About the area...
HAHNDORF
Located just 25 minutes from Adelaide, Hahndorf is Australia’s oldest surviving German settlement. Ever-popular among tourists, the town is known for its traditional German flavour most evident in the shops, restaurants, pubs and cafes that line the picturesque main street. Providing a contrast to the buzz of the tourist hub that forms the main street is the peaceful, village-style atmosphere of the residential zone. The surrounding farms, sweeping countryside and vineyards with scenic views provide a unique backdrop to the entire region and contribute to the relaxed country lifestyle.
