The oldest settlement on mainland Southern Australia, originating as far back at the early 1800’s, is now a hugely popular holiday destination, right along the seaside.

Located just 10km from the big city lights of Adelaide, the laid back holiday resort town offers plenty of adventure and relaxation for the entire family.

Things to See and Do

An eclectic mix of old and new all rolled together in between good old small town hospitality will take you right back to your roots, where you buy your fresh produce from the original greengrocer, or the best cuts of meat from the local butcher, or just head on down to one of the busy neighborhood restaurants for some of the tastiest cuisine.

Swim with the Dolphins

To be able to have the opportunity to swim with dolphins in their natural environment has been likened to having a spiritual encounter, almost an out of body experience. An hour long tour allows visitors to get into the water with the animals; they are curious and playful and will interact with swimmers. Even for those visitors who wish not to get into the water, the visual encounter is extremely moving.

Out and About

For those visitors wanting an action packed holiday, you have picked the perfect holiday destination. Excellent golf courses are in abundance in and around the Glenelg area, as well of plenty of sailing opportunities, where it’s possible to charter a yacht or join a tour around the bay. Diving and snorkeling are hugely popular among both the locals and the visitors, a number of the diving shops give tours and hire out all the diving gear, so you don’t have to haul it with you to your holiday rental and back again after the holiday. Tennis, bowls, cycling, hiking, jet skiing and fishing charters are just some of the outdoor activities everyone will be able to join in on.

You might want to rise early and have a good breakfast in your holiday apartment or villa before heading out on public transport into Adelaide to check out the city centre and the shops if you feel the need for a hit of the big city.

For those visitors who just came for the sun, sea, sand and some light shopping, you will most definitely not be disappointed.
