South Australia is full of amazing destinations and Adelaide city is no exception. It really is an ideal location if you’re looking for a romantic winter getaway with plenty of wet weather timetable activities on offer from wine tasting to strolling along the beach or through the city’s gardens.
Adelaide city has a pumping restaurant and bar culture and some pretty epic art galleries, but if you’re wanting to venture out of the CBD this winter, we’ve put together a few romantic getaways that are perfect for the colder climate.
Visit the Fleurieu Peninsula
Described as the ‘creative’ hub of South Australia, the Fleurieu Peninsula is less than 1.5 hours’ drive from Adelaide city. There’s plenty of opportunity to immerse yourself in the Fleurieu culture from meet and greets with the native wildlife at the national parks, to eating and drinking the mouth-watering local produce. It’s ideal for a romantic getaway, or if you’re just looking to get away from Adelaide city for a short break!
Port Elliot
Small and coastal, this town is less than 1.5 hours from Adelaide city. It’s quiet and so ideal for a romantic short break with your better half. Spot koalas at the wildlife park, trek along the coast or visit the local museum. Whatever you decide, you’re guaranteed to feel rested after some quiet time.
Mt Gambier
Not necessarily a stones throw away, but worth the jump! Mt Gambier is just over 4.5 hours’ drive from Adelaide city and has many attractions, excellent shopping, entertainment and rare natural formations worthy of exploration.
The famous ‘Blue Lake’ is nestled in a volcanic crater and is known for its dramatic colour changes throughout the year.
