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

Sparkling water, crisp winter air and a South Australian sunset putting on a show before night falls. Winter in South Australia is full of reasons to visit — theatre, festivals, sporting events, cosy fires, wonderful food and wine experiences, beautiful walks and moments like this by the water. Whether you’re planning a city escape, attending an event, or simply wanting time to slow down and explore, all of our 4.5 homes make a wonderful base to experience South Australia in

This year we’ve lovingly grown over 600 Australian native seedlings for Trees For Life (SA) — now waiting patiently to be collected by landholders ready for planting. Every tiny tree in this slow little video represents future habitat, healthier soil, cleaner air, shade, shelter, and food for beautiful native wildlife. Take a quiet moment to slowly enjoy them all… and make sure you watch to the end to hear the natural bird sounds captured during filming — a fitting reminder o

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

One of the simple #joys of travelling is slowing down enough to notice the unexpected… colourful public art, birds in the trees, butterflies in the garden, local history and spaces designed for communities to enjoy. Recently while exploring Parkside in the City of Unley, Unley, we admired this vibrant artwork created by the Broughton Art Society — a wonderful South Australian non-profit organisation supporting creativity, inclusion and art since 1965. A huge well done and tha

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

Picture this — a favourite glass of South Australian wine, warmth from the fire, beautiful local produce on the table, and time to simply relax. Right now, South Australia is celebrating incredible food and wine experiences, with Tasting Australia bringing people together across Adelaide and regions of our state. And after recent rains, many parts of South Australia are looking wonderfully green — inviting visitors to explore a little longer. From cosy country escapes and cel

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

This Mother’s Day, we celebrate the mums, grandmothers and special women who create warmth, comfort and connection for those around them every day.

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. This beautiful mural, known as “The Love Birds”, was created by artists Charles and Janine Williams as part of the Wonderwalls street art movement that helped transform Port Adelaide into one of Australia’s most colourful street art destinations. 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:

📖 1 May — History Month begins in South Australia… There’s something about May in SA… it invites you to slow down and connect. The South Australia History Festival is here — and Gawler has so much to discover (see programme in image. One of the things we love about Gawler is that you don’t just learn its history… you feel it. From the days of James Martin’s Foundry — where the town helped move from horse power to steam — to the people and stories that shaped the future… it’s

Our 600 native seedlings are growing strong 🌱 We’ve been in touch with our landholder this week—always special knowing where they’ll soon call home 💚 This season has been a little different… we’re one box short for one species (a first for us!), likely due to seasonal conditions 🌦️ Thankfully, with support from Trees for Life SA, we’ve been able to source backup plants—such a great system supporting growers and landholders alike. Sometimes it’s the seed… sometimes the seas

ANZAC Day | 25 April 2026

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

This is your sign South Australia is calling - from the rolling green hills of the Flinders Ranges to the vineyards of the Barossa, the coastline, and the vibrant heart of Adelaide. Right now, after the rains, our landscapes are looking their absolute best Fresh, green, and full of life… it’s a beautiful time to explore
