About Sellicks Hill
Sellicks Hill is a semi-rural locality on South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula, approximately 48 kilometres south of the Adelaide city centre, straddling the City of Onkaparinga and the District Council of Yankalilla. The suburb spans around 46 square kilometres along the Willunga Scarp, offering an elevated rural character with panoramic views towards Gulf St Vincent. With a population of approximately 299 residents, the area supports a quiet, low-density lifestyle with a mix of rural residential holdings and hobby farms.
Sellicks Hill sits in close proximity to Sellicks Beach and the world-renowned McLaren Vale wine region, giving residents easy access to cellar doors, coastal walks, and beach recreation. The Willunga Scarp forms a striking natural backdrop and provides opportunities for bushwalking and scenic drives. The area is predominantly car-dependent, with Adelaide Metro bus services very limited; most residents commute by private vehicle along the Southern Expressway. It appeals to those seeking a rural lifestyle within reach of both Adelaide's southern suburbs and the Fleurieu Peninsula's celebrated food and wine scene.
Sellicks Hill falls under postcode 5174 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Mawson electorate.
