South Australia has many hotels and motels including 5-star international hotels. Standards vary, but ensuite, TV, drink-making facilities and, sometimes, a small fridge is the norm. In addition, there is a wide variety of holiday flats and apartments for rent. Further information is available from the South Australian Tourism Commission.

Bed & breakfast, farmstay and cottage accommodation is available throughout the state. Staying in a bed & breakfast is a good way to see how everyday Australians live - particularly in rural areas. Accommodation is often quite luxurious.

South Australia has many caravan parks. They usually offer sites with full amenities and power. A number of companies can arrange camper van hire, with a range of fully equipped vehicles. Bush camping with limited facilities is available in the national parks and is especially good at Innes, Lincoln, Coffin Bay and the Coorong national parks.
