Sea Change @ Brighton
2 min walk to beautiful Brighton Beach or Jetty Rd cafes
Our holiday home "Sea Change" is literally steps from the smooth sands and swimming at Brighton Beach. It's a top location, quiet in the house but so close to the heart of Brighton. Jetty Road shops and cafes, The Esplanade Hotel, jetty, Cinema, train station, bus stops and supermarkets are all close at hand. The boat ramp and Seacliff Yacht Club are a few minutes drive away. Adelaide Aquatic Centre is less than a 5 minute drive. We are close enough to the city for an easy commute (20 mins on the Express train) if still at work, while the rest of the family is on holiday. Off road car parking is available for 2 cars, or a car and a boat in a secure garage on site.
One or two couples, or a family with older children can relax in style in our fully self-contained home. Sea Change is a maisonette built in the 1930s by two brothers who lived next door to each other in harmony for many years. Because we share a wall with our neighbour, and wish to maintain this harmony, we cater primarily for adults but will accept a family with well behaved teenagers or children over school age.(5 years plus.)
Adelaide International and Domestic Airport is approximately 25 mins drive away. If arriving from interstate, please let us know if you require early check in or late checkout, or bag storage as arrangements can be made if other bookings permit.
Sea Change is set up with 2 Queen size beds and a third bedroom with 2 single beds. Quality mattresses and linen (and electric blankets in winter) will ensure you have a restful sleep, and some nights you can even hear the waves. Bedrooms are also provided with ceiling fans and ceramic heaters.
The living area is open plan with LCD TV, comfy leather lounges, DVDs, games and books to entertain you away from the beach. We provide free Wi-Fi. There is reverse cycle heating & cooling, a ceiling fan, and screened French doors for comfort. The kitchen has a dishwasher, gas stove and everything you need for cooking and meals, but you are also really spoilt for choice with all the local eateries and takeaways close by. Our light and airy living area opens to a private vine covered outdoor area with a BBQ for your use.
The large two way bathroom has a full sized bath as well as a separate shower, and there is also an outdoor shower for rinsing sandy feet after a swim. We also provide you with a fully equipped laundry with a dryer for rainy days. Sea Change is a peaceful place to stay, not a party house, but a place to de-stress, notice the ever changing sea and sky and get a bit of sun and salt on your skin. You can also relax on the front porch overlooking our coastal garden before strolling down to swim, watch the sunset, or have a coffee or meal at the choice of cafes and restaurants in easy walking distance. The pace picks up a bit on weekends as our beach is popular both summer and winter with locals and visitors.
Sea Change makes a great base for beach weddings, National swimming titles at the SA Aquatic Centre , major Surf Carnivals (Brighton & Seacliff clubs) and sailing regattas out of Seacliff. Adelaide city centre is approximately 30 mins. drive or a train or bus ride away and hosts many events during the year including the Cabaret Festival, The Fringe, SALA art exhibitions, Exhibitions at the Art Gallery of SA, Tour Down Under, The Clipsal 500, and the Adelaide Royal Show to name a few. See below for more events.

Paul communicated really well from the start, was friendly, patient & helpful. Very convenient location, only a short walk to cafes & restaurants. Home had a comfortable "lived in" feel.
This was an excellent location for 3 generations of our family to spend time together; it has everything which is needed if you want to stay in, and the beach at the end of the street if you want to go out!
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Sea Change.
Location is perfect and walking distance to beach, restaurants and shops.
We highly recommend Sea Change and will stay here again when we return to Adelaide.

Hi Rebecca, thanks for the great review and know that you guys are always welcome.
Cheers Paul
Fantastic beach house, extremely clean and has everything you need. Perfect location for a beach getaway and a few minutes walk to a bustling precinct with delicious food and coffee and homewares shops to wander through.
The host was lovely, he lives just across the street, however kept mostly to himself apart from alerting that the neighbour with adjoining wall wasn’t happy with our laughter in the evening. I would probably recommend this home for families with introverted teens, I think mine were too vocally happy, we still made the most of it. House was clean, beach is just down the road, as is the main road with many cafe's to choose from.Bath was lovely and big one of our highlights apart from the beach.

We enjoyed a great stay. The location was excellent with a very short walk to the beach. The accomodation for our family, 5 adults, worked really well and we appreciated the off street parking at the back of the property. Paul was very responsive and attentive to our requests over the 2 week stay.

Thank you Colin. It was a pleasure to accommodate you and your family through the festive season. We are pleased that you had such a great stay. Thank you for leaving the house so tidy. This was much appreciated, especially as we often have same day turn overs at this time of year. All the best for 2021, and we look forward to seeing you again. Paul
A wonderful stay in a well maintained property. Quietly situated, away from the busy beach front, but only a very short and stunning walk down to beach. We all enjoyed a very restful and comfortable stay. The owner Paul was fantastic to deal with. Would highly recommend a stay here.

The other reviews are accurate: great house in excellent location
An older house, v comfortable, 2 min walk to Brighton beach & cafes; easy access to downtown Adelaide. Paul, the host, could not have been more helpful or friendly. An easy "highly recommended".
