For sinking your feet into warm sand. For breathing a little deeper. For letting the noise fade away and remembering how good it feels to simply be. Holidays aren’t just about ticking off places — they’re about how you feel while you’re there. Calm. Rested. Present. Reconnected. At Adelaide Style Accommodation, we love creating spaces where you can truly switch off, feel safe, feel at home, and enjoy the simple pleasures… whether that’s a beach walk, a lazy morning coffee, or

Did you know that one of Adelaide’s most charming attractions has been cruising the River Torrens for almost 90 years? The beloved Popeye first set sail in 1935, built by Captain Gordon Watt right on the banks of the Torrens. Named after the famous cartoon character of the time, this 25-foot wooden boat began ferrying passengers between Elder Park and the Adelaide Zoo — and a South Australian icon was born. As crowds grew, so did the fleet. Between 1948 and 1951, four more wo

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

Last week we shared the joy of spotting a healthy swallowtail caterpillar in our garden… and now nature has taken another beautiful step forward.  The caterpillar is beginning to transform into its chrysalis (cocoon). If you look closely, you can still see the gentle outline of the caterpillar as it changes — a fascinating glimpse into the incredible cycle of life. Moments like these remind us just how special it is to create spaces where nature feels welcome and protected. F

Back in January, we shared a quiet, special moment — a delicate swallowtail butterfly gently laying her eggs on our citrus tree. Fast forward to now… and look what nature has been doing Those tiny eggs are thriving, and we’re delighted to see a healthy little caterpillar making itself at home on the citrus tree. It’s a beautiful reminder of how incredible and resilient nature is when we give it space to flourish. From butterflies and birds to bees and native plants, these sma
