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. From the moment you arrived, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and buzzing with conversation, connection, and support for local South Australian businesses. 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

As it’s National Volunteer Week, Adelaide Style Accommodation would like to recognise Mary and the wonderful volunteer team at the Peterborough Historical Printshop, around 250km north of Adelaide. Mary has lived in Peterborough for around 23 years, moving from Goolwa with her late husband Eldon, whose family connections to Peterborough stretched back to the 1870s. The town held a special place in his heart after spending much of his childhood there with his great grandparent

History Friday Hidden behind the doors of one of Henley Beach South’s stunning historic homes is a fascinating story of Adelaide’s early drapery, hat and boot merchants, elegant seaside summers and architectural craftsmanship from another era. Recently featured as part of South Australia's History Festival during the month of May, this beautiful Seaview Road residence was opened through the wonderful work of the Henley & Grange Historical Society. Guests were taken through th

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

Recently, we captured this beautiful Southern Rock Skink perched quietly on a sun-warmed rock — soaking up the morning light, watchful, still, and completely at home in its rugged surroundings. What we love about these little locals is not just their striking colour (a true photographer’s delight ), but how cleverly they live: They bask in the sun to warm their bodies Always staying close to a crevice for a quick escape Often living in small family groups, returning to the

Rain, autumn leaves, and a beautiful sense of community… today we had the pleasure of visiting the Adelaide Hills Garden Affair at Stangate House and Garden in Aldgate - in the stunning Adelaide Hills Even with passing showers throughout the day, it was wonderfully supported—such a true reflection of the strength and warmth of the Adelaide Hills community. The gardens were alive with colour, leaves turning in all shades of autumn, and the event offered something for everyone:

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
