What is the fastest way to travel from Melbourne to Adelaide?

The fastest way to travel from Melbourne to Adelaide is by booking a direct flight from Melbourne Airport (MEL) to Adelaide Airport (ADL). The flight duration is just 1 hour and 20 minutes, with budget airlines like Jetstar offering one-way fares starting around AUD 85 (~MYR 250).

If speed is your ultimate priority, taking to the skies is an absolute no-brainer. Every day, dozens of direct flights depart from Melbourne's busy Tullamarine Airport. You can choose from highly reliable domestic carriers including Qantas, Virgin Australia, and Jetstar.

Prices will naturally fluctuate based on the season and local school holidays. However, you can typically snag economy seats for well under AUD 150 (~MYR 440) if you book just a few weeks in advance.

Pro-Tip: When hunting for Trip.com Flight Deals, try flying mid-week on a Tuesday or Wednesday to score the absolute cheapest airfares. Once you land at Adelaide Airport, a quick 15-minute taxi or the public JetExpress bus ride will drop you straight into the bustling city centre.

How much does The Overland train Melbourne to Adelaide cost?

A ticket for The Overland train Melbourne to Adelaide costs between AUD 160 (~MYR 470) for a standard seat and AUD 375 (~MYR 1,100) for a premium ticket. This iconic rail journey takes approximately 10 hours and 30 minutes, offering a beautifully relaxing transit.

For over 130 years, The Overland has connected these two vibrant cities in serious style. Operated by Journey Beyond Rail, this heritage service departs from Melbourne's Southern Cross Station twice a week (usually Mondays and Fridays). It eventually pulls into the Adelaide Parklands Terminal just as the sun begins to set.

It is a supremely relaxing way to travel, offering spacious seating and a dedicated cafe carriage where you can grab a hot meal. If you upgrade to a Red Premium ticket, you get glorious extra legroom and all-inclusive dining throughout the trip.

It is not the fastest route, but watching the rugged Grampians and sprawling mallee scrub roll by your window easily beats staring at boring highway traffic. Keep an eye out for seasonal rail packages by checking Trip.com Train Tickets.

How long is a Melbourne to Adelaide road trip and where should you stop?

A direct Melbourne to Adelaide road trip via the Western Highway (A8) takes roughly 8 hours of driving time to cover 720 kilometres. However, taking the scenic coastal route along the Great Ocean Road requires at least two to three days to fully enjoy.

Hitting the open road offers the ultimate travel freedom. If you are rushing, the inland route via the M8 and A8 highways is straightforward and highly efficient. You will pass through charming Victorian country towns like Ballarat and Horsham. Just be mindful of fuel stops and kangaroo crossings at dusk!

For the true adventurers, turning this commute into a multi-day holiday is highly recommended. Rent a spacious vehicle via Trip.com Car Hire and head straight down the Great Ocean Road.

Must-see stops along this stunning coastal journey include the towering Twelve Apostles in Port Campbell National Park. Later, cross the border into South Australia and check out the breathtaking Blue Lake in Mount Gambier before cruising into Adelaide.

Where to stay and what to see near Adelaide

Once you complete your epic journey from Melbourne to Adelaide, finding the perfect base camp is essential. Adelaide is famously walkable and laid-back, meaning a centrally located hotel puts you right in the middle of the action without needing a rental car.

For a touch of classic luxury, book a room at the Stamford Plaza Adelaide. It is located right on North Terrace, directly opposite the famous Adelaide Casino and Parliament House. Room rates hover around AUD 220 (~MYR 650) per night, offering brilliant city views and exceptional room service.

If you want a more budget-friendly, ultra-modern vibe, the Ibis Adelaide on Grenfell Street is fantastic. Nightly rates here sit at a very comfortable AUD 140 (~MYR 410), leaving you more money to spend on local food and wine. Always check out Trip.com Hotels for exclusive local discounts and bundle deals tailored specifically for your dates.

