A Taste of Home - Supporting Local through Luxury Stays

A Taste of Home - Supporting Local through Luxury Stays

For Julie Johnson, owner of Adelaide Style Accommodation, providing a luxury stay is about more than just high-end interiors and award-winning comfort. Since establishing the business in 2018, Julie has focused on creating an experience where guests can truly 'live like a local.' This philosophy extends beyond the walls of her properties and into the very fabric of the South Australian economy. 


By actively encouraging guests to support local producers and businesses, Julie ensures that every stay contributes to the vibrancy of the state she calls home. Central to Julie's approach is a deep-seated commitment to the 'Buy SA for SA' movement. She believes that as a hospitality leader, she has a unique platform to showcase the incredible talent and produce found right here in South Australia. 


This dedication to her community is matched by a strong focus on environmental advocacy. Julie has successfully integrated her passion for conservation into the business model by supporting organisations such as Trees for Life SA and Butterfly Conservation SA. The evolution of Adelaide Style Accommodation from a single property to a multi-award-winning brand demonstrates a successful marriage of commercial excellence and community-minded values. Whether it is through the curated local items found in her properties or her active support of South Australian biodiversity, Julie remains a vocal advocate for the region. 


This dual commitment to excellence and impact hasn't gone unnoticed; Julie was recently recognised as a finalist in the 2024 South Australian Tourism Awards. 


"I encourage buying local products and giving complimentary gifts — I support Buy SA for SA."
