Mind you, it is sort of a terminus station, namely because there are some trains that stop here, and that is helpful because it is also a rather short walk down to the beach, making it one of the easiest beaches to get to in Australia as well.

However, I have seen this place change countless times, particularly since they knocked down the old station building top put through a goods line. However, it is also a major interchange, which used to be a park, eons ago. However, while the station is supposed to be staffed, I haven't seen any staff there in ages either.

Levi Park will be on this tour, and there will be a giant statue of me, possibly wearing Speedo's! Levi Park is Grrrrrrrreat! I used to head there on weekends with my family for tennis picnics and to dob the footy with dad. There is a very nice, rustic feel to Levi with a lot to explore for a group of kids while the Adults slog it out or sit back with a box or two of fine wine! In the centre of the caravan park is the old homestead and one of the biggest old fig trees you will ever see. It is well over 100 years old and great for a bit of hide and seek. Also, because it is located on the Torrens River, you can slip out the back and let the kids have a play on the nearby stone bridge. If you're lucky you may even find a yabby or two!

When you think of a caravan park you don't normally think of one being situated within a stone's…read morethrow of a city centre but that is exactly where Levi Park Caravan Park is. In fact this caravan park is just 5 kms or 10 minutes from the heart of Adelaide. This place is great if you've got family or friends coming to visit and no room to put them up at your place. Situated at Vale Park, it's in a pretty ritzy Adelaide suburb but more significantly it backs onto the River Torrens and Linear Park. Now don't think of the stinky old Torrens Lake at Elder Park, this part of the River Torrens is surrounded by natural vegetation, families of ducks and is really very pretty. There's a walking and riding track so packing either your shoes or your wheels for your stay is a must. Levi Park Caravan Park caters for all different kinds of guests. There are spots for caravans and for those who like to camp out in tents, and then there are a range of cabins and villas with all the luxuries of home if you want to get away from it all but still need those extra creature comforts. The amenities too are first rate with BBQ, laundry and shower facilities there for guests to use. The really good thing about it is even though you're staying in a caravan park, you're just out of the city and there's a bus stop right out front so getting around is really easy. To top it all off the grounds at this caravan park are pretty stunning. There's a beautiful old Moreton Bay Fig tree just next to the historic Vale House. The old house has been divided into apartments and you can stay there as well. All in all it's a far cry from my memories of staying in caravan parks as a kid where cold showers and hot caravans were the norm.

In fact, a part of me thought that they were all basically platforms with shelters. However, it probably should surprise me that there are actually some nice stations, especially along the line that heads towards Melbourne namely because these stations existed where there was some development back then. Anyway, this is one of those rather nice stations, and quite old as well. They even keep it in good nick, which is pretty good.

So we try to do something nice and pick a 4 or preferably 5 star hotel to stay in. We hadn't stayed at The Hilton before and it was more expensive than other similar hotels, but with the Hilton brand we expected it to be really good. We spent a similar amount on a King deluxe room as we could have got a nicer room elsewhere (eg: small suite). We got breakfast as well. What was nice. The room was clean with stickers everywhere saying it had been 'Covid cleaned'. The bed was comfy. Temperature control was good and water pressure was great. Concierge were nice and friendly. Took a while for the Honors app digital key to kick in, but that was a nice touch. And when a room a couple of doors down stated playing music so loud it was thumping through ours, they were quick to come up and handle the situation. What could have been better. No robes - we had to call down and they supplied them within 10 minutes with many apologies. No top sheet on the bed. Again, a call downstairs and they fixed that too. Less than one roll of toilet paper supplied - glad we didn't run out, though came close. Room service stops at 10pm - seems a little early for a 5 star hotel. And if we did want anything, well $8.50 for a bottle of water? (There's no mini-bar due to Covid, so room service is your only option if you need something). Their online info says we can use our own subscriptions for Apple TV, Netflix etc but we couldn't find instructions on the TV as stated and by that stage, we were just a little over the whole thing so didn't bother calling for assistance. I'm tech savvy and if I need help to get that working, I wonder how others might fare. And it's a little thing, but I expect the toilet roll holder in a 5 star hotel to be complete, but half of it was missing. It just looks shabby and dated, as if they don't worry much about maintenance. And that's probably a statement of the place as a whole - it's clean, but dated. Breakfast was just a let down. It was obvious they'd been cooking food for a while, as the bacon was dry and chewy, but they hadn't put the tags out to state what was under each of the cloches. And when I came to use the toaster, one of the staff wiped down the knobs and in so doing turned the setting up to charcoal (I think technically it was "dark", but the result was the same). Coffee was served in individual plungers, but they didn't put anywhere near enough coffee in, so the result was so weak it was almost tasteless. And then for some reason they supplied the milk in another coffee mug, so trying to pour inevitably resulted in a pool of milk on the table. These are little things - but they just suggest they're not prepared for their guests. You might excuse one, but after half a dozen issues it's just not 5 star quality. Finally, the parking is a 5 minute walk away and with Covid, no valet service - fair enough. They offered a ticket for a local car park for $25. We declined but ending up parking in the same car park. We paid $8 instead. That's just a rip-off. Summary Charges like a 5 star hotel, but misses the mark. Promised much but delivered little. We won't be back.
