A Boutique South to North Australia Adventure

Adelaide blends culture, cuisine and contemporary style, offering a relaxed yet refined city escape in South Australia. Framed by expansive parklands and elegant sandstone buildings, its vibrant streets are home to artisan cafés, acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping and a thriving arts scene, creating an atmosphere that feels distinctly cosmopolitan. Just beyond the city limits, world-class wine regions, pristine beaches and the rolling Adelaide Hills are all within easy reach, making Adelaide the perfect gateway to South Australia's picturesque landscapes. Whether enjoying long lunches featuring exceptional local produce, touring acclaimed wineries in Barossa Valley or McLaren Vale or simply unwinding in your intimate boutique accommodation, the city offers a vibrant base from which to explore this remarkable corner of Australia.

The showpiece of your luxury Australia holiday from North to South is a three-night journey aboard The Ghan, a legendary luxury train travelling between Adelaide and Darwin through Australia's vast interior. Passing through the ochre-hued desertscapes of the Outback that stretch as far as the eye can see, The Ghan traverses approximately 3,000 kilometres through the heart of this extraordinary continent, making stops along its route for immersive off-train experiences that showcase everything from historic desert settlements to Indigenous heritage and from the striking landscapes of the Flinders Ranges to the Outback town of Alice Springs. Departing Adelaide, the train glides through the rolling vineyards of South Australia before entering the sun-scorched landscapes of the Red Centre, where dramatic mountain ranges, ancient gorges and endless desert plains unfold beyond The Ghan's panoramic windows. On board, elegant cabins, regionally inspired cuisine and attentive service create an atmosphere of effortless comfort, ensuring the journey is every bit as memorable as the destination.
