Yesterday afternoon was spent at the magnificent Her Majesty’s Theatre, enjoying a matinee performance of The Great Gatsby: A Jazz Ballet Odyssey on the final day of its Adelaide season — and it certainly didn’t disappoint. With a full theatre, fabulous costumes, wonderful jazz, brilliant ballet and tap dancing, and ever-changing scenes, it was a colourful and engaging performance from beginning to end. A huge thank you and congratulations to the incredibly talented cast and

Father’s Day can mean something different to each of us. For some, it’s a day spent together – sharing a meal, enjoying a laugh, making a phone call or simply finding a little more time for one another. For others, it’s a day to reflect on treasured memories and remember someone very special. Today we celebrate and appreciate the dads, grandfathers, uncles, father figures, mentors and special people who have helped guide, support and shape our lives. At Adelaide Style Accommo

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

How often do we take a photograph without giving much thought to what it might capture for future generations? A building. A streetscape. The way people dressed. A moment in time. Recently, a book caught our eye — Captain Sweet’s Adelaide by Philip Pike and Julian Moore — and it reminded us just how powerful photography can be in telling the story of a city. Captain Samuel White Sweet, born in England in 1825, spent much of his early adult life in the Royal Navy before eventu

What a beautiful sight across South Australia at the moment. This photo, taken here in Gawler, captures one of our local rivers flowing strongly after the welcome winter rain we've been experiencing. Gawler is shaped by its waterways — the North Para River and South Para River meet here to form the Gawler River — and at the moment they're certainly putting on a show. Across South Australia, this welcome rain is bringing fresh life to our landscapes. In a state known for its n

Winter in South Australia… Blue skies, crisp fresh air, and lush green countryside – it’s hard to beat a sunny winter’s day. Whether you’re exploring our beautiful regions, discovering local distilleries and wineries, or simply taking the scenic route, winter is the perfect time to slow down and soak it all in. After a day of exploring, come home to the comfort of one of our award-winning 4.5-star homes and experience South Australia like a local. Where has today’s blue sky t

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

The 2026 SALA Festival Program is now available. This August, South Australia transforms into one giant art gallery, with exhibitions, open studios, artist talks and creative experiences popping up in cities, towns and regional communities right across the state. Many events are free, so now is the perfect time to start planning your art adventure.

It’s wonderful to receive an update from our Trees For Life (SA) landholder and see some of our 600 native seedlings second planting now safely planted in the ground with their tree guards in place. Tree guards play a vital role in giving young Australian native plants the best possible start. They help protect seedlings from browsing animals, reduce wind damage, create a sheltered microclimate and improve their chances of survival during those important early years. Every tr

Last month, Adelaide Style Accommodation was proud to attend the South Australian Tourism Conference, where one of the highlights was the Tourism Town Awards networking evening—a celebration recognising the outstanding towns, tourism operators and people who help make South Australia such a remarkable place to visit. 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. Just 40 minutes from Adelaide, our Country Style Louisa Home in #Gawler is the perfect gateway to the countryside.

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

What a fabulous evening at the @frenchaustralianchamber FACCI Gala! As a proud FACCI member, it was wonderful to connect with so many people from across the business community, enjoy some fantastic conversations, meet passionate South Australian wine producers and support the event with a silent auction prize from Adelaide Style Accommodation. A huge thank you to Florence Masters and her team for creating such a memorable evening. We were also treated to a beautiful performa

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
