Yes, we did mention that hotels were to be looked past for unique adventure stays in South Australia, however the Desert Hotel in Coober Pedy truly is a diamond in the rough. The Desert Hotel is an unusual form of accommodation but is one of very few places in SA where guests can sleep underground in a hotel room. Many previous guests have even mentioned that staying here has meant the best sleep they have ever had because of the cool climate. Coober Pedy is also famous for opal mining and many shops, bars and opal displays are also located underground in the town. Photos by Payten Castle<\/a> and The Desert Hotel. Ever wondered what it\u2019s like to sleep in a real treehouse? Well now\u2019s your chance to try some weird accommodation! Located in Bridgewater, just a short 20-25 minute drive from Adelaide is the Enchanted Treehouse. Perfect for couples are anyone wanting to relive their youth, this little room high above a native eucalyptus tree enables two guests to stay for as long as they\u2019d like. The treehouse is small but cosy and comes fully equipped with everything one (or two) needs such as mini cooktop, a balcony, sofa and pull-down (from the ceiling) bed. Let your imagination run wild or just snuggle up amongst nature \u2013 it\u2019s up to you.

Well think again! Just a short half an hour\u2019s drive south of Adelaide you can find yourself living and sleeping in a fully refurbished and decked-out shipping container \u2013 some crazy accommodation for a couple\u2019s retreat. This 12metre (length) x 3 metre (height) container sleeps two guests and may seem somewhat cramped but is a great escape to have a very different and unique stay in South Australia. Container 65 is also tucked away amongst the wildlife of Kangarilla and overlooks the many vineyards of nearby McLaren Vale (famous for world-class wineries). So, if and when you do want to go out and stretch your legs, there\u2019s plenty of room just on your doorstep. This is also not to forget the large deck area adjoining the accommodation which is a great place to relax too.

Thankfully now it has been re-established as a very unique but comfy place to stay – even with a five-star rating. The inn has been delicately re-stylised with four bedrooms and three adjoining spa bathrooms. However, its most unique and notable feature is the old-school fire engine which sits in the main living room, adding that \u2018firey\u2019 touch.\u00a0 So, bring out the inner fireman in you or just stay somewhere out of the ordinary.

Ideal for two guests (a great couple\u2019s retreat) this quaint but stylishly furbished home-ette\u2019 is situated right on the Murray River in South Australia. Balancing delicately on the water, what better way to spend a weekend away or just a day or two by yourselves. The rental even comes with two kayaks as your crazy modes of transport for the river. So, if you\u2019re wanting a traditional Aussie getaway with a bit of a twist we suggest you check out this unusual but tranquil escape.
