Depends if you're taking the kiddies along or not...
If it's just the two of you there's a gorgeous little historical B&B called Elderberry cottage just outside of Hahndorf in the Adelaide Hills.
The Barossa is also nice, although it's about an hours drive to the city, even if you don't stay there i would suggest a visit to the Barossa.
Glenelg is also a great place to stay, it's about 15-20 minutes from the cbd and plenty of things to do around there!
thanks girls
We arent sure if the kiddies will be there.
AT have no one that will commit to taking them for 2 nights for us :(
I love the Clare Valley, only about an hour and a half from the CBD and the wineries are closer together than in the BArossa.
Chaff mill village in Clare is really nice, you can get 2 room self contained units. They have a beautiful big spa too ;).
In Adelaide - HAigh's chocolate factory tour, on greenhill road. You need to book but is free. Isn't huge but still good and you get samples.
Hanhndorf - german village, nice drive, yummy food and you can go to melba's chocolate factory on the way and Beerenberg jam factory in HAhndorf. I think they have an baby animal farm? Not sure.
Adelaide zoo if you have the kids, but it depends where you are from. If you have a zoo at home you may not want to take the time.
Gumeracha in the adelaide hills - AHs the big rocking horse. Also a toy shop. Ncie drive. I am sure you can get from gumeracha to hahndorf in the one trip just not sure how. I suffer from geographical embarrassment.
Google some of these things. I hope you find what you are after
If you're bringing the kids you *must* go to Victor Harbour (make sure you stop in at Pt Elliot) and ride the horse tram out to Granite Island.
Other good kid's activities:
paddle boats &/or a ride on Popeye on the Torrens River (near Festival Theatre)
Train Museum in Pt Adelaide - has a miniature steam train to ride
Carousel and side shows at Semaphore Beach
Tram ride to Glenelg, walk the Jetty, have fish n chips, play on the beach
Row a boat on the lake in Rymill Park
Adelaide Zoo
There's a huge adventure playground out near Pt Adelaide as well but I can't remember exactly where...
I second the Hahndorf suggestions, too. Also if you're anything of a foodie you *must* go to Adelaide Central Markets - you can book a tour which takes you around for tastes, etc, too. :)
Grown up activities could be lunch/dinner at red ochre - overlooks the torrens. you could also do the paddle boats, looks like fun.
