Our Local Area.

The Yorke Peninsula is known for its breathtaking landscapes and unique country. Below are just some of the amazing lesser-known things you can organise to do in and around our local area.

Innes National Park

Innes National Park

Innes is one of South Australia’s best National Parks (in our opinion anyway) . Vis­it one of the light­hous­es and the ship­wreck of the Ethel to learn about the tumul­tuous mar­itime his­to­ry of South Aus­tralia. Explore the his­toric abandoned township of Inneston sur­round­ed by native bush­land. Plus you can enjoy bushwalking, surfing (some great breaks), fishing and more.

Stansbury Seaside Markets

The Stansbury Seaside Markets are held on various Saturday mornings along the foreshore of Stansbury between October and April each year. Market stalls include everything from locally made food, gifts, artwork, home decor, plants, jewellery and so much more.
