We found location and keys easily. The beds were really comfortable and we couldn't hear any traffic noise. Location is perfect, walked everywhere. Would love to stay longer, maybe another time.
Cant say enough about this place, was great accommodation, easily fit the 7 of us, and fantastic locationProperty management was excellent to communicate withThankyou very much
Everything was as presented in the online description. It was great having the area of lawn and the secure parking in the backyard for two cars. It has several cafes and restaurants within a few minutes walking. The beach is easy walk away. Kitchen,bathrooms and laundry were excellent. Would happily go back on our next visit to Adelaide.
Travelling with 4 adults and three children under 10 this property gave us ample space and excellent facilities all in very close proximity to the picturesque jetty road.
This is a lovely huge old house in a great location. Very close walk to restaurants, tram stops and all that Jetty Rd has to offer. Would definitely stay again.
Great house, plenty of room for a girls weekend.
Location is perfect close to all shops and restaurants,. It is the second time we have stayed at this house and would thoroughly recommend it.
The house was perfectly located right next to the Main Street in Glenelg and allowed us to walk anywhere we wanted to go. The house itself was clean, spacious and well equipped. We had a great holiday!
Very spacious and met our needs for 5 beds. 2 bathrooms were great. Well equipped kitchen. Great location with restaurants easy walking distance. Off street secure parking great.

Lovely place. Well equipped. Near shops and beach. Extra bonus our little dog was welcome too. He loved it and the walks as well. Good to have a big house to fit us all in.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Excellent location, spotless and warm.
Totally appropriate for our needs, warm, clean and comfortable beds and good to come home to sleep, but wouldn't want to spend all day there - very dark. Some issues with showers and safety of gate during storm - tried to send information to host but log in process made it impossible.
Was by far the best house we stayed in. we a couple issues. We could not seem to get the wi fi working. The bad part of that was we were doing administration stuff. The good thing the kids actually played outside and not watched tv or played with computer games. We took the kids on the tram which was in walking distance, being kids from a remote area that does not have public transport was cery exciting for them. None of the children had ever been on a tram before. The house was very large.it waa beautiful . and airy even on the hottest day. The main issue was that one of the bedrooms wasnt aircondifioned so we needed fans.
We enjoyed eating out side and the kids enjoyed the freedom of having areas to play, plWehlawnanplayarea.
