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

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

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

Three weeks ago we shared a fascinating farm find – a historic piece of agricultural machinery that sparked plenty of interest, conversations and memories. Then something wonderful happened. Mary from the Peterborough Print Shop reached out with these words: "You brought back a memory Julie." She kindly shared this incredible vintage advertisement featuring Hugh V. McKay's Australian "Suntyne" Combined Drill and Cultivator. As we explored it further, we uncovered even more of

One of the things we hear most often from our guests is...

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

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

One of the joys of being on holiday is having the time to slow down, wander, explore and discover things you might normally rush past during a busy working week. Today we enjoyed the wonderful atmosphere in Rundle Mall, which is currently celebrating 50 years and buzzing with activity. From the colourful displays and markets to live music performances and Adelaide's famous 3 bronze pigs and Mall's Balls, there was plenty to see and enjoy. When you're working, shopping is ofte

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.
