GAY
ADELAIDE
Adelaide,
the city of churches and the gateway to the Barossa Valley, one of the best
wine producing areas in Australia, is a lively city with a stunning selection
of restaurants and cafes and nightlife, but has only a reasonably small formal
gay scene - but a variety of social groups and informal chances to socialise
gay-ly!
The only
and of course most popular gay venue in Adelaide is the Mars Bar.
This gay
club is designed with a series of raised platforms with seating and tables to
give great views of the stage and dance floor. The Mars Bar has a state of the
art lighting rig, sound system, with an elevated DJ box to create the ultimate
clubbing atmosphere. The bar offers you easy access, as it is situated away
from the dance floor and stage, making it a breeze to order your next drink!
The bar atmosphere is funky and intimate and creates a mood all of its own.
For a gay
friendly sleepover you could try the Rochdale Bed & Breakfast and you will be most welcome at the
Princes Lodge Motel. This motel is gay owned and operated and offers you the opportunity to
stay in a Grand Edwardian styled mansion in the gentile suburb of North
Adelaide only minutes from Adelaide’s city centre. Constructed in 1913 as
a private residence and later converted to a motel they offer you the comfort
of high ceilings, large windows and private facilities.
And speaking of wine… give gay owned and operated Thorn Park a go!
It has
three world class luxury options for the gay traveller:
Thorn
Park by the vines is approximately two and a half hours drive from the city of Adelaide
and is located at Seven Hill in the Clare Valley wine region. This property
offers boutique, small hotel accommodation, with highly regarded dining. and wining of course!
Thorn
Park on the island is located on Kangaroo Island, one of the state’s most popular and
spectacular tourist destinations. The property, a modern beach house, is
serviced and has excellent cooking facilities.
Thorn
Park in the city is a one bedroom luxury apartment located in the heart of Adelaide.
And if you
are tempted to do something out of the ordinary go camel riding, take a drive
in a unique vintage automobile, climb a mountain or visit a wildlife sanctuary.
These are
only a few of the options you can find on http://www.gaytraveller.com.au
