"Sea Retro Getaway" An ideal space for workers and holiday makers alike!
10/10 Excellent
"An incredible property which is an absolute hidden gem. You walk in (to the whole property, including the second apartment) and are transported back to a to a bygone vintage era of the 1940’s/50’s & 60’s. The apartments are far from tacky or gimmicky - they are well put together with the incredible eye of the host who has an amazing collection of artwork (hers & others). What was particularly heartening was the seamless intertwining of vintage/ contemporary & aboriginal and Torres Strait islander works. The pictures do not give the appearance of the areas justice. They would be perfect for Burlesque, Rockabilly, pin up, glamazon, Photos. And around the pool area is an absolute hoot filled with everything to host your own Eurovision Gala. The property is in a fantastic location, quiet off the Main Street, but 300m from the IGA & 5 houses from the beach. You don’t need your car here.It has all the amenities needed, including for cooking etc. There are also an abundance of books, games etc & we enjoyed using the CD player. If you need anything the host is very helpful & responsive. We wanted to do some Art so - supplies were provided. Quite the extra.
Everything is freshly laundered & clean. The property is purposely vintage / retro so don’t expect 2025 new build townhouse. It’s lived in, loved & well scrubbed!
The host was helpful, generous & after we broke (very much our fault) one of the hosts boundaries - she addressed the issue with us with both professionalism grace.

"This was an excellent and comfortable house. The rooms were comfortable, the kitchen was big and well equipped and the living areas were great. One thing to think about is to provide pedestal fans in the bedrooms. They were very hot and there was no air movement during the nights. Sleeping was difficult due to the heat. Adelaide is known for its extended heat waves and fans are needed. The fold out bed was great and we needed it but there was no bedding items/sheets provided. This back room was intensely hot. A fan is needed too.However, we had a great stay and overall the house was great. "
