As a toddler mum, I have an immense appreciation for all things child-friendly and FREE! And Adelaide is certainly blessed with plenty of things to do with kids that are absolutely free.

Thanks to South Australia's Great State Voucher, we got to enjoy a staycation at the Oval Hotel for $199 for the night with $50 credit to their restaurant. What I loved about this hotel was the ambiance automatically made you feel like you were in a posh hotel. I also enjoyed the free access to Next Gen Health Club. What I didn't like was that you had to walk that distance to enjoy the amenities at Next Gen (as the hotel itself didn't have any of those amenities such as a swimming pool or a gym). Perhaps not a big issue in good weather but it was a rainy winter day when we were there. Overall we still really enjoyed our stay. Make sure to watch the vlog for a tour and more details.

I have called South Australia home for 5 years now and I finally made it to the Riverland for the first time. I don't know why I haven't visited before. This is certainly a destination my husband and I would consider visiting more frequently from here on out. We booked 2 nights at Big4 Renmark Riverfront Holiday Park. Spoiler alert: this was honestly the first time that my husband and I were truly impressed by an accommodation in South Australia. Yes, top CBD hotels included. Read on to find out why.

Back in July, we booked an overnight stay at Intercontinental Adelaide. It was hubby's birthday week, he was in dire need of a little holiday, pandemic restrictions were eased, I had about enough of being cooped up... and the hotel had a huge promo going on. So we thought, why not? I didn't know it then, but apparently we were literally their first customers on their first day opening post pandemic. No wonder why they had a huge discount going on!
