The two bedroom apartment was inviting because of lots of light and roomy, excellent location and Linda was a reliable and attentive host. Even though on a busy street it was perfectly quiet inside.

Stayed at this property due to the proximity to the Adelaide oval. Location was perfect. Just outside the hustle and bustle but close enough to walk. Very easy check in/check out process and property manager was very accommodating in making sure we had everything we needed.

Stayed here for 3 nights with my husband and 6yo and 4yo. Great location. Clean,comfy bed . Kids loved the Atari as we had a rainy day. Close to restraints, 7/11 with shopping essentials. Great easy informative information step by step for check in and check out and also to the free transport services around. I had a query before going about the apartment, Linda was quick to respond which was great. Only downfall was we couldn't find a grater in the kitchen. But that most definitely did not affect our stay. Would highly recommend 👌

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Rheanna! Glad your family had a great stay and enjoyed the local amenities. 😊 Thanks for letting me know about the grater. I have added one to the kitchen for future guests. All the best! I hope to host you again next time ❤
Great location, great secure parking and property was clean and tidy. Only downside was the nose that was heard with any use of running water, this was pretty loud and with a child we were restricted to only using the water throughout the day or in short increments due to the noise waking up my child. Also the noise from the above apartments could be heard quite clear, with several nights of being kept awake from hearing them walking around and flushing their toilet as their pipe work could be hear from the apartment to… this was obviously out of anyone’s control but did contribute to not enjoying our stay during the night’s as much as we’d hoped.

We have a range of homes available in Adelaide from small units to full sized spacious standalone houses with private backyards that may suit you better. Future guests, please let us know what you'd prefer when booking and we'll do our best to match you to the home to best suit your needs. 😊Best wishes, Linda and family, Celestia Homes.
Slight issue upon checking in with bedding only for 4, not the 5 we booked for but was sorted without any hassles and very quickly. Great location and easy access.

Thank you Campbell. Glad we were able to help you out and give your family a 5 star experience overall. 😊👍
This property was perfect for our young family. We stayed post surgery at the WCH. It was walking distance to the hospital chemist, playgrounds, zoo and a convenience store. The apartment had everything we needed. Linda was great at accommodating us when we unexpectedly needed to extend our stay, We couldn't have been more greatful for her kind hospitality.

Thanks for the 5 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review Adele! Was a pleasure to host your family. Glad my place served you well as a home away from home. Sorry your review comment seems to have been cut off. You must've been referring to the gated, secure, allocated parking spot that is also included as part of the property. 😊
Great place for us to stay for a week while my son was recovering from surgery! Awesome little apartment perfect position with a small grocery shop close by and pharmacy down the road!!! Was very comfortable.