After checking in and dropping off your luggage, head straight to the historic Adelaide Central Market to sample fresh South Australian produce and artisanal cheeses. If you prefer ocean breezes, hop on the Glenelg Tram from Victoria Square. A breezy 30-minute ride takes you directly to Glenelg Beach, which is the ultimate spot for a sunset stroll and fresh fish and chips.

Great view, decent service and location however I was put in the room next to the lifts and was kept awake/woken up for a large portion of the night until late, and early in the mornings on both nights of my stay. Complained at reception however they weren’t much help nor did they offer a discount on my stay. Very disappointed - otherwise great just make sure they don’t put you next to the noisy elevators!

The room was comfortable and quiet, and very clean. They provided shower gel, shampoo, hand soap, and lotion, and even a thoughtful sewing kit. Environment: The surroundings were beautiful. Service: Excellent. Check-in and check-out at the front desk were quick and easy. The breakfast was rich and varied. Parking: We parked in a public parking lot about a 5-minute walk from the hotel, which cost AUD 35 per night. There's also free 30-minute parking right in front of the hotel.

For my 21-day trip to Australia, I stayed in 11 hotels, mainly across Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. Here's my ranking of the hotels from best to worst in terms of overall experience, with value for money factored in: 1. Capella Sydney (Lower value for money) 2. Park Hyatt Melbourne (High value for money) 3. InterContinental Melbourne The Rialto (Medium value for money) 4. Crown Towers Melbourne (High value for money) 5. Le Méridien Melbourne (Medium value for money) 6. Hilton Adelaide (Medium value for money) 7. The Langham Melbourne (Lower value for money) 8. Citadines on Bourke Melbourne (Best value for money) 9. Meriton Suites Waterloo, Sydney (High value for money) 10. Best Western Plus Travel Inn Hotel, Melbourne (Lower value for money) 11. The Hotel Windsor, Melbourne (Worst value for money) The Park Hyatt Melbourne stood out as having the best service among all 11 hotels. We arrived around 5:00 PM and were informed our room wasn't quite ready, requiring a 10-15 minute wait. Before I could even react, the front desk staff immediately offered complimentary breakfast for the next day as an apology, along with a voucher for two drinks at the lobby bar while we waited. Of course, we happily accepted! The hotel's location is a little outside the very center, situated behind Parliament House and right next to St. Patrick's Cathedral, which you can see from the rooms. Fitzroy Gardens, home to Cook's Cottage, is also within walking distance and worth a visit. I was very impressed with the hotel's amenities. The room even had a three-prong power outlet, a feature I didn't find in any other hotel. The 'old money' decor gave it a grounded and understated elegance. Breakfast was excellent and very extensive, with freshly made Western pastries that were incredibly delicious. I heard their flat white is even better than those from popular specialty coffee shops. The heated pool was long and narrow, feeling like it was definitely more than 25 meters. There's also a tennis court available for A$50 an hour, though you need to bring your own racket.

Overall, the service was excellent. The staff were very friendly and quick to meet our needs. A special thanks to Anna and a Chinese male front desk staff member who helped us with our special requests. The restaurant staff also provided very attentive service. We booked a premium room and were given a high-floor corner twin room. It was spacious and very comfortable, with a complimentary mini-bar. The bed was on the softer side, the kind you sink into, but the pillows were great for sleeping! The room and bathroom were generally clean. The toiletries were an Australian brand, nice and fragrant. Do note that the mini-bar wasn't refilled during our multi-night stay. Downsides: 1. The wear and tear on the carpet was really hard to ignore, with some dark, sticky stains. 2. It wasn't a smart TV, but an older model with traditional channels. The breakfast was delicious. Although the menu was the same for two consecutive days and the selection wasn't extensive, it was refined. Each person received one complimentary espresso, and you could also order omelets/fried eggs separately. However, the coffee quality was a bit hit-or-miss. The hotel facilities include a gym and a rooftop bar with a dress code. The location is very close to Rundle Mall, and it's convenient to walk to the Art Gallery, Library, and Exchange Coffee. You can take the tram directly to Glenelg, and an Uber to the airport only took about 20 minutes. The only drawback is that the surrounding area is quite messy, and there are many Indigenous Australians (Aboriginal people) on the streets. First-time visitors to Australia should be cautious. In terms of value for money, I definitely recommend it!

