Less than an hour away from the CBD is one of South Australia’s most loved destinations, Hahndorf in the Adelaide Hills.
Established by German immigrants in the 1830s, Hahndorf has kept much of its original European influence and today thrives as a tourist town that blends the old and new.
With easy proximity to Adelaide, weekend getaways are a no-brainer at Hahndorf. Visit a German pub, enjoy a gourmet lunch, or go on one of many walks among small wineries, orchards and farms that are synonymous with the Adelaide Hills.

About 2 hours north of the Adelaide CBD lies picturesque Clare Valley, the home of Australia’s finest Riesling.
And while we love sampling excellent wine, there’s more to see and do in Clare than just vineyards! It’s also a favourite for families when planning a weekend escape with the kids. Switch-back roads, nature walks, cycling paths and amazing food make it easy for families to return here every year.

Towering cliffs that are millions of years old, dramatic craters formed by asteroids, and deep ties to our cultural ancestry all await in the Flinders Ranges.
Any trip north from Adelaide to 'the Flinders' promises a deep, and often life-changing experience. The Flinders Ranges and Outback are of immense cultural significance to the Adnyamathanha people, who have lived in the Flinders Ranges for tens of thousands of years.
Learn about the land’s Indigenous history inside the Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park, visit Wilpena Pound, or simply sit back and enjoy its stunning landscape of mountain ranges and gorges, and its variety of native wildlife.
