i am currently sitting in bed with a cup of tea on this hump day evening, thinking about how nice my little weekend away has just been.
my boyfriend, his family and i went up to Hahndorf (a little German inspired town) in the Adelaide Hills for the weekend. i am such a holiday/hotel person (even though i never go anywhere haha) so it was really nice to get away


we stayed in the cutest cottages called The Haus. One room was upstairs and one was down so it is the perfect place if you are travelling as a group and still want your own space. i am VERY picky with hotel rooms (ask my boyfriend opps) but this was a total win for me except the foxtel and wifi didn't work but oh well. it was even equipped with a double shower with wall jets; that i couldn't use because im too short /sigh.

The Haus

on saturday we arrived at like 8.30am (lets just talk about a 6am wake up on a saturday), had a nice brekky then it was time to explore. we headed over to Strathalbyn which is maybe a 20 minute drive further into the hills and is just a small town with a few nice antique shops. im not usually one for antiquing but it was cool to have a browse and see soooo much vintage stuff




i managed to find a CUTE homewares store along the way so i was happy (although the only thing i picked up from here were sunglasses). it still was my interior GOALS so i couldn't complain



after making our way back from Strath, we picked up some German hotdogs for lunch (obviously) and walked up and down the main street for a few hours browsing the very eclectic shops that Hahndorf has to offer, my favourite being the lolly shop Humbugs of course.  Dinner time saw us at the pub which German beer and schnitzels followed by bed by 9.30pm IDEAL.



basically the trip consisted of eating and eating and eating. we ate wayyyy too much but who doesn't love good food and good company.

hahndorf is such a cool little place. although i had been there a few times for day trips, i had never stayed there and fully experienced "hahndorf life". not going to lie im a total city girl so i could never live out there but it is nice to stay somewhere away from all the hustle (not really hustle) of adelaide and relax.


i hope you enjoy the sneak peak into our weekend away with the snaps taken. let me know where your ideal weekend away spot is away from all the craziness.