No car park attached to hotel, have to drive to car park yourself or pay $55 for a chauffeur to drive it. Room service menu was fancy stuff from the downstairs restaurant. Nothing simple. Not even room service breakfast available. On the note of the restaurant downstairs this is where the “buffet” breakfast was and I use that term loosely. Shocking variety. Even have to do our own coffees right in a tiny corner of the the room. One coffee at a time while the line gets bigger. We have to get a special order for eggs because the scrambled eggs are just mush. At least the toaster worked. And the space fits maybe 20 which is fine for a B&B but not for a 16 floor hotel. We had to have breakfast at 8 to avoid the crowds waiting at 9 and later. In the room itself (we had a suite), there were light switches EVERYWHERE. And they were all so confusing as you couldn’t see what they said. Then the one in the bathroom you had to walk in and close the door to access it. No fan ventilation for showers. Bath mats being so thin gets immediately soaked after one shower. No face washers. Bench was too low for a bathroom. Hand towels way too low. The size of the bathroom was nice though and the shower pressure was good. TV remote didn’t work properly, could not find all amenities like coffee, tea, fridge even etc. No nice hotel guide folder to help us out. The “desk” was the tv cabinet when there was plenty of space in the lounge area to have a desk. Then we had a balcony with no chairs or table to sit at (can easily have some out there and bolt them down for safety). The temperature stuff don’t even get me started. Uncomfy beds and flat pillows. I ended up sleeping on the lounger as it was more comfortable. I don’t think I’ll be back anytime soon. Wasn’t horrible but wasn’t great. The staff were nice though which was a nice change

The hotel boasts spacious rooms and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The accommodation itself is very comfortable, and I particularly liked the kitchen being open for 20 hours, allowing guests to cook whenever they please. The only downside is the lack of privacy; I'd suggest installing curtains or blinds around each bed for better seclusion.

The receptionist didn't check who I was and didn't disclose the hotel room number when I told her that my partner has already checked in and I had paid for the hotel room. They don't provide a spare key when 2 adults are staying in 1 room. The amenities were decent however they need to have their signs laminated for DO NOT DISTURB or for HOUSEKEEPING SERVICE as I couldn't put the sign on the door knob because it's made out of cardboard. I could hear mobile notification noises from the room next door throughout the early morning which is annoying, there should be a sign about that. Other than that, the amenities were functional and easy to use, the bed was comfortable for me to sleep in after 20 hour flight and easy to get to. The check out reception were great.

Smelly rooms. Towels looked grey. The air-conditioning exhaust fan is connected directly to the hallway and makes it unbearably hot once walking out of our unit. This terrible design also renders the air-conditioning inside the room ineffective when the hot air being pumped out eventually seeps though the gap between the door and the walls/floor mixing with the cooler air in the apartment. I have to commend the engineer who thought of this ingenious way to waste energy and torture hotel guests while the aforementioned guests were trying their best to do their part in saving sea turtles by sipping tepid drinks in their psuedo sauna rooms with paper straws which slowly melt into pulps, at the same time pondering what life choices they have made to deserve this. As a group of atheists, we couldn't help but reflect and repent. Hell does exist. It might be akin to staying in an apartment eqiuped with an infinite heating loop during the scorching summer of Adelaide. The A/C eventually failed completely in two out of three rooms during our second night of stay. We did not ask for help from the hotel staff as it's already 2am. After one long sleepless night, we rushed back to the Northern Hemisphere and accepted Jesus Christ as our only lord and saviour. Amen.

