For decades millions of visitors have made the day trip to Hahndorf to walk up and down the High Street and discover the diverse shops, eateries and experience the village of Hahndorf has to offer.
Most, if not all South Australian’s have visited themselves or brought visiting family and friends you for a walk and bite to eat.
But have you stayed the night or even considered venturing to Hahndorf after 5 and after dark to explore the twinkling fairy lights and embark on a different journey?
The village has a very different feel at night. Without the hustle and bustle of the daytime, Hahndorf takes on a quiet beauty and offers a European romance, especially in the warmer weather when locals and guests spill out onto the balconies, verandahs and footpaths for alfresco dining and drinking.
Many Hahndorf residents wander the streets with their dogs and chat to neighbours about their days and wave to people passing by.
It’s the perfect place for a date night with choices of bars and restaurants with cosy nooks and a beautiful historic streetscape to take a walk from venue to venue.
Plenty of accommodation right on Main Street and many breakfast options in the morning.
