Did you know the relationship between North Adelaide Heritage Group and Pink, Paul Simon, Andre Rieu, Rihanna, Jesus Christ Superstar, Neil Young, Deep Purple, Byran Adams, Ivo Bligh in 2013... to mention a few....!
Answer -
We are the closest accommodation to the "Adelaide Entertainment Centre", "The Gov", and the "Adelaide Oval - Adelaide Cricket Grounds"
That's why North Adelaide is the place to be, with its proliferation of fabulous places to eat & drink, coupled with the most interesting architecture & history of all Adelaide.
A 10 minute walk, or a $10 taxi ride is just how close we are.
This South Australia accommodation is proudly South Australian owned & operated
Some wonderful comments in one of our Visitor Books from recent guests!

“Soaked up the atmosphere of yesteryear & admire those in the Heritage Group who have contributed toward preserving that wonderful era for us to enjoy. I will be back, again & again & again. Goodbye to modern accommodation. Love it.”
