accommodation city homes are now full for this incredible event, and we love being part of the action by offering our guests a comfortable, memorable, home-away-from-home stay right in the heart of it all.

On the weekend, we collected our 10 boxes of soil, fertiliser, seeds and supplies from Trees For Life SA and have officially begun preparing to grow 600 Australian native trees this season These seedlings will be grown voluntarily for a landholder in Second Valley, south of Adelaide, supporting biodiversity, habitat regeneration and a healthier environment for generations to come.

We were delighted to welcome our lovely international guests from Italy last week — they even took the time to write a beautiful message in our guest book, in Italian. It’s always such a joy to welcome visitors from around the world and help them feel truly at home here in South Australia. These guests arrived on a late international flight, but that was no problem at all — we’d already arranged their personal check-in at 11.30pm, ensuring they could settle comfortably after

Meet the charming and uniquely Australian echidna. Did you know this spiny little fellow isn’t a hedgehog or a porcupine, but one of only a handful of mammals in the world that lay eggs? They also play a vital role in our environment by turning over soil and leaf litter — helping native plants grow and keeping our ecosystems healthy. At Adelaide Style Accommodation, we’re passionate about being environmentally friendly and celebrating the incredible wildlife that makes South

What an incredible week it’s been since opening night! We’ve had the chance to enjoy some brilliant films showcasing storytelling from around the world — and right here in South Australia.   “Deaf”  at Palace Nova, Rundle Street – a wonderfully acted, insightful and moving film that truly connects. No surprise it collected an Audience Award at Berlin.   “Jimmy Barnes: Working Class Man”  at Odeon Star Semaphore – an emotional journey through the life of a national icon, told

At Adelaide Style Accommodation, we love discovering little pieces of history that make South Australia such a fascinating place to explore. ️ Recently, we came across an old door with a lock that immediately caught our attention. Taking a closer look, we noticed a small, faded round imprint on the latch — and with a bit of curiosity (and research!), uncovered something quite remarkable! Imprinted on the lock were the words “WR Coat of Arms” and “JAS Carpenter Patentee No. 60

What a wonderful Saturday celebrating 100 years of Perryman's Bakery  in North Adelaide. From the smell of freshly baked treats to the smiles on everyone’s faces, the day was full of warmth, nostalgia, and community spirit.
