GatherRound

Between January and April, Adelaide runs one of the densest event calendars of any city its size. Tour Down Under, then Fringe and the Adelaide Festival across February and March, WOMADelaide in Botanic Park, LIV Golf, and Gather Round bringing an entire AFL round to town in April. Illuminate lights up the city in July.

For any of it, eight people in one house works better than eight people in four hotel rooms — and costs less. Villa Rose books out early for peak weeks. If you have dates, take them.
