May 1, 2023 Trinity Boughner

Whether you're a culture vulture or nature lover, South Australia offers great adventures. Get a taste of the Outback with a hike through the Flinders Ranges, sample the amazing wines of Barossa or come face to face with koalas and sea lions on Kangaroo Island. The capital city of Adelaide showcases Aboriginal antiquities at the South Australian Museum and bustles day and night with events. Rent a car to cover the most ground, as the province is four times the size of the United Kingdom.

Must visit park

The caretakers were incredibly helpful showing us around, telling us about the town and what it had to offer different things to see We had a huge double concrete slab, which backed onto the dunes, small dividing native trees between sites, would have to be close to one of the better parks we've visited

We felt welcome even before we arrived! Elaine’s thoughtful preparations and attention to details ensured we had a very comfortable stay. A cosy relaxing space to unwind in and a great location from which to explore the Barossa. Enjoying a mother and daughters weekend, the Loft had everything we needed for relaxing in and chilling out. From bathrobes and candles to wine, cheese and stocks of firewood we enjoyed a very special retreat. We will be back!

Sunrise On Falie Court

Beautiful and clean

Reviewed By Emily112658

Such a beautiful spot to stay and incredible hosts. The place was spotless and much more independent than we imagined, we had a beautiful balcony that was not shared as each has their own. Has everything you need including a coffee machine, cooking basics, etc. we loved the view from the bedroom and lounge room overlooking the bay and beautiful trees. Very quiet and serene but not too isolated which is always a bonus. We ended up extending our stay as we loved it so much. Thank you both for hosting us. Try to get to KI tru (thai food) on a Thursday night, definitely worth a visit, thanks for the recommendation.

Great place and good value

Reviewed By Essbeebee

We were very fortunate that this place was available for the busy Australia Day weekend. The cabins are surprisingly large and well spaced apart. Although starting to show their age, they are well appointed, scrupulously clean and well maintained. The spotless paths around the cottage, great undercover parking for 2 cars (plus plenty of other space for boat etc.) are excellent. Nice bushland setting with pleasant views, but a fair way from the river itself. Probably better suited to families, but also quite reasonable for a couple like us. Quite well situated with easy access to both Renmark & Berri. Having to empty bins and clean up might help save costs, but is probably a bit "yesterday". Nonetheless, pretty good and we'd go back.

Stayed here for 3 nights to travel around the top half of the Yorke Peninsula! Wallaroo is a great little town, very friendly people and Mac’s did not disappoint! We had a waterfront spa cabin. The attention to detail was terrific! Beautifully appointed cabins, well decorated and such a great spot! The gardens are beautiful and it was great to sit on the deck and watch the sunset! Lovely hosts - just a lovely few days!
