The temperature might be dropping, but that just means it’s the perfect time to turn up the adventure! Nestled in the heart of the Adelaide Hills, Woodhouse Adventure Park is your go-to winter playground. Where else can you spend your days toasting marshmallows, braving the obstacle course, or flying down a waterless waterslide?
Just 25 minutes from Adelaide, it’s close enough for a quick escape – while still feeling like a world away. Still not convinced? Here are 10 reasons why Woodhouse is the ultimate winter getaway:
1: COSY CAMPFIRES:
Winter nights, starry skies, and the crackle of a campfire - does it get any better? Whether you're swapping stories or perfecting your marshmallow-roasting technique, gathering around a campfire is the heart of the Woodhouse experience in Winter. Campfire essentials are available for purchase at Reception, or you can bring in your own.
2: ADVENTUROUS ACTIVITIES TO WARM YOU UP:
Challenge Hill obstacle course, Cameron’s Climb, the multi-dimensional bouldering challenge, The Labyrinth split-level maze, Disc Golf and more - there’s no shortage of action to get your blood pumping and keep the winter chills at bay.
3: TRAILS MADE FOR EXPLORING:
Crisp air, golden light, and zero mozzies? Yes, please! With the Heysen Trail running through the property, plus orienteering, photo hunts, and forest trails, winter is the ideal time to wander.
4: WATERLESS WATERSLIDES:
Who needs summer? Our epic tube slides bring the thrill without the splash. Zoom down the hills, feel the wind in your hair - and stay totally dry doing it.
5: WEATHER-READY STAYS:
Forget “bad weather” – Choose your ideal accommodation and pack well! Choose from glamping bell tents, heated chalets, or our spacious campgrounds with undercover base camps. Rain or shine, you’re sorted.
6: CAMPFIRE COOKING DELIGHTS
Everything tastes better cooked over a fire. Think jaffles, damper, s’mores and more. Add a hot choccy (we sell some at reception if you’ve forgotten your own!) and you've got dinner AND dessert sorted. Check out our Campfire Cookbook for extra inspiration.
7: FEWER CROWDS, MORE SPACE:
Winter’s the insider secret - less hustle, shorter lines, and more space to spread out and soak it all in. You’ll wonder why you ever waited for summer.
8: HOT SHOWERS & EXCELLENT FACILITIES
It’s the most comfortable way to rough it! Hot showers, clean loos, undercover shelters with dining and well-kept BBQs mean you can camp without compromise.
9: GROUP ACCOMMODATION MADE EASY
Planning a winter camp or group getaway? Our group accommodation buildings sleep up to 190 and make the perfect base for school groups, retreats, clubs or big family adventures.
10: A TASTE OF TRUE ADVENTURE
At Woodhouse, winter is about stepping out of your comfort zone - and loving it. Because sometimes the best memories come from trying something new!
So what are you waiting for? The fire’s warm, the trails are calling, and the slides are ready. Whether you’re planning a family weekend, group retreat or a spontaneous winter escape, Woodhouse Adventure Park is your ultimate cold-weather playground.
