SOUTH AUSTRALIA
ELEGANT HERITAGE ACCOMMODATION

"Its worth coming all the way to Adelaide just for the experience of staying in one of these out-of-this-world apartments and cottages. Each of the 11 separate properties in North Adelaide and Eastwood are fabulous." Frommers Australia Guide 2001

South Australia has always had a sense of difference about it. You can spot it everywhere you look - such as in the residents' appreciation for the finer things in life like the arts and fine wine. And you can see it in Adelaide's architectural heritage - the stately villas, bungalows and cottages that dot the city and its first suburb, North Adelaide. North Adelaide is part of the City of Adelaide and is surrounded on all sides by the historic City Parklands. The major city hospitals, the Olympic swimming pool, the Adelaide oval and Memorial Tennis Courts and two Golf Courses are all located in exclusive North Adelaide. Some of its finest properties serve as elegant heritage accommodation and include:

Buxton Manor

They are furnished with exquisite colonial antiques, marblised and timber fireplaces, heritage bathrooms with original deep baths, Scottish lace and chintz drapes.
