From rooftop bars with panoramic views to funky wineries with retro touches. We’re snapping up the best venues, restaurants, bars and more across Adelaide and South Australia for you to add to your hit list of perfect Instagrammable spots that are guaranteed to get you all the likes.

Star of Greece

Though the name would have you believe it to be true, the Star of Greece is not actually a Greek restaurant, though it is Mediterranean inspired. The Port Willunga favourite started out as a humble little kiosk but is now more commonly known as one of the best restaurants in McLaren Vale – particularly come summertime thanks to its prime beachside location. You won't be able to put your phone down as you capture the magical views of the ocean and cliffs from your table, while the fresh, coastal interiors provide the perfect aesthetic for the group shot.

Adelaide Botanic Garden

Located on the outskirts of the city and boasting a beautiful array of botanical plants, greenhouses, ponds, and quiet spots to sit with a book, Adelaide Botanic Garden never disappoints. It's also full of gorgeous places for photos. From the glasshouse to the lake, the wisteria arch to the numerous beaten pathways draped in lush plants and trees, the gardens are an iconic spot for locals and tourists alike to get snap happy.

Hahndorf

It's hard to imagine a town more charming and photo-ready than our very own Hahndorf - it's Little Germany less than 30 minutes from Adelaide.

Prost!

Lake Bumbunga

If you’re looking for a pretty pink lake relatively close to the city to take your next winning snap, Lake Bumbunga is it. Just 1.5 hours from Adelaide, situated between the popular tourist regions of Clare Valley and York Peninsula, lies this otherworldly landscape. Like many of the pink lakes in Australia, Lake Bumbunga can be completely dry and shifts from pink to white to blue, depending on rainfall and other environmental factors. The best time to visit is the transition seasons of autumn and spring. Good luck!

Port Willunga Beach 

South Australia has so many amazing beaches, so why not go for one of the best of the best? Originally carved by fishermen to store boats in, Port Willunga Beach's caves are now just waiting for you to set up a blanket and a picnic in, shade from the sun and rest a while after a nice dip in the sea. From the crystal clear waters and white sand, there are ample spots to get the perfect beach day shot.
