Accommodation:
The main nearby hotel accommodation is the top end: Mt Lofty House http://www.mtloftyhouse.com.au/
– it’s a very grand, spoil yourself experience 10 minutes away,
or a mix of bed and breakfasts and Air bnb’s.
Choose any BnBs situated in Norton Summit, Ashton, Montecute, Uraidla, Summertown, Basket Range, Forest Range, Stirling, Crafers, Balhannah are all within 10-20 minutes scenic driving.
There is a Youth Hostel – Mt Lofty Cottage YHA is on Summit Rd Crafers.
We are only 12 minutes from Adelaide inner city suburbs such as Kensington, Norwood, Magill, Rostrevor, where there should be more BnBs
or All central city hotels (especially the ones on the eastern side of the city)
We are about 20-25 minutes from the C.B.D but there are no buses direct to our door. The most efficient is to hire a car or minibus for touring around.
or University Residential Colleges
Another idea is to try university student accommodation that may be vacant during December and January. They have heritage buildings in lovely grounds, but more functional bedrooms designed for single students. They are centrally located near inner city parklands, and a walking distance to the city, the cricket grounds, museums as well as the universities.
