   Selecting your preference for one of the following vouchers: 
   
   
2. $100 accommodation voucher (minimum one night stay); OR

Here’s what you’ll need to do if you’re hoping to win both an experience and accommodation voucher:  

If you would like to register for a $100 experience voucher, you will need to select a $100 experience voucher and then select your preference of a $100 accommodation voucher, $200 accommodation voucher or a $500 accommodation voucher.  

What if I’d only like to register for an experience voucher?  

If you would like to register for a $100 experience voucher only, then you will need to select the $100 experience voucher and then select ‘I do not want an accommodation voucher’. 

What if I’d only like to register for an accommodation voucher? 

If you’d like to register for an accommodation voucher only, then you will need to select the $100 accommodation, $200 accommodation or $500 accommodation voucher, and then select ‘I do not want an experience voucher’.  

Registering for vouchers you’re interested in and excited to use means more vouchers can go to those eager to support South Australia’s coastal regions. 

Yes – a redraw has been introduced for Round 2 of the Coast is Calling Travel Voucher Program and will be taking place on Thursday 22 January 2026, with a booking period of Thursday 22 January 2026 to 4.00pm (ACDT) Thursday 19 February 2026.  

Those who registered during the ballot period, between 9am (ADST) on Monday 1 December 2025 until 4.00pm (ACDT) Wednesday 3 December 2025 and are unsuccessful in one or more of their voucher selections, will automatically be included in the redraw for that particular category.  

If you were lucky enough to win a voucher in the first draw but did not redeem your voucher in the first draw booking period from Thursday 4 December to 4.00pm (ACDT) Monday 19 January 2026, you will not be eligible to receive that same voucher in the redraw. Vouchers expire at the end of the booking period, so we encourage you to diarise those dates! 

No – those who were unsuccessful in winning one or more of their voucher selections during the first draw, announced on Thursday 4 December 2025, will automatically be included in the redraw. Please note that you will only be included in the redraw for any voucher category/ies that you selected and were unsuccessful in. 

For example, if you entered the ballot between 1 – 3 December 2025 for a $100 experience and $100 accommodation voucher and once the ballot was drawn on Thursday 4 December, you were notified you were only successful in winning the $100 accommodation voucher only, then you’d automatically be included in the redraw to win a $100 experience voucher, as you were unsuccessful in winning that voucher in the first draw.  

If you were unsuccessful in winning both your selections, then you’d be automatically be entered into the redraw for both of your voucher preferences or, alternatively, if you were successful in both of your voucher selections in the first draw, you would not be eligible to be entered into the second chance draw.  

If you are successful in the first draw, you will be notified by email and/or SMS on the date of the draw, Thursday 4 December 2025.  

If you are successful in the redraw, you will be notified via email and/or SMS on the date of the draw, Thursday 22 January 2026.  

Some tourism operators will have a ‘from’ price to indicate the starting price for their experience or accommodation. This is because prices can vary based on factors such as peak and off-peak pricing, seasonality and availability. 

We recommend reviewing all tourism operator information and pricing provided to ensure the experience or accommodation is what you’re looking for and wanting to book in. 

The ballot is designed to accept only one registration per person, per voucher round.  

If you entered the ballot for Round one of the Coast is Calling Voucher Program which ran in September 2025, you can also enter the ballot for Round two, which is a separate ballot.
