We have two properties Thorn Park in the City, located in inner city Adelaide, South Australia and Thorn Park on the Island, located on South Australia’s pristine Kangaroo Island.

Our third property, Thorn Park by the vines closed in October 2020, and has been sold as a private residence. For 35 years Thorn Park by the vines was one of Australia’s most celebrated luxury boutique hotels.
