Discover Piccadilly

Piccadilly brings together different ideas for a stay: wine tastings, day hikes along sections of the Heysen Trail and several adventure activities. You can then decide whether your trip should focus more on food and wine, hiking or a variety of activities. If you’re travelling with family, you can take everyone’s interests into account.

Wine in the Piccadilly Valley

At the Tapanappa Cellar Door, you can discover wines from Tapanappa, DAOSA and Terre à Terre in the Piccadilly Valley. Wine tastings are also offered there. The cellar door is open daily, including public holidays, from 11 am to 4 pm. This time window is a useful guide when planning your visit into the day. The Tapanappa Cellar Door is at the foot of The Tiers Vineyard. For wine enthusiasts, this creates a special connection between the tasting venue and the vineyard mentioned.

Hiking the Heysen Trail

The Heysen Trail passes through Piccadilly, and sections of the trail can be walked as day hikes. So you don’t need to think of a hike here as a plan to complete the entire trail: a single section can be the focus of your hiking day. If hiking is part of your holiday plans, you can consider whether this kind of day trip suits your journey. This information refers to sections of the trail, not to a particular distance or difficulty level.

Active experiences

Woodhouse Adventure Park has several different activities: the Challenge Hill obstacle course, disc golf, orienteering and tube slides. Challenge Hill has more than 30 obstacles. This makes it easier to consider the offerings in terms of the kind of activity you’re looking for: the obstacle course is one option among several, while disc golf and orienteering are different activities. When planning a holiday together, you can consider which of these offerings might interest your group rather than treating all the activities as a single experience.

Mount Lofty Adventure Hub offers a 324-metre-long forest zipline, as well as a climbing wall, a Megaswing and ropes courses. The zipline’s length is a useful detail for anyone particularly interested in this activity. The climbing wall, Megaswing and ropes courses add more activities to the mix. If you’re comparing different options, you can focus on the specific activity that best matches your shared holiday interests.

Getting your bearings at Mount Lofty Botanic Garden

Bus stop Stop 30E Piccadilly Road is approximately 1 km from the lower entrance to Mount Lofty Botanic Garden. This distance is a helpful guide if the garden is among the places you’re considering.

Planning a stay that suits you

When choosing a holiday rental in Piccadilly, you can start by asking what you’d like your stay to focus on: a visit with set opening hours, a day hike or one of the adventure activities mentioned. For families, it can be helpful to weigh up these interests together. That way, your decision is guided by the experiences you actually want to plan, rather than a general idea of what a holiday in Piccadilly should be.
