Melrose

Melrose comes alive with the activity of mountain bike riders, walkers and nature enthusiasts who return each year to explore, relax and unwind.

Three hours north of Adelaide, Melrose provides the opportunity to slow down and reconnect with nature and take in the breathtaking views of Mount Remarkable.

Indulge is the key word – a sumptuous cocktail, sensational coffee or a sweet treat from the local Café or Brewery enjoyed with a view that is undeniably spectacular.

As the oldest town in the Flinders Ranges, Melrose is adored by tourists, treasured by locals and sought after by couples tying the knot.

Renmark

Sun-warmed river days. Wide skies. Orchards and vineyards stretching to the horizon. Renmark in South Australia, is where the Murray River slows you down—inviting you to wander riverside trails, drift past cliffs and river red gums and follow a waterway shaped by paddle steamers, river traders and houseboats.

Stay for vibrant events, colourful murals and riverside camping, then toast the moment with local produce and a tasting flight from our brewers, distillers and winemakers. Easy going, welcoming and wonderfully unhurried, Renmark is made for switching off and soaking it all in. See you in Renmark
