Road Trip in Australia - Glenelg and Barossa Valley

Driving is the best way to see Australia. Not only does road tripping allow you to see Australia vast natural splendors, but it also offers a very cost effective way to explore Australia’s most significant sights and attractions.

Adelaide is our starting point. We pick up the car from the airport and hit the road.

Glenelg
Had a one night stay at GlenelgAtlantic Motor Inn. The drive from Adelaide Airport to Atlantic Motor Inn is relatively short, a less than 15 min drive (7.8 km). Atlantic Motor Inn is a 3.5 star motor inn. From the exterior, it looks kind of old. However, the interior is very clean and well maintained.





Glenelg is a beautiful and peaceful town. Atlantic Motor Inn is situated at strategic location in Glenelg, just a five minutes walk to Holdfast Marina and The Beachhouse. Holdfast Marina is a great place to enjoy Glenelg's magnificent sunsets. It is also the departure point for the dolphin sailing tours. The sandy white beach is perfect for chilling, surf, snorkeling or scuba dive.


Just minutes away from Harbour Town, there are a massive range of shops on Jetty Road. The number of cafes and shopping are unlimited. There are food and dining, banking and finance, healthcare, major supermarket such as Coles, florist etc. All that you need can be found in the town. We enjoy having breakfast and take a scroll at the beach. 


Barossa Valley

We took a drive to Barossa from Glenelg for a half day tour. The journey from Glenelg to Barossa is approximately 85km, About a 1 hour drive. In every town of Australia, you will be able to find a visitor center. You can get the map from the visitor center before setting off. That is the beauty of Australia. It is definitely a tourist friendly country to visit.


Barossa valley is renowned for food and wine. A long the way, you will see a lot of grapes plantation. It is such a beauty. There are tones of winery you can visit and have a taste of their wine. For a wine lover like us, this a a perfect place to hangout. We went into quite a number of winery and had the a few wine tasting. It is awesome. It is cheap also. Some of the winery has very unique wine name as well.
