Perfect little house for the weekend. My partner didn’t like the mattress found it hard but other than that it had everything we needed during our stay

Hi Ashley, thank you for your review. I am so pleased you enjoyed the house, but am so sorry about the bed. We have just found out the issue, the bed is a memory foam mattress and it has two sides, but only the one side is for sleeping on and unfortunately when the mattress protector was changed the bed was put back on the bed the wrong side up, I am so sorry this will not happen again and thank you for bringing it to our attention. Kind regards Sian

We ( a family of four from Sweden)stayed in this great property four weeks. Perfect location with walking distance to lovely Glenelg and the beaches. Newly renovated in a modern and stylish way. Very clean and fresh. Equipped with everything needed and the lovely owners had even put in a Christmas tree for us for the holidays and a Christmas hamper :) We would love to stay here again

Delightful Marina Retreat

What a beautiful house to spend a leisurely week's holiday. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this delightful home away from home. Everything you could possibly need was thoughtfully provided, the delicious chocolates and local wine on arrival, the great coffee machine and so many other items... all very much appreciated. The house is spotlessly clean, spacious and beautifully renovated with all modern bathroom, kitchen and dinning. So many areas to relax, the various living rooms or the outside BBQ and garden areas. It was a pleasure to stay here, thank you Sian and Steve for making us feel so welcome in your "Marina Retreat".

Relaxing getaway home

My fiancé and I stayed with a few others in this home for just over a week. We found it to be a great choice because of its location and recent renovations. It was only 10min from Adelaide Airport, 15min from the city and 15min from the south. The timber finishes gave it a warm feel while the high ceilings gave us freedom to relax. The backyard was perfect for our afternoon dinners and was an extra to this spacious home. Overall I feel this furnished home was definitely a value for money home and definitely will recommend to others.

Week over Christmas

A lot of separated little living spaces make the house very suited to a group which spend time in the house. Well fitted out. The owners have put thought into ensuring that different groups' needs are met. Only thing missing was internet. I guess that is becoming less important with smartphones.
