Station Road 

Adelaide’s Festival Plaza welcomed a chic new dining destination in the form of Station Road. In a prime location on the ground floor of Festival Tower by Walker, this central city spot has instantly elevated Adelaide’s booming restaurant offering, with a French-inspired, modern Australian menu.

Star of Greece

Though the name would have you believe otherwise, the Star of Greece is not a Greek restaurant, though it is Mediterranean-inspired! The Port Willunga favourite started as a humble little kiosk, but is now more commonly known as one of the best restaurants in McLaren Vale, thanks to its prime beachside location. You won’t be able to put your phone down as you capture the magical views of the ocean and cliffs from your table, while the fresh, coastal interiors provide the perfect aesthetic for the group shot.

There are so many Instagrammable offerings at the d’Arenberg Cube that we barely even know where to begin.

Instagrammable Spots Adelaide: Outdoors

Adelaide Botanic Garden

Located on the outskirts of the city and boasting a beautiful array of botanical plants, greenhouses, ponds, and quiet spots to sit with a book, Adelaide Botanic Garden never disappoints. It’s also full of gorgeous places for photos. From the glasshouse to the lake, the wisteria arch to the numerous beaten pathways draped in lush plants and trees, the gardens are an iconic spot for locals and tourists alike to get snap-happy.

North Terrace, Adelaide

Hahndorf

It’s hard to imagine a town more charming and photo-ready than our very own Hahndorf – it’s Little Germany, less than 30 minutes from Adelaide. Rich in history and tradition, your phone will get a workout as you capture the cosy German stores, lolly shops, the tree-lined streets (especially as the leaves change in autumn) and your German feast of crackly pork knuckle and salty pretzels. Prost!

Hahndorf, South Australia

Lake Bumbunga

If you’re looking for a pretty pink lake relatively close to the city to take your next winning snap, Lake Bumbunga is it. Just 1.5 hours from Adelaide, situated between the popular tourist regions of Clare Valley and the Yorke Peninsula, lies this otherworldly landscape. Like many of Australia’s pink lakes, Lake Bumbunga can be completely dry and shifts from pink to white to blue, depending on rainfall and other environmental factors. The best time to visit is the transition seasons of autumn and spring. Good luck!

Port Willunga Beach 

South Australia has many amazing beaches, so why not go for one of the best of the best? Originally carved by fishermen to store boats in, Port Willunga Beach’s caves are now waiting for you to set up a blanket and a picnic, shade from the sun and rest a while after a nice dip in the sea. From the crystal clear waters to the white sand, there are ample spots to get the perfect beach day shot.
