Carrickalinga

The Running Postman is located in Carrickalinga on the Fleurieu Peninsula, just over an hour’s drive south of Adelaide in South Australia.  Carrickalinga's expansive, white sand beach is an easy 7 minute stroll away.  In summer enjoy a dip in the crystal clear waters, laze in the sun with a good book, or simply delight in a peaceful meander along the beach.  In winter, enjoy the escapism that only a quiet wind-swept beach can provide.  Then allow the slow combustion fire at the Running Postman to welcome you back from your adventures and encourage you to snuggle up and relax.

Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia

Carrickalinga is a fantastic base to explore the Fleurieu Peninsula from.  McLaren Vale, one of South Australia’s premier wine regions, is 30 minutes drive north; Victor Harbor, a great spot for whale watching in Winter and early Spring, is 30 min drive east; wonderful bush-walking is on hand at Deep Creek Conservation Park just 20 min drive south; or, if you’re also planning on visiting Kangaroo Island, the ferry leaves from Cape Jervis at the southern tip of the Fleurieu, 20 minutes away.  But don’t feel you need to travel far to enjoy the Fleurieu, a number of wineries, art galleries, fantastic beaches and restaurants can be found within the immediate area of Carrickalinga, Normanville and Yankalilla.
