The Queen Room-Feel at home. Spacious home & pool.

Welcome! Just South of Adelaide and a 2-minute drive to Seacliff Beach, my home is perfect for backpackers & travellers. Located in a quiet family neighbourhood, surrounded by Glenthorne National Park with bike tracks, walking trails & great views of the city. Visit vibrant Jetty Road with great cafes, nearby Glenelg, 5 minutes drive to Marion Shopping Centre, Flinders University & Hospital. Close by the Fleurieu Peninsula with all its beaches & the beautiful wine region, McLaren Vale. The space Easy-going and relaxed atmosphere. A friendly, welcoming space with a homely vibe! I have been hosting back-packers and students for a while now and strive to ensure my guests have everything they need for a wonderful stay and, truly, feel at home. I'm a homeowner and quite house-proud. My home is fun, interesting, and personal, filled with an eclectic mix of paintings, art, and objects collected from my travels. You won't find sterile white walls or a pristine anonymous hotel here! Large deck to relax and unwind, with views to Seacliff beach & stunning sunsets. Laze in the hammock or punch out a session on the boxing bag! Lovely outdoor area out the back with BBQ & swimming pool to enjoy in summer or warm yourself by the wood fire in winter. Explore bike tracks & walking trails through the adjacent Glenthorne National Park. The kitchen is well equipped with a retro touch, and you are most welcome to help yourself to what you need. Enjoy seasonal home-grown fruit, veggies, and herbs from the garden. Guests may help themselves to breakfast - Toast, homemade jam & happy eggs when available. Variety of Coffee or Tea & freshly squeezed Orange juice in winter. Happy for guests to make themselves comfortable and make use of the kitchen, lounge, pool & other facilities. You are welcome to use the wash machine to do your laundry, although (regrettably due to people taking advantage), I do ask if you could please limit this to one - two loads per week. I also ask that you please be conscious of water usage, try to keep showers to a minimum, and turn off lights you are not using. Basic common sense, please! Keep yourself entertained with books, board games, and jigsaw puzzles. Bedrooms are private, with secure locks. I have two rooms to choose from, the other has a single bed & trundle underneath, so please check out my other listing. Guest rooms are adjacent & guests share a bathroom between themselves. The bathroom contains a spa bath. You are most welcome to relax and soak in the tub! I encourage guests to be independent, help themselves, and make themselves at home, though I am more than happy to share recommendations & advice if you require. If you would like to, please feel free to ask me whom else will be staying in the house during your stay. :-) Guest access *Enjoy all aspects of the house except private bedrooms & my office. *Please be aware that there is a private fully-self contained Granny flat beneath the house. I have a long term quiet tenant residing there whom keeps to herself. the adjacent car park and small courtyard space is also reserved for this tenant. *The downstairs garage is locked though please ask if you require to borrow any tools. During your stay Happy for guests to make themselves at home and enjoy using the kitchen, lounge, pool and other facilities. Respectful of privacy, though happy to provide local knowledge and advice.
