About this property
Violet Cottage—An Idyllic Urban Oasis for Two
Nestled in the beautiful inner-city suburb of Parkside, this lovely cottage combines ornate character details with all the modern conveniences designed for both business and leisure. It sits right on the border of Adelaide Park Lands, less than a 15-minute walk to the Himeji Garden and a five-minute drive into the city's heart. Keep cosy by the indoor fireplace or dine alfresco during summer. You’ll enjoy a full kitchen, dedicated office and laundry facilities for your daily convenience.
A lovely year-round retreat awaits you at this character cottage in the heart of Parkside. Brimming with charm, it benefits from a peaceful, leafy address while still enjoying proximity to the bustle of the CBD. On the front porch, bench seating encourages mornings out in the fresh air, perhaps over your first coffee or a good book.
Stepping inside, the living room keeps things cosy with a gas log fireplace along with a smart TV for movie nights at home. Adjoining the living room, the sunroom has been set up as a dedicated office with a desk and monitor, perfect for those working from home. Moving on to the kitchen, it comes well-equipped to prepare meals. There are modern appliances and cooking utensils, including a coffee pod machine. Sit down at the dining table or head out into the garden. Sliding doors create a seamless transition between the indoors and out, while air-conditioning keeps things cool during summer.
Get a good night’s sleep in the comfortable queen-sized bed. It comes set with side tables and reading lights, and you’ll find plenty of storage space for your belongings. The classic-style bathroom highlights both a bathtub and shower, with complimentary toiletries to get you started. Laundry facilities add to your everyday convenience. Those travelling with kids can make use of family-friendly amenities, such as a travel cot and high chair.
Street parking is available.
During your stay, you and your group will have the entire cottage to yourselves. Please make yourselves at home!
The fashionable city-fringe suburb of Parkside is bounded by the beautiful Adelaide Park Lands and is known for its character-filled homes and vibrant village atmosphere. It’s an easy stroll to the city, and renowned attractions such as Adelaide Central Market, Himeji Garden and Adelaide Zoo, with walking and cycling paths aplenty. Explore King William and Unley Roads lined with foodie hotspots, independent fashion and homeware boutiques. Try Pickle in the Middle, STH Restaurant and Bricks & Stones. While visiting Adelaide, don’t miss the cultural hub of Plant 4 Bowden as well as the Art Gallery of South Australia and a visit to Glenelg Beach.
Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.
For stays longer than 21 nights, an additional cleaning fee will apply. You may enquire about pricing before booking, or the fee will be quoted and charged after booking. Alternatively, we can offer mid-stay professional cleans, including fresh linen — please enquire for pricing.
