    Bath/shower combo is treacherous. And advertised 2 rooms but we had to share a room with a double and a single bed. Also a steep flight of stairs to carry up luggage so be aware of that.

    Location fantastic. Short walk to beach and restaurants. Cute cottage feel.

    The front yard did not present as it does in the photographs, which was slightly disappointing. (We thought we had arrived at a garage sale). Just needed a tidy up.

    Lovely, comfortable beds. The Attic was very clean and welcoming, the knick knacks were interesting. Kathy was very nice and easy to approach. Good location.

    Lots of clutter, less is best. It's not a clear and easy path way to the stairs with your suitcases.

    The location was great and good for value.

    Not overly accessible, need to pick suitcases up to get to the entrance gate and it’s then a very narrow staircase to get upstairs. The claw bath is also a bit scary. It was quite warm in the living space with only one small fan.

    Great location and a comfortable stay

    Space under the beds needed a good clean, and was used for the owner’s personal storage. Fruit provided was possibly old and very dry. We discerned from previous questions to the owner that there was parking available. However, there was no parking for our car with a bike rack and bikes that we wanted secured. The owner did however offer for us to bring the bikes under her car port.

    Owner was very welcoming, and provided supplies for a continental breakfast. Clean and comfortable beds. Great shower. Washing machine and dryer were available. Lovely old world ambience.

    A chaotic start . We were very surprised to learn that our room wasn't ready even though we arrived at 6.30.pm We had trouble contacting the host as her phone was out of battery .

    Quiet. Lovely apartment. Very nice breakfast . Once we were able to access the apartment Kathy was very helpful

    I didn't realise until I got there that it was shared accommodation with the owner and that it involved a flight of stairs to get up there. It also mentioned a restaurant onsite and swimming pool that we didn't see.

    The place was sparkling clean and very homely with every need catered for. The location was fantastic and we'll definitely be back. Kathy was very welcoming and friendly.

    Only minor grumble was cooking facilities which were limited.Given excellent restaurants nearby this was minor .

    Hosts Kathy and Georgia were friendly,welcoming and helpful.We loved the quirky attic rooms and for two of us (sister and brother)had plenty of space.There are so many personal touches in rooms -it is really interesting and clever use of space.It was lovely to have living flame fire in lounge which was cosy as we travelled in winter.Glenelg has lovely beaches ,restaurants and cafes and we enjoyed lovely walks along promenade in winter sunshine as well as spectacular sunsets.Location was adjacent to my aunt's complex who we were visiting for her 90th birthday celebrations but travel into Adelaide was easy on tram.We also saw International Women's football game in Cooper's stadium and atmosphere was terrific.Aussies are warm and welcoming and public transport excellent again with helpful staff.

    no parking on site, only street parking. we had to carry our bags upstairs, for older people they may find that more difficult.

    the comfort and ease of our checkin and out. plenty of everything, all we needed. great location and property was clean, great value with plenty for breakfast. I’d recommend it, pitty we only had one night.
