Driving to Gather Round 2026? Stay at Durham Serviced Apartments

If you’re planning a road trip to Gather Round 2026, locking in accommodation early (with the option to add parking) can make the whole weekend feel a lot easier - especially once Adelaide gets busy with match-day traffic and events.

Gather Round 2026 runs from Thursday, 9 April to Sunday, 12 April 2026.

Why driving for Gather Round is a great move

Driving gives you flexibility across a packed weekend—whether you’re doing a couple of games, meeting friends, or exploring beyond the CBD between matches. It also makes it easier to manage luggage, supporter gear, and your own schedule (especially if you’re travelling as a group or family).

The key is picking a base that feels simple: easy to come and go, comfortable to reset between games, and with parking available.
