Sponsor Spotlight – The Arkaba Hotel

Posted: February 17, 2023

Established in 1964.
Just like a fine wine, we only get better with age!

In 1991, the iconic Arkaba Hotel was in the hands of receivers, amongst the background of the worst recession since the Second World War. Hotel owners, Peter and Jenny Hurley, had the vision to reinvigorate the run down hotel and after a long wait for approvals from the bank, they finally owned their first Freehold Hotel. Peter’s brother, Tony Hurley took the reins of the bottle shop and has established a remarkable retail liquor business at the site.

With an established reputation for excellence in accommodation, entertainment and function facilities, the Arkaba Hotel represents style and comfort. The Arkaba is a four-star hotel that provides affordable luxury accommodation suites including luxury loft suites, perfect for an indulgent weekend, business trip or family getaway and located only five minutes east of Adelaide’s CBD.

Arkaba Hotel is all-inclusive, exclusively yours offering weekly live entertainment, state-of-the-art function facilities, award winning sports bar, impressive cellars and drive thru, gaming lounge and trendy dining menus with fresh local produce to match the finest wines.

Whether it’s a last minute trip to Adelaide or planning an extended stay, the Arkaba is the perfect venue for all occasions, with everything you need under one roof!

Being a proud South Australian owned and operated business, the Arkaba Hotel love being part of the local community! Through club sponsorships, donations and fundraising, the team at the Arkaba take pride in being involved with local clubs and community groups.

“The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don’t play together, the club won’t be worth a dime.”

Michael Jordan

I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

Bruce Lee

I don’t fear the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks. I fear the man who practiced one kick 10,000 times.

To me, it doesn’t matter how good you are. Sport is all about playing and competing. Whatever you do in Cricket and in sport, enjoy it, be positive and try to win.

Brett Lee

I bowl my best when I am fittest and the best way to get fit is to bowl. That’s how you get your rhythm. You cannot really find a rhythm by bowling in the nets.

I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t Quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.

The great thing in hitting is, not to be half-hearted about it; but when you make up your mind to hit, to do it as if the whole match depended upon that particular stroke.

Mickey Mantle

It’s unbelievable how much you don’t know about the game you’ve been playing all your life.

One man can be a crucial ingredient on a team, but one man cannot make a team.

Cricket, however, has more in it than mere efficiency. There is something called the spirit of cricket, which cannot be defined.

Mike Hussey

Test cricket is bloody hard work, especially when you’ve got Sachin batting with what looks like a three-metre-wide bat.

John Arlott

Cricket is a most precarious profession; it is called a team game but, in fact, no one is so lonely as a batsman facing a bowler supported by ten fieldsmen and observed by two umpires to ensure that his error does not go unpunished.

W G Grace

Every cricketer knows that in the early stages of a batsman’s innings i.e. before he gets his eye in — luck plays an important part.

Sachin Tendulkar

I hate losing and cricket being my first love, once I enter the ground it’s a different zone altogether and that hunger for winning is always there.

Rahul Dravid

My approach to cricket has been reasonably simple: it was about giving everything to the team, it was about playing with dignity and it was about upholding the spirit of the game. I hope I have done some of that. I have failed at times, but I have never stopped trying.
