    No issues

    Lovely cottage with old world charm, so very quiet and peaceful even though location very near to CBD. Rosie was an excellent hostess, making sure we had everything we needed and available if issues. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily stay again when next in Adelaide.

    Great location, well-appointed, super comfy, great shower, great breakfast - loved our stay here in the super quiet Athelney Cottage. We'll be back next time. Lots to see and do nearby. Highly recommend the botanical gardens (and amazing flying fox colony!) plus the Adelaide Zoo both just within cooey.

    Yard was suitable for a small dog but not a large dog so utilised the entire shared area. Let the dogs roam in main area but my dog kept barking at next doors dog and couldnt leave dogs there either in case next door opened the entranceway which is shared. I didn't like leaving my car out in the street but it's a quiet area so probably safe enough.

    Breakfast was a lovely touch having staples such as fresh bread and butter, milk with tea and coffee provisions, as well as cereal, chocolate, and juice. Cottage is beautiful and quite spacious and location is nice and quiet. Host was lovely and understanding when there was a payment mishap and having a parking permit is definitely handy for the 1hr street parking zone.

    The location was fantastic. We took our little dog with us, and there was a doggy door into a secure little yard for her. We walked to Botanical Gardens, visited local wineries and restaurants. Would definitely book to stay there again.

    good location, pet friendly, close to city, comfortable, but not great value.

    The location is advertised as up to 4 people but this was by using camp beds for the 2 kids which is sort of ok, but not clear enough. When booking I had not completed the ages of the children correctly on booking.com so we had to pay an extra $35 per child per night which made no sense as their needs were no different if they were 10 or 17, they still used 1 camp bed and 1 towel etc. So when you add up the cost for 4 ppl in 1 room with 2 on camp beds, it was very expensive for what we were getting. We had an issue with communication relating to tradespeople turing up early on the day we were checking out which accelerated the process for check out.

    The location was good (next to St Peters) and we were able to walk to the park and city and Nth Adelaide and we were able to bring our dog. Off street parking is good with a permit to ensure you do not get any tickets.
