Lobethal put the Adelaide Hills on the festive map for its festive spirit. The streets come alive with Christmas lights, hot chocolates, donuts, and holiday treats. But there’s more to Lobethal than its Christmas charm.
Shouldering Woodside, Lobethal is a weekend hotspot for adventuring families. It’s perfectly positioned in a part of the Hills that encourages exploring. On one side, there’s Woodside, Oakbank, Balhannah, and Hahndorf.
Go the other way and you’ll reach Birdwood and Gumeracha. You can also cut through the winding backroads and travel to Lenswood, Summertown, and Uraidla. Lobethal is the adorable, oh-so-Hills town that’s well-connected. It’s one of the most underrated towns to own an Adelaide Hills property.
The Lobethal lifestyle
