Nothing lights your fire like being in the great outdoors!
2022 is the year to embrace South Australia’s natural therapies. Whether it’s stargazing in the Flinders Ranges and Outback, getting down and dirty in our national parks, snuggling up in an off-grid beachside cottage or getting lost among ancient landscapes on the Limestone Coast, it’s time to dose up on SA goodness.
Here’s your daily medicine…
Get off-grid at EYRE.WAY
With the planet always top of mind, this sustainable and architecturally designed tiny abode on the Eyre Peninsula was carefully crafted to overlook Sleaford Bay and Lincoln National Park. If you’re lucky, you might even spot a whale or two! It’s perfectly romantic, with a king-sized bed for couples and equally kid- friendly with an additional double bed in the overhead mezzanine.

Get your snorkel on at Kilsby Sinkhole
The Limestone Coast is home to some extraordinary natural wonders and just ten minutes from Mount Gambier, the Kilsby Sinkhole is one of them. With breathtaking visibility, you can snorkel or scuba dive, and there’s no need to bring anything from home (other than bathers) as they provide all equipment, wetsuits and your own industry certified guide. It was one of the first sinkholes to be dived in the Mount Gambier region when recreational diving started 70 years ago and is an absolute must next time you’re in the region.

Beerenberg — more than strawberry picking!
Beerenberg has reached new heights with their brand new Farm Café, which is now open for breakfast, lunch or a spot of afternoon tea. They now offer the whole kit and kaboodle — you can pick their juicy strawberries, shop for your favourite products in their Farm Shop and then cosy up in the café to enjoy a delicious bite to eat! You’ll kick yourself if you don’t order one of their tasty gelatis — they’re made on- site and crafted from freshly picked strawberries.
Clare’s epicurean adventure
There’s more than meets the eye at Clare Valley’s Watervale Hotel. Not only do they serve up great accommodation, dining experiences, a hotel and wine room, but they also have a magnificent farm — and you can tour it! Penobscot Farm offers exclusive experiences where you’ll be encouraged to hear, see, smell, feel and taste your way through the farm as you learn about organic, biodynamic and permaculture farming, followed by a multi- course degustation dinner in the hotel.
