Accommodation has been booked for everyone that has requested at the Ibis Adelaide hotel (122 Grenfell St, Adelaide SA 5000). Accomodation details will be emailed to you. Please email Zac Holmes (zachary.holmes@adelaide.edu.au) or Daniel Brown (daniel.d.brown@adelaide.edu.au) for any questions you have about the room bookings.
TRAVEL
Adelaide airport is about 20 minutes from the CBD area.
Taxi or ride share: Outside of the arrivals section you'll find both a taxi rank and a rideshare area. Rideshares will only pick up at the designated areas. The ride share area is signed, you leave the terminal on the ground floor and walk towards the car park. You cross the road and go into the ground floor of the car park to get to the rideshare pick up point.
Bus: There are four public buses that pass through the Adelaide Airport, two of which go via the city. They will stop on Grenfell street, near to the Ibis Hotel. They are collectively called the JetBus:
The bus stop can be found a short walk from the airport exit. Make your way diagonally left across the plaza until you meet the road, then turn to your left. The bus stop is around 50m along the road on the same side.
These buses run on the Adelaide public transport system, so if you have a MetroCard you can use that to catch the bus. If you don’t have a card, there is a yellow ticket machine located at the bus stop where you can purchase a single ticket to get you into the city centre. An adult ticket is currently $5.80 (August 2021) but depending on the time of day (between 9am & 3pm weekdays, all day Sundays and public holidays), you may be able to get an off-peak ticket for $3.90. To catch the bus to Adelaide Airport on your way home, there will be a bus stop approximately opposite the road where you got off. This time you are looking for the buses going to Glenelg and Harbour Town.
