What people imagine Australia to be - red sands, grassy plains, and rich wildlife, including kangaroos and koalas - can actually all be found in South Australia. Among its natural wonders include the red sand dunes of the Simpson Desert, the colorful Flinders Ranges, the gorgeous beaches on Kangaroo Island, the verdant Barossa and Clare Valleys, and Murray River, the longest of its kind in Australia. Those who want to visit the region to spot wildlife can head over to Cleland Conservation Park or Gorge Wildlife. Meanwhile, foodies and wine lovers will also love this region for its various offerings. In fact, South Australia is home to award-winning wineries. There are plenty of things to do in South Australia. And there’s a lot of Airbnbs to choose from, some are even pet-friendly. If you’re planning to explore the wild side of down under, choose among these Airbnbs in South-Australia, Australia.
