Walking along Tunkalilla Beach
If you’re just after a cheap place to rest your
head and don’t mind bunking, there are
plenty of decent hostels to choose from that
will cost next to nothing for the night.
Running a tidy ship, South Australia’s hostels
are friendly and welcoming, with a handful found
in the heart of the CBD action, close to public
transport and in stumbling distance of a local pub.
Outside of the city, you can head to the coastal
epicentre that is Glenelg and regional centres,
including Penneshaw, Tanunda and Berri.
The vibe is largely modern and funky, with
bright colours having been heavily used in the
decorating colour scheme. Some hostels have
even found themselves right at home in historic
buildings (some residing in old 19th century
pubs), all adding to the charm.
There’s mostly a choice between comfortable
air-conditioned single, twin and dorm rooms
and some places even have female-only
wings. The basics of linen, a hot shower, TV,
laundry facilities and communal kitchens can all
generally be expected.
