Getting here
A hundred and fourteen kilometres, and six of them unsealed
114 kilometres from the Adelaide CBD. The final six are unsealed, and they are the reason nobody is at the other end of them.

Adelaide to Yankalilla
The straightforward part, down the Main South Road. Most guests stop here — Drakes for groceries, the Yankalilla Bakery for bread.
Yankalilla to Delamere
Through the hills. The Delamere Store is fifteen minutes out from the retreat and covers whatever you realised you forgot.
Rarkang Road
You will pass the sign for the Talisker Mine off to the right. Keep going. The last six kilometres are unsealed and take longer than the map thinks.
The gate
Then a private track down to the house. Check-in is from 3pm, and there is nobody else on the property.
Or you could not drive at all
By helicopter
Helivista fly between Adelaide Airport and the retreat, and will build a day around it — cellar doors, a remote picnic, or across to Kangaroo Island.
Driven
Off Piste 4WD Tours run transfers from Adelaide Airport, and they know the region better than a rideshare will.
Read this before you leave the city
- Fill the tank before Yankalilla.
- Buy your groceries on the way. Deep Creek is thirty-five minutes from a supermarket.
- Bring walking shoes if you intend to use the trails.
- Pets are prohibited — both properties are working sheep farms.
- The retreat may not suit children under ten. It sits on a steep hill above a beach.
