Welcome to The Plateau Adventures — your gateway to an unforgettable off-grid escape on a stunning 100-acre property in the heart of Rockleigh. This is where the rugged beauty of rural South Australia meets the calm of total seclusion. Set atop the highest point in the region, The Plateau Adventures offers sweeping views of the Adelaide Hills and a peaceful, unspoiled natural environment. Whether you’re seeking stillness, solitude, or a back-to-basics outdoor experience, this is the place to switch off, slow down, and reconnect. This is a DIY camping experience, perfectly suited to self-contained travellers with RVs, caravans, camper trailers, SUVs, or 4WDs. There are currently no shelters, facilities, or amenities on-site, so it’s essential to come fully prepared with everything you need for your stay — from water and power to shade and comfort. What we do offer is space, nature and lots of it. Wake up to the sounds of native birds, breathe in crisp country air, and explore our working landscape filled with diverse flora and fauna. You can wander sheep trails, discover pockets of bushland, great for mountain biking too, or simply find your favourite spot to relax and take in the view. For those curious about farm life, we offer optional guided walks where you can meet some of our friendly animals and learn more about life on the land. Come ready to immerse yourself in the raw beauty of The Plateau, where the adventure is yours to create.

26km from Inman Valley · 2 sites · RVs
Six Strings is a family owned six-acre vineyard in the heart of the McLaren Vale wine region on the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula - one of the region's most loved holiday destinations for both locals and travellers. We're a short drive from the stunning beaches of Port Willunga, Silver Sands and Sellicks, plus the many celebrated McLaren Vale wineries. A short walk will take you into the historic Aldinga main street, where you'll find the pub, a boutique brewery, cafés, restaurants and a few handy shops. If you're interested, you can book in a relaxed wine/barrel tasting experience with our Winemaker during your stay. It's $10 per person, redeemable on any purchase—just let us know when you book. Pets are welcome, but please keep them on a leash or contained. Our friendly Cavoodle has free run of the property and will almost definitely come looking for pats (and maybe snacks).

Kickback and relax far enough out of town that no one will bother you and also still be closer enough to duck to the shops for milk. We'd love people to come an enjoy our little farm 6km out the back of Middleton, SA. There are no facilities, power or access to water available but for anyone self contained you'll love it. We can offer you farm fresh EGGS pretty cheap though for breakfast. Check in from time from 1.00pm, but touch base if your'e early, we'll stretch for for you. Super close to some of the best beaches in the state. Middleton for surfing 🏄 Goolwa for fishing 🎣 Port Elliot for swimming 🏊‍♀️ Rates include you getting to hang out with the horse (Nick) who love a stray carrot or 10 and our beautiful sheep including Kevin (the white sheep of the family, you'll get the joke when you meet him) We do allow dogs on leads as long as they are ok with animals. Campfires permitting (depending on local fire restrictions). Scroll down for Map of location.
