Where's the best place for a romantic getaway in South Australia?

The Adelaide Hills has some incredible scenery and accommodation, perfect for every occasion. The beautiful environment and atmosphere are great for cultivating a sense of calm and relaxation.

Venture further out of Adelaide, and you'll find historic Murray River towns such as Murray Bridge, Tailem Bend and Mannum.

Mannum is a historic town on the west bank of the Murray River, an idyllic place just over an hour’s drive from Adelaide. You can slowly float up the river on a historic paddle steamer. After that, relax at one of the many pubs by the riverbank.

Of course, the best romantic getaway in the Adelaide Hills is at Riverview Rise Retreats!
