World-class wine, outstanding beaches and idyllic hills regions

Adelaide is South Australia’s culture capital, smaller in size than its East Coast counterparts, but with a rich calendar of festivals and events running throughout the year. Fringed by long-reaching picturesque beaches to the west and lush hills to the east, Adelaide is the essence of small city charm. The city centre is easily navigable and just over 1-mile square, meaning the major sites such as the Adelaide Oval, South Australian Museum, and the Botanical Gardens, as well as the finest restaurants and hottest bars are within easy walking distance.

What do I love about working at The Tailor?

The whole process of planning a client’s Australia holiday is always such a fun challenge and an opportunity to get creative. It’s an amazing feeling when your clients are finally traveling all over the country, experiencing all the beautiful and unique destinations Australia has to offer, knowing they will make memories of a lifetime. I also love being surrounded by a bunch of creative and passionate people and our team is just that! There is so much knowledge in our office and we are constantly learning from one another.

A destination on my bucket list… Why?

The beautiful Lord Howe Island, located in the Tasman Sea and off the New South Wales Coast. This World Heritage listed Island is the perfect destination for nature lovers like myself. With its lush rainforest with rare and endemic flora and fauna, pristine beaches and sea life there is just so much to explore. When I travel, I enjoy a good balance between relaxing and reading my book and being out and about hiking, snorkelling, sailing, kayaking or surfing. Lorde Howe Island would certainly tick all these boxes.
