It’s the perfect spot to explore all of Adelaide and the surrounding towns. It’s a quiet and quaint neighborhood. The botanical garden is amazing and the art gallery is close by too. Lots of places to explore.
Lovely fresh cottage in superb location with car parking
This property is a heritage cottage. It felt fresh and clean and newly painted. Two lovely bedrooms, comfortable lounge/ sitting and convenient kitchen. Efficient AC which is important in Adelaide summer. The over bath shower could be problem for some folks.

Maintenance needed.
Location was great, accommodation as stated, but in need of upkeep and maintenance. Attraction of off-street parking was made difficult because of mal-functioning of garage door.
Lovely, great location. Property very clean with plenty of kitchen items so you can cater for yourself. Very close to the Original Coopers Ale House, with very good meals.

Stunning location. Terrible maintenance and minimal items to utilise. Garage had weeds higher than my car which suggested lack of any maintenance and the host never replied to any messages. We travel all the time and were seeking a go-to for each trip to Adelaide. Stunning spot and great price, yet hosting was almost nil.
Location is great, walkable to cafes etc. Heritage house is lovely, modern decor.
Still waiting to hear back re: how to use the heating.
You have to be careful not to lock yourself out of this one as one locks backydoor from the inside and front door locks itself. And the management are unresponsive.

Excellent Property
Gorgeous heritage cottage. Very neat and tidy. Lovely comfortable beds. Location was perfect, within walking distance of many cafes and the city. Took our bicycles and had easy access to numerous bike paths. Nice light kitchen with everything we needed, including a built in water filter. Parking was tight, but we managed to fit our Prado in. Booked our getaway in winter and while the cottage was cool, there were lots of lovely big warm blankets to snuggle under. Owners were very accommodating. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

4/5 Stars - girls weekend in Adelaide
The house was clean despite the mouldy rank smell, kitchen was a bit lacking in supplies and sink in the bathroom was difficult to use. This is definitely a rental only property so don’t expect the amenities a home would have! We were unable to get any response from the host on the day of check-in until the 10th phone call. We also had to reach out to Home Away for their assistance as well. Don’t expect anything Luxury about this booking experience!
Overall the house was fine, and I would probably stay there again if I had to, just because the location was convenient. If you just need somewhere to crash, it is a good spot! Just wanted to share those details for other guests to have a bit more of a dose of reality going into it. Don’t expect to hear from the host or have easy access to entry.

Good location, gorgeous house, but disappointed
We stayed for 3 nights at the property, and found it immaculate, laid out beautifully, beds very comfortable and a fantastic location.
We were unfortunately disappointed in a few areas:
When trying to add the third night stay, we struggled to receive feedback from the owners until the additional charge was made to our credit card. When the charge came through for the 3rd night, we also were charged an additional $90 'cleaning fee' above the quoted rates - which was not detailed or quoted at any point. When trying to seek clarification from the owners we again had no response - and ended up resigning to the additional charge without explanation.
Staple items in the house like toilet paper and tissues had not been restocked, and we had to purchase these items on our first nights stay.
Again, property was stunning, fantastic location - but just a few frustrating aspects which detracted from our stay.
The other reviews suggest that this may have been an anomaly and we just booked at a bad time?
The property was in a great location and didn't want for much. Just around the corner are restaurants, coffee shops and very friendly people. Free bus to the main part of Adelaide around the corner also. It was a bright and cheery property and very comfortable.
Great ... all mod cons, well appointed really lovely experience. Rebecca is very accommodating and good communicator ... my sister and I recommend a meal at Street Scene and Raj on Taj during your warm welcoming stay.
The property is in the old part of Adelaide very close to the city and some good eating spots and bars. The beds were super comfy and the air-conditioning was well appreciated due to the 42 degree heat. The main thing that would not bring me back to this property is the car parking at the back is very hard to get into and out of and is the only option outside of 1 hour parks on the street.
I loved this area of restored heritage homes and flowered boulevards.
This property is larger than expected, has high ceilings and is very bright with the large windows. It is updated and clean-great bathroom. The parking space was really appreciated even though it's a little tight when exiting.
It is a shock though to only have instant coffee provided! I never realized that this is the norm in the Australian rental units as I have never come across this in all my travels across Canada, USA, Europe etc. It would be nice to see some coffee machines in the accommodations. Who drinks instant coffee?? Other than that, this is a lovely accommodation.
Very comfortable stay with easy access to all city attractions. Although we used our car to drive to beaches, our favourite activity was the free bike hire (easy walk to Bike SA store) as we rode along the parks parallel to Hutt St all the way up to Botanic gardens, then on to the zoo and cricket ground. House is very quiet, clean and has all the amenities for an enjoyable stay.
