Explore the vast countryside with quality Adelaide Hills accommodation

One of the most scenic regions in all of South Australia is Adelaide Hills, as its peaks and valleys covered in vibrant greenery blanket the entire area with quaint towns and vineyards in between. Adelaide Hills is one of the most famous wine-producing regions in the world. With the area’s scenic views and delicious wines, it’s no surprise that most holiday rentals in the area tend to be closer to the luxurious end of the spectrum. Despite the area’s reputation for wine, travellers of all ages can find satisfying attractions here no matter what time of year it is.

Where to book luxury accommodation in Adelaide Hills

Adelaide Hills is a vast region just east of the major metropolis of Adelaide, but it offers a much different experience than the city. While Adelaide is packed full of high-energy attractions and crowds of people, Adelaide Hills is notably more relaxed and laid back. You’ll be able to enjoy that kind of atmosphere no matter where you book your stay, but you still must consider whether you want to stay in a town or in the countryside. Various convenient towns dot the region, while the countryside can connect you to the natural landscape in a more intimate way. Fortunately, finding luxury accommodation in Adelaide Hills is easy no matter where you stay.

Booking Adelaide Hills accommodation in the countryside

The lush countryside of Adelaide Hills is one of the most iconic natural features in all of South Australia. Green flora seemingly covers the entire area, only breaking to make room for sprawling vineyards crafting world-famous wine. When you book your stay at a rental in the country, you’ll find a lot more land to go along with it. These rentals can be fairly isolated, which is nice for travellers who enjoy their privacy. Some of the local rentals even come with a bottle of complimentary wine from a nearby vineyard.

Finding Adelaide Hills accommodation in a town

Several towns are scattered about the Adelaide Hills region, and they all have something special to offer. Adelaide Hills accommodation in town won’t be as isolated as its counterparts in the countryside, but you’ll find holiday rentals more conveniently located close to shops and restaurants. They also tend to be smaller, but you can still find family-size accommodation with 2- and 3-bedroom layouts. One example of a local town is Stirling, which is known for its trees that turn a flaming-orange colour in autumn. You could also book your stay in Birdwood, an older town with numerous historical landmarks.
