The Adelaide Hills

The Adelaide Hills Region of South Australia is a special part of the world and offers an enviable lifestyle to those who choose to live here. Most people discover it by chance and then either keep returning as a visitor or make it their home. The region offers a mixture of residential living, agricultural pursuits, a range of business and artistic endeavours while being within easy commuting distance to Adelaide, the capital of South Australia. From the local wineries and country hotels to the range of wonderful eateries, it is one of those rare places where people can relax and enjoy the area in which they live.
