6. Iluka's Eden Retreat
An atypical farm stay that’s luxurious with a slick and unique design is certainly the type of accommodation you’d want to visit and tell all your friends about back home.

Some of its amenities include cable TV to watch entertaining shows, a game console to play challenging games, and children’s books and toys for the little ones. The accommodation is in a secluded area, thus, we recommend renting a vehicle, as attractions such as Adelaide Hills, Barossa Valley, and Victor Harbor are about a 30-minute drive away.
