Eco Style Tuesday - Sturt’s Desert Pea

We spent the day in Goolwa on the Fleurieu Peninsula and honestly — it was just beautiful. Sunshine, fresh air, pelicans gliding overhead and that relaxed coastal feeling you wish you could bottle up. We stopped in for lunch at Imbiss on the Elbow   on the Goolwa Wharf — such a great find. Sitting there watching the boats come and go while enjoying authentic German food (and a stein of beer ) felt pretty special. The food, the view, the atmosphere… all just worked. At the Imb

Last weekend we had the privilege of experiencing the red carpet opening of Cluedo The Play at Her Majesty's Theatre Adelaide  — and what a magnificent night it was.  A little history… Her Majesty’s Theatre has been at the heart of Adelaide’s cultural scene since 1913, beautifully restored to continue welcoming world-class performances while honouring its rich heritage. Cluedo The Play is a brilliant comedy now showing in South Australia — funny, fast-paced and full of clever

In the quiet of evening, a koala walks slowly along the footpath… Not lost. But searching. Searching for familiar trees. A safe hollow. A place to belong. Koalas are nocturnal mammals, and like all mammals, they give birth to tiny, underdeveloped young called joeys. After birth, the joey instinctively climbs into its mother’s pouch, where it continues to grow safely for around six months. When it emerges, it rides gently on her back, clinging to her fur as she moves through t

It also reflects the environmental projects we were proud to engage in — from supporting nature, growing and nurturing plants,

After the warm days we’ve had recently, our birdbath at Country Style Louisa has been a popular stop This time, a rainbow lorikeet — one of Australia’s most colourful Australian native birds — came in to visit. Earlier there were two enjoying a refreshing bath together, such a joy to watch that we couldn’t help but grab the camera. This little moment was captured afterwards — just one lorikeet on its own, pausing, drinking, and soaking up the calm of the garden. These are the

A Little More From Our Visit to Peterborough A fortnight ago on History Friday, we shared our visit to the wonderful Peterborough Printing History Museum — and today, we’re excited to bring you a little more from that experience. This time, Mary takes us deeper into the world of the Cropper Printing Press, the beautiful foot-treadle machine we showed briefly in our first story. After looking further into its history, I’m even more amazed by what this humble press meant for sm

There’s something truly special about spotting emus wandering freely with their adorable chicks trotting closely behind. Watching a devoted father emu guide his little family through native grasses and open South Australian landscapes is one of those unforgettable moments that makes you pause — a reminder of how incredible our wildlife really is. These gentle giants are often seen across regional South Australia, and yes, even within a 50-minute drive of Adelaide if you know

🖨️ 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

Watch our video We’ll be sharing updates throughout the growing season — including the native

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

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
