Glenelg is a quaint little seaside suburb in South Australia. Nestled in Holdfast Bay, it is only a twenty five minute tram ride from Adelaide. The vintage tram has been carrying passengers to and from Glenelg since the 1920’s.This is the ideal destination for a family to get away to and spend a quiet weekend together. In Glenelg, hotel apartments are easy to come by and convenient for families and groups. There is no better way to appreciate your surroundings than watching the scenery go by as you sip a glass of champagne on board a catamaran. Be tempted by ‘Temptation’, a fifty eight by thirty two foot high-performance sailing catamaran, which conducts short cruises and is available for private hires.
A leisurely stroll along the beach will take you to Oaks Plaza Pier Glenelg, which offers accommodation from spacious studios to three bedroom apartments. Glenelg is dotted with charming little boutiques, sidewalk cafes and even an ‘old school’ amusement park. Kids and adults can come by The Beachouse to play bumper boats, ride the dodgem cars, and get in on some pinball and air hockey action.
Glenelg also boasts a world class golf course; the Glenelg Golf Club is a private golf club, only minutes away from the beach that also offers bar and bistro facilities. Tennis is another popular sport around these parts and a tennis club should not be too hard to find, if you fancy playing a few sets. Get a real feel for the little suburb’s scenery and history by hitting a cycling or walking trail. The Bay Discovery Centre is not to be missed either. Wind down for the day by taking in a stunning sunset at Glenelg Pier, then exploring the local bars. A few pubs and clubs are also options to grab a late night drink.
