We’re delighted to share that Adelaide Style Accommodation has achieved EcoStar Accreditation EcoStar recognises tourism businesses demonstrating a high level of responsible environmental management and a commitment to sustainable tourism. Going through the EcoStar program was also a really valuable opportunity to reflect on what we are already doing — from our native gardens and butterfly habitat to growing approximately 600 native seedlings each year for Trees For Life SA,

A windmill, a rainwater tank and a field of golden canola… a simple reminder of how valuable our natural resources are. For generations, windmills have helped pump water on farms, while rainwater tanks capture and store precious rainfall for when it’s needed. In South Australia, where water is such an important resource, capturing, storing and using water wisely is a simple but meaningful part of sustainable living. There’s something lovely about seeing these practical, time-

The blossoms are bursting into colour, our beautiful wildflowers are appearing, and the birds—and their noisy little ones—are filling the air with their wonderful sounds. It really is a stunning time of year to slow down, step outside and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature across South Australia. Plan your trip to South Australia and stay in one of our award-winning, 4.5 Star Accredited self-contained homes. #visitsouthaustralia #homeawayfromhome #livikealocal #spring #sou

If you love discovering wonderful places to eat while exploring South Australia, add Maison Cheryse in Greenock to your list! We recently visited this beautiful artisan patisserie, which has relocated from its former home at Kaesler Wines in Nuriootpa to a gorgeous new space in Greenock. And what a transformation! You can certainly see the work that has gone into creating such a welcoming destination. 💛 The food is simply divine. Take a look at some of our photos of the incr

This month Adelaide is celebrating a very special milestone – 50 years of Rundle Mall. On 1 September 1976, Rundle Mall officially opened after part of Rundle Street was transformed into a pedestrian precinct. And what an opening it was!. Around 10,000 people gathered to celebrate, then-Premier Don Dunstan arrived by horse and cart, the SA Police Marching Band played – and perhaps one of the best stories of all… champagne flowed through the fountain! Over the next five decade

What fabulous weather Adelaide is enjoying for this year’s Royal Adelaide Show! There’s something about Show time that brings out the child in all of us – from the baby animals and agricultural displays to the pavilions, rides, entertainment, food and, of course, those much-loved showbags! And make sure you check out The 60 Four while you’re there. This fabulous South Australian group is performing twice daily at this year’s Show, bringing their high-energy ’60s and ’70s mus

Have you ever tried to photograph a butterfly? They rarely stay still for long! Sometimes it is simply about watching, waiting and being patient for that special moment. This beautiful Common Eggfly (Hypolimnas bolina) absolutely captivated us. Its dark wings reveal striking flashes of blue-purple and white when the light catches them – certainly worth waiting for that photograph! The Common Eggfly is usually a butterfly of tropical northern Australia, but here’s something fa

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

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

Blue skies, clouds reflected on the water, nature all around — and beautiful Adelaide right there in the background. Sometimes a photo says it all. If South Australia has been tempting you, perhaps it’s time to start planning that visit. When you stay with Adelaide Style Accommodation, you can settle in and enjoy your own private home, with local knowledge, genuine South Australian hospitality and the reassurance that we’re only ever a call or message away if you need us duri

We love discovering creative touches like this wonderful mural by Vinko Design on Grange Road, bringing a splash of colour and personality to the streetscape. Vinko is an Adelaide-based artist and visual storyteller, with a passion for design, tattooing and large-scale murals. His work celebrates emotion, culture and individuality — and this one captures something many of us can relate to… a good coffee! Located close to shopping, Drakes and local cafés, it’s a lovely reminde

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

What a beautiful sight across South Australia at the moment. This photo, taken here in Gawler, captures one of our local rivers flowing strongly after the welcome winter rain we've been experiencing. Gawler is shaped by its waterways — the North Para River and South Para River meet here to form the Gawler River — and at the moment they're certainly putting on a show. Across South Australia, this welcome rain is bringing fresh life to our landscapes. In a state known for its n

This week we're proudly celebrating Buy SA Week, but supporting South Australian businesses is something we believe in all year round. Every time you choose a South Australian product, you're helping support local businesses, local families, local jobs and our state's economy. That's something worth celebrating. At Adelaide Style Accommodation, we love giving our guests a genuine taste of South Australia. When they arrive, they'll often find a selection of delicious South Aus

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
