Keith Hotel Motel for normal Motel style accommodation. Keith Motel (another one) has just done a lot of renovations and friends stayed at the weekend and were most impressed. With a population of only 1400 there isn't much to do but we like it! Henry and Rose is on the Dukes Highway and does lovely food, nice setting too.

Or you can rent a room on the lake, just next door to the golf course. Very cute - send me a pm if you want the number. Don't think they've got their website going yet but it's called Duck Inn and very lovely. Not pricey really either.

Oh I was expecting The Royal and Ancient Keith Golf & Country Club or sumat

Thanks for the info, I'll PM you anon.

There really is a difference between us in SEQLD and Adelaide.

Where did she shop? I spend around $300 - $350 per fortnight on 4 of us. I do tend to buy the specials though, I'm cheap like that
Almost at the end of her 5 week stint in Adelaide, and her comments today were, everything is so cheap in Adelaide.... and eating out is so cheap compared to Brisbane

Not true!


























There's no way it's that exciting.

Default Re: Adelaide holiday attractions

I'm coming to Adelaide myself on the 11th of February.... well me and another 2,000 Victorians for the MVictory game. It's at Adelaide oval rather than Hindmarsh this time. Can anyone recommend a hotel within walking distance of most things for 4 adults. We would prefer to be close to the City... but on the cricket ground side if thats within walking distance. How much is the Taxi or Transport from the Airport... we've only ever driven over before ?

Should be interesting there were over 30,000 at the game, the last time Adelaide United played at the Adelaide Oval.

Crowne plaza is brand new, looks good and you can walk to everything. Taxi from airport to city only 5 mins so cheap.

Adelaide Oval is about 5 mins walk from North Terrace in the CBD, so maybe concentrate your search for accommodation to there or thereabouts?

You'll also then be close to the bars/casino in the CBD, or just down the road from North Adelaide where there's some really nice restaurants.

Many thanks to you. May have two nights in Adelaide with this trip. Crowne Plaza sounds good... as do the restaurants.

I drove last time around and did the trip there and back in 4 days... worked night shift on the 4th night .. was knackered for a week afterwards. So definitely flying this time.
