I wonder what happened to the refurbishment of IC Adelaide. All I saw happen was new lifts

Maybe it’ll rebrand as a Hilton….

It’s about 15 minutes from home so I must go up and stay there one day to check it out. I know the people who owned the land and I wouldn’t mind knowing what they sold it for. I’ll have to quiz him when I see him at the local footy this year. Barossa Helicopters will be running a promo with them eventually too according to the owners

Yeah, was a bit surprised when I heard the announcement but dozens of wineries within about 10-15 minutes drive

Agreed. Although the bigger names and cult wineries are further north. As are most of the better restaurants. As you rightly point out though, distances aren't great and I think Uber operated in the area now?

Yeah, Uber up there plus a lot more tour companies offering weekend trips up there so should be able to run some packages with the hotel. Everything in the Barossa is within a fairly short drive and by time the hotel is finished hopefully some other infrastructure is completed

Makes my grumble about the Novotel being too far out of Tanunda seem kinda silly
