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

No rush. No timetable. Just winding country roads, towering gum trees, fresh country air and the simple joy of seeing where the road takes you. This is the South Australia we love.

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

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.

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

South Australia is looking beautifully green after recent rains — and sometimes the best journeys aren’t rushed. They’re found exploring places with stories… discovering regional towns, vineyards, heritage, local produce, and taking time to appreciate the landscapes around us. Whether travelling for work, visiting family, enjoying a festival, exploring history or planning a longer regional escape, we love sharing local tips to help guests discover more of our wonderful State.

Wow… what a crowd! Despite a little rain on 8 May, it certainly didn’t deter the many people keen to step back in time and join Dr Barry Blundell APM from the South Australian Police Historical Society on a fascinating walking tour through historic Port Adelaide. Murders, mysteries, robberies, stories of policing in the early days… and glimpses into harder times when finding work (or not finding work) could shape lives. One of the highlights was the audio shared along the ro

If you’re exploring South Australia during this month’s History Festival, make sure you allow time to wander through the streets of historic Port Adelaide and discover its incredible outdoor art gallery.

Featuring two Australian fair

Scattered quietly across parts of the Flinders Ranges are graves like these — simple, weathered, and deeply connected to South Australia’s early history. What draws you in isn’t just their age… it’s the way they were built. Simple, layered stone… carefully placed by hand.

Out on a walk recently, we spotted these two very different butterflies at two different moments—and I couldn’t help but love the contrast. One, vibrant and eye-catching, gently gliding through the air… The other, quietly resting on the earth, soaking up the warmth of the day. Same day. Same walk. Two completely different personalities. It’s a lovely reminder that nature has so much variety—sometimes bold and bright, sometimes calm and understated… and both equally beautiful
