Stand up paddle boarding, cycling through wetlands, retail and wellness therapies, restaurants, cafes, breweries, and cellar doors will have your getaway dreams covered.

Now let Aldinga uncover YOU!

Goolwa

Eighty-nine kilometres from Adelaide, Goolwa is Australia’s first Cittaslow Town. Once a thriving river port, Goolwa offers a steam-to-steam experience with PS Oscar W, a 114 year old authentic paddle steamer, and the Cockle Train.

With great pubs, a microbrewery, restaurants and cafés, Goolwa is a popular gateway to the Coorong National Park and the mouth of the Murray River.

Explore the local waterways by taking a cruise on an old paddle steamer or an eco-cruise on the Coorong. In addition to the colourful river port history, the Ngarrindjeri culture of the region can be explored.

A story which has been told by millions of people across a millennia.

Langhorne Creek

Langhorne Creek, located 1 hour south-east of Adelaide, is in South Australia’s third largest wine region and while the town is small, it packs a big punch for the visitor.

Here you will discover world-class wines in architecturally designed cellar doors offering a range of dining and tasting experiences. Enjoy a glass of wine on a rooftop, jump out of a plane, or take a horse drawn carriage ride around the wineries.

Spend a day or stay for the weekend.

Discover Langhorne Creek.
