Breaks In Adelaide – Adelaide Hotels

Posted December 7, 2010 by BookingBuddy

Adelaide tends to be bypassed by visitors in favour of other Australian cities, but there’s ample reason to treat yourself to a break here. The South Australian capital sits in the midst of lush vegetation, and enjoys sunny days throughout the year. Enjoy day trips to the vineyards just outside the city limits, or spend a few hours soaking up the sun at the beaches.  The North Terrace houses the Art Gallery of South Australia, as well as a number of other museums and public sculptures. Need a break? Grab an outdoor table in a cafe and feast on Adelaide icons like frog cakes and pie floaters while watching the city.

Stay
Rockford Adelaide – Located in Adelaide’s vibrant West End, the Rockford Adelaide is great for those who want to discover the city’s cultural attractions. It’s not far from the famous Rundle Mall, so you won’t have far to go when your arms are loaded with shopping bags. Enjoy panoramic views while cooling off in the rooftop pool. The rooms have large windows that let in lots of sunlight, as well as comfortable beds and neutral tones that help you relax after a tiring day. Room rates start from about £85.

Eat

Jolley’s Boathouse Restaurant – Set in a wooden boathouse looking out onto the River Torrens, Jolley’s is the place to be for an elegant but casual meal. The dishes are influenced by Adelaide’s multicultural population, and feature fresh, seasonal ingredients. The current Christmas menu offers up caramelised pork belly with a tangy green mango salad, and San Daniele prosciutto served with grilled peaches and mascarpone.

See

 Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary – Come face to face with indigenous Australian animals in their native habitats at this wildlife sanctuary. Feral-proof fencing allows animals such as platypus, koalas and possums to thrive while keeping out feral cats and other animals. Enjoy the sanctuary at your own pace with a self-guided tour, or arrive later for a memorable nocturnal tour led by guides.
