Spend a few hours enjoying the panoramic views across a gorgeous purple lavender farm.
There are a couple of different lavender farms in Adelaide. If you want to see one, the must visit lavender farm in Adelaide is Lyndoch Lavender Farm. This farm is South Australia’s largest lavender farm and is nestled in the Barossa Valley, about an hour’s drive from Adelaide City.
How can I get there?
The best way to get to Lyndoch Lavender Farm is via car. You can hire one for the day and drive from the city down North East Road (or Lower North East Road which turns onto North East Road).
Continue down until you turn off to S Para Road and keep driving until you hit a T section. Turn left down Queen Street which soon turns into Lyndoch Valley Road.
Soon you’ll turn right onto Hoffnungsthal Road and then left down the same road that leads you right down to the lavender farm.
