The Apartment

Our apartment has been a labour of love for many years and we are pleased to be able to share it with others. It was our permanent residence until recently, and we now use it as our weekender and holiday apartment.

Great care and attention have gone in to the renovation of this 1960's apartment, including an architect designed interior inspired by contemporary Scandinavian design.

Apartment features

Apart from the carefully chosen design elements, the apartment is light-filled and maximises its North/South orientation. It is part of a quiet and friendly group of 6, with no adjoining walls.

The modern kitchen, dining and lounge is open-plan and features integrated kitchen and lounge room joinery. The kitchen includes a Smeg 6-burner gas cooktop and electric oven, full sized fridge, microwave, toaster, kettle, stove top coffee maker and all of the crockery, glassware and kitchen utensils you will need.

The bedroom features a quality queen-size pillow-top mattress and ample built-in wardrobes for your use.

The contemporary bathroom features quality European and Australian made products with a shower, separate bath and wall-hung toilet.

A private South-facing balcony is available for your use as well a private laundry with washing machine, iron and ironing board. There is also a North-facing balcony, ideal for a relaxing coffee.

A Daikin split system unit for heating and cooling ensures year-round comfort.

Free undercover, off-street, parking for one vehicle is provided and free 24-hour street parking surrounds the property.

Guests have use of all amenities, except for the second bedroom which is used for personal storage and remains locked.

Feel free to message me for any tourist recommendations whether it be for city, beach or surrounding Adelaide wine region advice. We would be happy to help out!

My work: Physical Education Teacher - Secondary
Speaks English
I'm a fun and active person who enjoys traveling the world at every opportunity. As I am a Physical Education teacher I have the luxury of school holidays and I take full advantage of this time to travel. My husband Tim and I live in an apartment in a beach side suburb of Adelaide and are very house proud. Tim is an artist and visual arts educator and we collect art works from our extensive travels. We pride ourselves on keeping our house stylish and clean. We both enjoy great food and finding new and exciting restaurants and cafes where ever we are in the world. Tim and I are independent travelers who like to explore the world and seek out the local art scene in any place that we visit. We like to see what the local people are doing and where they hangout in their city.
