About this property

Chooks Paradise - located at Adelaide North

All are welcome to stay at Chooks Paradise for 2 nights minimum if you are able to bring your own linen or sleeping bags. Pillows, pillowslips, towels and blankets will still be provided. If staying longer than 2 nights, all manchester will be provided.
The bathroom has had a bit of an up-grade, and the bath has been removed, due to dodgy old pipes, so from March of 2023, there is no bathroom, only a shower room.
Close to the CBD in Gilles Plains, this two bedroom house comfortably accommodates 2 people. There are 3 x single beds, and therefore I would accept bookings for 3 x people, but it will be cramped, so please take on board this info.
A small timber framed house with basic accommodation. One step up from camping.
Pets most welcome. It has a back yard which is suitable for your dog to frolic.
Please note - as the name suggests, this is a Paradise for chickens, not for people. However, the chickens have all now passed into the big chook heaven, all from old age.
This is a small, old, tatty, dilapidated house - the dogs who stay, all give great reviews, and the owners of these dogs should all be aware that they are booking this place for their beloved pets, not for a magical experience for themselves.
Located in a quiet street within walking distance to the bus and Gilles Plains Shopping Centre, where there is an Aldi supermarket, and also Woolies.
5km to the major shopping centre of Tea Tree Plaza.
Would suit people who have appointments in Adelaide, eg. Modbury Hospital, Adelaide CBD, Family Reunions, Shopping, Sporting Events at Adelaide Oval, Pop Concerts, etc.. Half an hour's drive to the closest beach.

BEWARE!!! Property & owner unworkable

Should be called Hoarders paradise. This property is old which is fine for a short stay however the owner fails to add that the house has only single beds, the power goes off because I can only assume the wiring is dodgy and the rooms at floor to ceiling high with “stuff”. We were staying 14 days and cancelled after 4 days to vacate the 9th day owner has refused to refund, refused to answer our calls. Stayz have said they can’t help.

Great Place

It was a really neat and tidy house and the owners were lovely and kind to my family, the best part about it was how they made my dog feel welcome and a comfortable place to live. Looking forward to visiting Adelaide again.

Pups trip

The owner was lovely and our 2 fur babies just adored her place. We were in Adelaide to watch our grandkids in a basketball comp and we don't like to leave our dogs but when we got back they were just so chilled and happy . So the place is just perfect if you are travelling with animals then chooks paradise is the right place. Thanks for a safe and happy stay. Regards Rhonda 🙂 Lilly and sweetpea said Ty woof.woof

Old but Comfy

If your not looking for luxury then this will suit. Bathroom was nice, beds comfy, everything you need and more for cooking ECT. No double bed though. Value for money. Had a nice stay and would go back again.

Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024

About the host

Hosted by Lisette Struthers

I attended St. Peter's Collegiate Girls School. I then worked as a secretary for several years and after that, as a nanny. I also dog sit and cat sit while the owners are away on holiday.
I am a fervent supporter of Animal Welfare, and have volunteered in the past for the Animal Welfare League, the RSPCA, Free the Bears and the Orangutan Project. My annual donations are sent to Four Paws, Animals Asia and Animals Australia.

Why they chose this property

Without question, you would choose this property entirely for your pets. It only has two bedrooms, with four single beds. The dogs are welcome to stay inside the house with their owners.
I know that Chooks Paradise has received a couple of bad, brutal reviews, and I do feel that these were a little harsh. On the up-side, I do receive many notes and e-mails from dog owners who say the house was very popular with their pets, and perfectly served their purposes - and from my own perspective, this is the name of the game.

What makes this property unique

Situated in a quiet street, close to bus stops and a short trip to the Paradise Interchange, where a connecting bus will travel to all areas of Adelaide.
