South Australia

L U X U R Y E X P E R I E N C E S Indulge in the best of South Australia If you’re looking for indulgence, South Australia has plenty of experiences to offer, ranging from beautiful secluded coastal lodges to outback station stays, with mouth-watering food, wine and unique experiences in between. AC C OMMO DAT I O N Six-star hotels, bathtubs with million-dollar views, secluded luxury escapes with chef-prepared meals are all part and parcel when you stay in South Australia. Choose from opulently appointed hotel rooms in the city at the likes of Eos by Sky City, Sofitel, Mayfair Hotel or Oval Hotel. Outside of the city, a personal touch with stunning views is the key, and you won’t want to miss Sequoia at Mount Lofty House in the Adelaide Hills; or The Louise, Stay Cambourne, or Hutton Vale Farm in the Barossa. In the outback, sleep in style at Rawnsley Eco Villas, Arkaba Homestead and Kangaluna Camp in the Gawler Ranges. On the Fleurieu, the stunning Naiko Retreat is a must, as is Hotel California Road and Cadole Avalon. On Kangaroo Island, Sea Dragon Lodge, Hamilton & Dune or One Kangaroo Island. On the Murray River, gently float along in a luxury Unforgettable Houseboat or stay at The Frames with views over the water. T O U R I N G Small group touring is what South Australia does best. Local guides are just that – local – and have intimate knowledge of the regions, characters and experiences on offer. Joining a tour operator gives you the insider knowledge and access that might otherwise be difficult or impossible to obtain on your own. Their licencing arrangements means they often have special access to tracts of land, and a responsibility to sustainable tourism methods. Regional specialists include Australian Coastal Safaris and Untamed Escapes on the Eyre Peninsula; Coast & Co on the Fleurieu Peninsula; Exceptional Kangaroo Island and Kangaroo Island Odysseys on Kangaroo Island; Rawnsley Park and Chinta Air in the Flinders Ranges; and Barossa Taste Sensations, Small Batch Wine Tours and A Taste of South Australia when combining wine regions.
