Secrets of Adelaide
Local Neighbourhood
Often painted as “A big country town”, Adelaide is of course full of secrets – some even surprise long term residents and frequent visitors.
One of my favourite Adelaide secrets lies less than 100m walk from the doors of our Majestic Roof Garden Hotel.
Situated on the ground floor of Rundle St in front of the “Naked” shopping boutique is a small door. A very small door. The catch – the door doesn’t open, and doesn’t go anywhere – it simply entertains those who stop to admire and consider its purpose.
Very few know the true origins of the door and urban legends tell wildly different stories. The leading theory is that the door was part of a series, with 6 matching doors located across Adelaide. If true, sadly these doors have been lost in time to the progress of the city.
Keen to see if you can spot this hidden Adelaide landmark? Or have you already seen the tiny door or even others on visits to Adelaide? Let our friendly front desk team know about your experiences around Adelaide, they’re great for recommendations and full of lots of local knowledge.
