Hotels near the Fullarton Park Centre
Hotels selling out!
Apparently some of the hotels we listed as places to stay for the empowerment have sold out. I suspect this may have something to do with it being Grand Final weekend.
One suggestion is to stay at the YHA in town. There's some nearby buses that take half an hour to get to the Fullarton Centre. http://www.yha.com.au/hostels/sa/adelaide/adelaide-central/
You can look at some "find cheap rooms" websites, but please check where the hotels are, some may be on the other side of the city - a long way to travel on Saturday! Check where they are on Google map relative to the empowerment venue - 411 Fullarton Rd, Fullarton SA 5063.

Hotels nearest the venue
These are some hotels near the Fullarton Park Centre (the venue for the Tara Empowerment). They're all within 20-30 minutes walking distance. As far as I'm aware they're all delightful but caveat emptor. We've had feedback that some have sold out. If you do ring and they have sold out please email us and we'll take them off the website. (email address is info@meditationinadelaide.com.au )
There are buses from the airport to Glen Osmond Road, and the trip takes about an hour and a quarter. (To plot a bus route from the airport use the google-map and type in "Adelaide Airport SA" as the destination.) A taxi takes about 25 minutes and costs $25-30.
If you're driving from Melbourne the road route ends up in this part of Adelaide. The last highway part of the trip is the Adelaide Crafers Hwy (A1) which turns into Glen Osmond Road (A1).
I googled, and then rang and asked for room rates for Friday 24th September and Saturday 25th September. They are included below.
