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

You'll all get a seat at the dining table and space to sleep on a real bed. No blowing up air mattresses or sleeping in common areas here. So it's perfect for families travelling together looking for a rejuvenating getaway.
The home has modern, easy clean floating timber floors throughout. So it’s quick and easy to keep things clean and comfortable with the kids around.
There's plenty to keep your kids entertained: toys, colouring ins, puzzles, games, books and for the bigger kids, a wall mounted 50" 4k Smart TV, Playstation Classic (mini) plus unlimited fast Wifi.
Have a nice, home cooked meal and relaxing night in cooking with the whole family.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Home away from home
The home was very clean and suited all our needs. We were there for Gather Round and the property was close to bus links. The kids especially loved the puzzles and foosball table.
Would highly recommend!!

Home away from home.
Our accomodation was 5/5 star quality. We felt right at home from the moment we we stepped into the beautiful cosy home, clean and with all necessities available and in perfect working order.
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.
Next time we are in Adelaide we will most definitely come back to this home in Athelstone.
So grateful to Linda and Keith for their service and top quality care for us during our time in Adelaide.

Lovely home away from home.
Lovely, tidy and clean home. My parents recently came from Melbourne to visit us and they absolutely loved this home. Close to everything and walking distance to local parks and playgrounds, including local shops and cafes. Quiet, leafy suburb with everything you need to make you feel like you are home. Thank you Linda for a wonderfully stay.

Excellent family accommodation and host
We required accommodation in the area at short notice. Linda was very accommodating and the property is modern, clean and well-equipped, suiting our needs perfectly. The host kept in regular contact, replied to queries within a short timeframe and was accommodating and flexible when we needed to extend our stay. Highly recommend.

Clean, tidy and well-provisioned
This house is clean, tidy and was well-provisioned for a 2-week stay with a young family. The property manager was a delight to deal with, very efficient and communicative. Thanks for a wonderful holiday!
