South Australia is a place where authenticity greets you; where the Aussie bushland meets the vines and the vines meet the sea; and where people come together to reconnect and discover new experiences.
Venture from ocean delights to Outback splendour
South Australia is a microcosm of Australia with Adelaide holding the title of Australia’s vineyard capital and Australia’s only national park city. Adelaide is a haven of culture, flavours, events, and entertainment. Taste your way through world-famous wine regions only minutes away from the city or soak up the sun at one of many picture-perfect beaches.

A wildlife safari on Kangaroo Island
Offshore animal adventures

Add in spectacular natural landscapes, pristine beaches, delicious local produce, and friendly local islanders and you’ll understand why it's such a hard place to leave.
Explore the Australian Outback
Red horizons and glittering stars
Unlike any other place in the world, the Flinders Ranges and Outback is a must visit for travellers to Australia. After an easy 5-hour drive from Adelaide, explore rugged wilderness, jaw-dropping natural wonders, and abundant wildlife. Immerse yourself in the local indigenous culture and learn about spiritual importance of this majestic region. Take to the skies for a scenic flight to truly appreciate the scale of this landscape or embark on a 4WD adventure taking in ancient gorges, a natural amphitheatre and plenty of wildlife. You can expect to soak in stunning sunsets and fall asleep under a blanket of stars.
Visit the Eyre Peninsula
Adventures in aquatic paradise
A short 45-minute flight from Adelaide, the Eyre Peninsula is perfect for seafood lovers and adventure seekers alike. Rugged coastlines, outback vistas, untouched national parks, and crystal-clear waters combine to offer breathtaking scenery and bucket-list aquatic experiences. Dive into the ocean to swim with playful wild sea lions and dolphins, spot majestic whales during migration season, or shark-cage dive with Great White Sharks. Famous for its incredible seafood—savour freshly shucked oysters in Coffin Bay and indulge in locally caught abalone and crayfish whilst soaking up sunny skies.
Sip world class wine in the Barossa
Vino in the vineyard valleys
When it comes to food and wine, South Australia truly is the land of legends. Named a Great Wine Capital of the World, South Australia is home to an all-star cast of world-famous chefs, winemakers, and producers. Visit the Barossa Valley, famous for its bold Shiraz wine, just a 50-minute drive from Adelaide, to sip a local drop that's as old as you or soar over some of the oldest vines in the world. Wander into over 80 cellar doors, tasting some of the most awarded wines in the world and digging into sumptuous local produce set in the stunning vineyard vistas.
Restaurant Botanic – Adelaide
Native herbs in a verdant paradise
Named Gourmet Traveller’s Australian Restaurant of the Year for 2022, Restaurant Botanic is the crowning jewel in Adelaide’s glittering foodie scene. Nestled amongst the greenery of Adelaide Botanic Gardens, this fine-dining destination is a reflection of its environment. Chef Justin James serves up the senses of the garden and tells the stories of unique native ingredients like marron, green ants, and finger limes.
Star of Greece - Port Willunga
Mediterranean vibes, Australian coastal views
Located less than an hour’s drive from Adelaide, Star of Greece sits pretty atop the limestone cliffs of Port Willunga, boasting spectacular views of the azure waters and white sandy beach below. While the vibes are Mediterranean, the cuisine here is modern Australian with Asian and European influences.
The Prairie Hotel – Flinders Ranges
A walk on the wild side
Located five hours north of Adelaide in the remote town of Parachilna (which boasts a population of five), this outback pub has a few culinary surprises up its sleeve – and a top 100 gourmet experiences title to boot! Artfully marrying the fine and the feral, the Prairie Hotel serves up a bizarre bush menu – think 'roo' pastrami, wild boar ragu, and emu sausage.
Coffin Bay Oyster Farm Tours – Eyre Peninsula
Luxurious ocean-to-plate tasting
Known as Australia’s Seafood Frontier, it’s no surprise that the Eyre Peninsula’s remote, pure waters produce multi-award-winning, globally revered oysters. But what sets Oyster Farm Tours apart are their immersive, ocean-to-plate tasting tours. Wade through glassy waters, pluck your lunch straight from its source, and wash it down with a glass of South Australian wine.
Fino Seppeltsfield – Barossa
Sustainable, seasonal, sensational
At Fino Seppeltsfield in the Barossa, the menu showcases regionality and seasonality whilst supporting small-scale, sustainable producers. With 95% of the restaurant’s produce sourced locally, this deep connection to provenance and the Barossa region is evident on every plate.
Rawnsley Park Station – Flinders Ranges
Outback escapes on a working sheep station
Stay on an operating sheep station in the iconic Australian Outback and experience the natural beauty and wildlife of this ancient landscape. Enjoy majestic views of Wilpena Pound, an 800-million -year-old natural amphitheatre, from the private verandah of your eco-villa.
Southern Ocean Lodge – Kangaroo Island
Coastal seclusion with a touch of luxury
Southern Ocean Lodge on Kangaroo Island offers an unparalleled sense of solitude, where tranquillity and privacy reign supreme. You’ll feel as if you have the entire coastline to yourself (and you just might). Striking architecture seamlessly blends with the untamed beauty of the landscape, while all-inclusive gourmet dining, fine wines, and curated experiences add a touch of indulgence. Signature experiences include a trip to nearby Seal Bay to see its sea lion colony, a guided coastal walk, or a koalas & kangas sunset session.
Sequoia Lodge – Adelaide Hills
Luxury hideaway amid the Adelaide Hills
Sequoia is an intimate adult-only, luxury lodge, nestled in the glorious Adelaide Hills, just a 20-minute drive from the heart of Adelaide. Embraced by nature and sitting atop of Adelaide’s Mount Lofty, affectionately known as Koala Mountain, Sequoia Lodge’s 30-acre nature setting blends into the Adelaide Hills Botanic Gardens on one side of the peak and thousands of acres of national park on the other.
Kingsford the Barossa – Barossa Valley
