GLENELG WHY GO?
Glenelg is a 20-minute tram ride from Adelaide’s CBD, which means clients can be sipping cocktails at beach bars and unwinding on one of the city’s most popular stretches of sand in no time.
WHAT TO DO Either head straight to the public sandy beach or bag a daybed or lounger at The Moseley Beach Club, which serves food and cocktails with live music and has DJs powering up in the early evenings. Head to
ADELAIDE HILLS
WHY GO? The area’s natural beauty, all rolling hills and verdant forests, comes with a hip community of winemakers and chefs. It’s known as one of the coolest parts of Adelaide and is roughly a 30 to 40-minute drive from the CBD.
WHAT TO DO Book a winery tour and tasting at one of Adelaide Hills’ plethora of vineyards and
cellar doors to sample the region’s cool-climate wines, then reserve a table at one of the many restaurants serving local produce. The region is known for growing strawberries and cherries and for producing pork, which is best sampled in Hahndorf, Australia’s oldest-surviving German settlement. Don’t miss Mount Lofty for views of the Adelaide skyline, as well as Mount Lofty Botanic Garden, home to lakes, native plants, sculptures and walking trails.
Jetty Road for more foodie options (there’s everything from a doughnut shop to spicy Chinese hotpot and bottomless brunches). Boat cruises also operate from Glenelg, with the opportunity to spot dolphins or enjoy the sunset from the water.
Adelaide Marriott Hotel opened last year in the CBD’s General Post Office building, which retains its original facade. Rooms feature contemporary design and there’s an indoor pool. Rooms from £157 per night, with breakfast.
