Cricket, Concerts, and a Walk by the Torrens

Adelaide Oval is one of the country's most picturesque sporting grounds, set right on the River Torrens with the city skyline as a backdrop. Beyond match days, it offers stadium tours, the Bradman Collection for cricket history buffs, and the RoofClimb experience for anyone after a different kind of view over the city.

It's walkable from Hume if you don't mind a solid half-hour stroll, or a quick ten-minute drive if you'd rather save your legs. Worth knowing ahead of time: parking near the ground gets tight on event days, so it's worth sorting that out in advance rather than hoping for a spot nearby.

Adelaide Oval is about 2.9 km from Hume by car — roughly a 10 minute drive via King William Street, though traffic around War Memorial Drive slows considerably before and after a fixture. On foot it's 2.7 km, around 38 minutes via Frome Street. The free Adelaide Metro 99C bus is the easiest option on event days.

Yes, but it's a proper walk rather than a quick stroll — about 2.7 km and 38 minutes via Frome Street, through the eastern parklands and across the River Torrens footbridge. It's flat the whole way and well lit on event nights, when a steady stream of people is making the same trip. Most guests still take the free 99C bus home after a night match.

The free Adelaide Metro 99C bus loops the city and North Adelaide and is the simplest way to reach the Oval from Hume. It costs nothing, avoids the event-day traffic, and saves both the 38 minute walk and the hunt for a park.

Parking around the ground is limited and fills early — on big fixtures, hours before the first ball. If you're staying with us, park once and leave the car where it is. Hume has secure allocated parking across two above-ground levels at $25 per night, with 24-hour access and a private entrance into the building. Spaces are limited, so book yours when you book the apartment rather than on arrival.

Cricket runs roughly November to March — Test matches, one-dayers and Big Bash fixtures. AFL runs March to September, with both the Crows and Port Adelaide playing home games there, which means Showdowns fill the city twice a season. Concerts and one-off events run year-round.

Yes. Accommodation across central Adelaide tightens sharply around Test matches, Showdowns and major concerts, often months out. If your trip is built around a specific fixture, book as soon as the schedule drops — waiting until the week before generally means paying more for less choice.

The 2-Bedroom Standard sleeps four across a queen and two singles. The 2-Bedroom Deluxe sleeps five with a pull-out sofa bed and sits on the upper levels with city or Hills views.

Yes. Stadium tours run most days, the Bradman Collection is free to visit, and the RoofClimb takes you over the top of the stands for views across the city and the Adelaide Hills. Check current tour times before you go.

The ground has accessible seating, entrances and facilities. The walk from Hume is flat and step-free but long at 2.7 km — the free 99C bus, or a taxi or rideshare dropping off close to the gates, will suit most guests better.
