When is the best time to go to St Kilda?

The best time to go to St Kilda is during the summer months, from December to February, or the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May). Summer in St Kilda brings warm, sunny weather, great for enjoying the beach and outdoor activities. The average temperature is around 25-30°C, making it ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and watersports. This is also when the foreshore and local eateries are at their most active, with a lively option. For those who prefer slightly milder temperatures and fewer crowds, the shoulder seasons are an excellent choice. Spring offers pleasant weather, with temperatures ranging from 20-25°C, and the gardens are in full bloom. Autumn provides similar comfortable conditions, often with clear skies and a gentle warmth, great for leisurely strolls along the Esplanade or exploring the local markets.

Top St Kilda Hotel Reviews

Tryp Adelaide by Wyndham

8/10 Good

"Exceptional Value for money. Only downfall for the Property is Quality of Room service. Tastless and dessert was not Biscoff Gelato Tasted like Cheese Cake"

Atura Adelaide Airport

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is RIGHT at the airport. I had an early morning flight, so booked this hotel to stay at the night before. When I got up the next morning, I didn't even need to leave the building, because they have a direct entrance into the airport. I wish all airports were set up for convenience like this!"

Holiday Inn Express Adelaide City Centre by IHG

8/10 Good

"Handy to Adelaide bus station and nearby pubs and cafe's. Good standard of accommodation once you're familiar with the toilet/bathroom situation, however the soundproofing from that amenity leaves a fair bit to be desired. Perfectly fine for one person."
