Lovers of antique furniture spend their afternoons strolling between vintage outlets while fashionistas shop to their hearts’ content. All the normal conveniences are on hand as well – the library is a popular haunt for those looking for a quiet and relaxed space to regroup.
Once the sun goes down trendy wine bars and intimate dining nooks become the focal point. During the warmer months, there are free community events to enjoy but the real bonus is being five minutes from the action in the city as Adelaide’s famous events and festivals erupt over summer.