This is a great location and i enjoyed my stay albeit a couple of niggles. The shape of the room meant the TV was so far away from the bed.

The bedding is comfortable and soundproofed. I slept until noon on my first day. The hotel also has a historic cottage, which you need to contact the front desk to unlock. After the tour, you just need to close the door. The hotel also provides toothbrushes, so if you forget, you can ask the front desk for them. They also provide laundry detergent, which is rare in Australia; most hotels cost 3 Australian dollars. Occasionally, the official website offers a lower price than OTAs, and you can choose to order wine, late check-out, or early check-in. Consider the trade-offs.

Great hotel, pool wasn’t that warm when me and my partner stayed so it wasn’t that enjoyable. It was also quite small more of a lap pool than anything. Our fan above the shower was quite dusty they sent someone in the room to clean it when we left and they did. Claimed that the fans are cleaned weekly but I beg to differ. The room was quite small for the price as well our sink had to be closed almost the whole time because it stunk out the room so badly. Didn’t get that well or a view from our room either. Beds are comfy and feel good. Shower was great we didn’t have a bath in our room. Overall I wouldn’t spend that much for that room again cause it wasn’t that worth it

The overall experience swings to both extremes — some things were very good, while others were quite disappointing. Good: New and Modern interior design, especially impressive for a motel-rated property. Spacious room with an exceptionally comfortable bed. Wide variety of in-room beverages. Concierge staff were very friendly and helpful. Free parking for motel guests (unlike the sister hotels, which charge $15 for 24 hours). Bad: No self-service laundry — a major drawback for a motel. I had to walk 480m to a public laundromat on first day.. then only learned that we can use laundry service at sister hotel. Poorly designed shower area. The shower platform is higher than the toilet section, causing water to flow out into the toilet area instead of towards the drain — very odd design. Internet is weak, unstable, and slow. If your child wants to play Roblox… forget it. Housekeeping needs significant improvement. They didn’t wash the mugs and glasses, didn’t clear used plates, didn’t sweep the floor, and didn’t replace the trash bag — they only changed the towels.

Beautiful apartment located close to City West Tram Stop and Adelaide Station. West End area is within walking distance from Adelaide Convention Centre and the river Torrens. These apartments are equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Even a washing machine! It can be a little noisy if your apartment is facing the main street, but overall, it's a wonderful stay!

The deposit has not been refunded yet. Check the items after check-out. There is no damage to anything. You can retire. It should be a very simple matter. The hotel's door is best located outside because it is stretched into the road. Easy to find.

The hotel is in the city center, the room is on the second floor, the bar is downstairs, but the night is quiet. The check-in procedure is very efficient, the room is not bad, the bathroom has a relatively large bathtub, and it is very comfortable to take a hot bath after a day of traveling outside. The hotel does not have an elevator, the little girl at the front desk is very fierce, she picks up our 20 kilograms of suitcases on the second floor.

We are a family of 5 and we booked 3 rooms for 3 nights. The hotel did not give us rooms on the same floor. They said they had no idea that we were traveling together as I did not tell them we were traveling together. I answered the reservation of the 3 rooms was made under ONE booking, does it tell you we are traveling together or I was just booking the other 2 rooms for strangers .....The receptionist was speechless then, but nothing she could do as the hotel was fully booked she said. We showed up after the check in time of 2pm, but one of the rooms was not cleaned up yet and hence not ready, the other room had AC problem and also not ready. We spent 30 minutes in the reception trying to check in.... The room was noisy, after midnight bid noise came from the main door and toilet area basically every hour, waking us up in the middle of the night a few times. First I thought it was someone banging at the door, or a cleaner cleaning in the lift lobby. I opened the door but found nobody. The noise was consistent for the whole 3 nights. Other than the above, the hotel is well located and the price is reasonable. The staff at the reception are basically nice and helpful.
