Athelstone is a beautiful, leafy suburb. If you love nature, but still want the convenience of being close enough to modern conveniences, this is the perfect area for you.

Very popular with local families. It is located approximately 10km North East of Adelaide CBD and is close to so many places and things to do.

There are plenty of shops within a 5 minute drive and many choices for delicious food and coffee.

For a nature walk, Black Hill conservation park is only a 4 minute drive up the road. The famous Morialta Falls and huge, new nature playground is also only 8 mins away. Thorndon Park with it's big ovals, BBQ areas, large outdoor chess set, water reservoir, playground and birdlife including ducks, water hens and some times the occasional goose is only 4mins drive down the road.

Drive 20 minutes up Gorge road and you'll be completely surrounded by nature and many people-friendly animals at the Gorge Wildlife Park. The kids will love hand feeding and patting the animals!

The famous Barossa Valley is also only a 45 minute drive!

And if you fancy a visit to the beach, Semaphore Beach is only about half an hour away.

If you like golf, the local Lochiel Park Golf at Geoff Heath Par 3 course down the road is very convenient.

You will have the entire house, backyard and garage to enjoy, apart from the cleaner's cupboard in the back hall, which will be locked. Guest cleaning supplies are under the kitchen sink and in the laundry cupboards, which you're welcome to use.

There’s enough space to easily park 2 cars on the paving out the front of the house. There’s also a single garage with a roller door with remote control you can access.

For larger vehicles like caravans and boats, there is also free, untimed street parking nearby. All parking is at your own risk. So please ensure you have adequate insurance and take usual protective measures such as locking your vehicle and covering valuables etc.

The driveway up to the house is shared, so please ensure your vehicle(s) do not encroach or block the driveway. Thanks.

This is a beautiful, spacious (bigger than most other 3 bedroom homes) family & worker friendly home. It's in the most serene location surrounded by trees & birds down the end of a quiet no-through street.
*It has not one, but 2x Work desk set ups
*3 off-street car parking spaces: 1 single garage with remote control + 2 open air spaces (no height restrictions) on the paved area in front of the house/garage

A starter supply of basic consumables is provided.

Coffee, anyone? There's a Nespresso coffee pod machine you can use during your stay. So be sure to bring your favourite flavour of pods along. We’ve got a jar at the house to help get you started. There's also plenty of cafes nearby that do great coffee, so don't worry, your caffeine fix is never too far away! Some of the local cafes even do their own coffee blends in a Nespresso compatible pod so you can bring the cafe flavours home. Super handy when you feel like a cup in your pyjamas.

We know you'll appreciate the house & linen being thoroughly cleaned in-between each and every booking. It takes hours to properly prepare the home to a high standard. The cleaning fee ensures it can be done on a sustainable basis.

No need to bring your entire wardrobe to make it through your Adelaide stay! There’s a front load washing machine you’re welcome to use to freshen up your clothes and linen as needed. We even provide a starter supply of laundry liquid for your convenience. During warmer weather, there's a clothes line out the back where your clothes will dry so quick.

The house is very comfortable and easy to stay at with lots of thoughtful touches. It was lovely and clean and a great kitchen. We did not have kids but noticed the cot, high chair, and kids books/activities. The supermarket and post office are very close and convenient. National Park is nearby but we did not go as busy with family. On previous visits to Athelstone we have enjoyed hiking in the park and saw koalas.

Cleanliness was disappointing and odor of oily food persisted in the kitchen and entryway. Furniture in good shape and beds were comfortable, but floor had many several gaps in the boards and foosball table was nearly unusable. Host was very helpful and communication was great. Clear instructions for check-in and check-out.

Athelstone Stay

V clean, good facilities, handy location. Bit of trouble with the wi-fi, sounds like a new modern may be required. Barbecue would be a nice addition but overall self-catering was well provided for.

Response from VrboOwner on 9 October 2024
Thanks Peter, nice to hear you enjoyed the home amenities and location. Apologies again for the wifi issue. The NBN technician was out at the property first thing the next morning and fixed it. It was an NBN infrastructure problem out of our control (not our modem). We actually used to have a BBQ at the house but after it getting damaged multiple times by previous guests, we can no longer justify providing one. Thorndon Park just down the road has multiple public BBQ facilities you're welcome to use. There's also a lovely big playground, large chess set, ovals and a lake to enjoy while you're there. 😊☀️Best wishes, Linda, Celestia Homes.

Linda is an outstanding host, prompt to reply to any questions and flexible to extend our stay when we were finding it difficult to to leave beautiful Adelaide.

Not as described on Stayz platform

We did not enjoy our stay as much as anticipated because I booked the property specifically because it was shown to have a pool, listed in the amenities on the Stayz platform. My two grandchildren were very disappointed that this was not the case. Linda was helpful and the error has now been corrected. However, Stayz has not contacted me regarding my complaint even though I have been issued a case number by their support team.To sum up I have no issue with the property but I am not at all satisfied with Stayz lack of response.
Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 10 May 2024
Thank you Glynis. Again, my sincere apologies for the error by the booking platform Stayz/vrbo. We've never had a pool and do not mention one in our description or photos. Unfortunately we have no control over the Stayz/vrbo system. We did our best to help you out and also provided you a prompt partial refund out of our own pocket so that you could take your grand children to the local aquatic and recreation centre nearby, so they did not have to miss out on any aquatic fun. I'm sorry the Stayz/vrbo customer service has let us down in not following up with you promptly. But I'm glad you did not have any problems with our place in itself and I was able to personally help you have a better stay. Future guests, if you have any special requirements or specific amenities you're after, please review the full listing description and photos and double check with us so we can help make sure the home will be suitable for your needs before booking. We sincerely care about our guests' experience and want you to have a lovely time. Best wishes, Linda & family, Celestia Homes - specialising in family and worker friendly stays in Adelaide, SA.
