    Glenelg is a nice area - I stay there whenever I'm in ADL at the Stamford Grand. I am usually paying less than $200 for a ocean view and less than $175 for a city view (which is ok for me always being alone).



    The Stamford Grand

    The choice of resturants is kinda limited in Glenelg central however, there is a small cosy Itallian there which is devine! (and well priced) and there are a couple of good watering holes on the main street which seem to go off (!) after about 10pm...

    The Stamford has a nice piano bar which looks out at the ocean and has an excellent resturant on site - the seafood platter is worth every cent!!!

    The tram from town runs to and fro Glenelg and a taxi costs about $20

    The Holdfast Marina - about 5 to 10 minutes walk depending on "consumption" has about 10 or so resturants with the Peir hotel having live bands (as opposed to dead ones?)

    I believe there are serviced apartments etc in the area and other hotels, but I only stay at the grand so can't comment...

    <EDIT> just looked on Wotif - there's quite a few hotels in Glenelg - I am surprised!


    Mr!

    I'm surprised too, although it's been a year or three since I was last in the area.

    AFAIK, there's at least a dozen restaurants/eating places within a five minute walk from the Grand!

    I presume the Italian restaurant is the one near the tram terminus (South Side).

    I sould have clarified - limited to suit my likes and dislikes ...Sorry - mind you, I did say Central Glenelg i.e the main street

    Italian - Yes - on the side street on the left walking away from the terminus...

    The stars have aligned for this wonderful event.

    The Australia vs New Zealand cricket test series is in Adelaide for that weekend.

    I am there.

    Fantastic. When do tickets go on sale? And will there be play on Sunday?
