Wine, wildlife, and wonders... just a hop beyond Melbourne!
If you've only ever ventured to Australia’s eastern cities, you’re in for a treat. South Australia is full of hidden gems and unforgettable adventures. Did you know a direct flight from Auckland to Adelaide is just 50 minutes longer than to Melbourne? Trust us, those extra minutes in the air are well worth it!
Adelaide, often called the ‘20-minute city’, is the perfect base to explore everything South Australia has to offer. Picture yourself strolling Adelaide's leafy streets, exploring cultural treasures like the State Library and Art Gallery on North Terrace, or indulging in a taste sensation at one of over 700 eateries lining buzzing spots like Gouger Street, Rundle Street, and Hutt Street.
For shoppers and café lovers, Rundle Mall is the heartbeat of Adelaide’s vibrant shopping scene, while Adelaide Central Market, one of Australia's largest fresh markets, is a haven for food lovers and artisan enthusiasts alike.
Fancy some sun, sea, and sand? Jetty Road and the sparkling beaches of Glenelg await—perfect for family fun, a romantic sunset stroll, or café-hopping in style.
Of course, you can't miss the legendary Barossa Valley, just under an hour’s drive from Adelaide’s CBD, renowned for award-winning wineries and sumptuous foodie delights.
Journey onwards into the lush Adelaide Hills, where charming Hahndorf village beckons with traditional German bakeries, boutique stores, and old-world charm?
Feeling adventurous? Cruise down the mighty Murray River on a historic paddlewheeler, or captain your own luxury houseboat with mates. Spot local wildlife, watch the landscapes drift by, and create unforgettable memories on the water.
Whether you've got a week or more, South Australia's blend of scenic beauty, culinary gems, cultural treasures, and genuine hospitality promises your Best. Holiday. Ever!

"W tend to ask for Sindy when we sort out our travel arrangements because her knowledge of flight options in particular is very good"
Wendy"Brydie is there for you, always has a smile and exceptional at organising your travel. Can even point out what you’ve forgotten to think of! Comes highly recommended."
Angela"We had a good and positive experience with Fiona. She understood exactly what we were looking for in our trip, made a few suggestions and provided us with quotes the next day. Once we had chosen, the travel was booked and confirmed within a day. Great service, thanks :-)"

What I love most about my job is helping others make their travel dreams a reality! It may sound cheesy, but it really is true!
I started out back in 2002 & have enjoyed travels through South East Asia, the Pacific, Australia, USA, the UK & Europe!
After having my son just before our first Covid lockdown in 2020, I took a bit of a hiatus but came back to House of Travel in a support roll for the lovely Petra in April 2024.
Once a travel agent, always a travel agent!
Petra and I work together to weave these dreams for our lovely customers, and I look forward to helping you with yours too!
