About this property

Prime Location | North Adelaide 2BR Apt, Melbourne St | Courtyard |Near CBD Events + Private Parking

Stylish two-bedroom ground-floor apartment in North Adelaide's Grand Apartments on Melbourne Street, with free parking and a private courtyard. Walk to Adelaide Oval, the Botanic Gardens, Rundle Mall, and the Festival Theatre. Reverse-cycle air con, freshly renovated full kitchen, work desk, in-unit laundry, and gated security throughout. Ideal for families, business travellers, and extended stays, and perfectly placed for Adelaide Fringe, WOMADelaide, and Adelaide Oval events.

You and your group will have the entire apartment to yourselves throughout your stay.

This two-bedroom apartment sits in North Adelaide's Grand Apartments on Melbourne Street, an easy walk from Adelaide Oval, the Botanic Gardens, Adelaide Zoo, Rundle Mall, and the Festival Theatre. A free designated car park waits right outside your door, and a private enclosed courtyard gives you a quiet spot to unwind after a day exploring the city.

Inside, the apartment is set up for comfort and everyday convenience. The master bedroom has a queen bed, the second bedroom offers two singles, and a pull-out sofa bed sleeps a fifth guest, so it works well for families or small groups. A dedicated work desk in the dining area suits anyone who needs to fit in a few hours of work, while a reverse-cycle split-system keeps the apartment comfortable through every season. The kitchen is fully equipped with pantry basics, and an in-unit washer and dryer, along with an outdoor line in the courtyard, make longer stays easy. Entry is through a secure electric gate with intercom access, so you and your group have privacy throughout your stay.

Melbourne Street itself is walkable to cafes, wine bars, and local restaurants, with the Torrens River paths and Memorial Drive Tennis Complex close by. In the evening, spots like the Lord Melbourne Hotel, Lion Hotel, and Kentish Arms are just minutes on foot.

North Adelaide is also a strong base for the city's major events, putting you within easy reach of WOMADelaide, the Adelaide Fringe Festival, the Adelaide Festival of Arts, the VALO Adelaide 500, and cricket or AFL at Adelaide Oval.


Dining & Shopping – Situated on Melbourne Street, you’re right in the heart of North Adelaide’s café and dining strip, with restaurants, pubs, boutiques, and everyday conveniences just steps from the door.

Adelaide CBD – The city centre is less than 5 minutes by car or a 15–20 minute walk, making it easy to access Adelaide Oval, Rundle Mall, and the Festival Theatre precinct. Cycling paths also provide a direct route into the CBD.

Public Transport – Regular bus services run along Melbourne Street, offering quick connections into the city and surrounding suburbs. The free Adelaide Connector bus also links North Adelaide with the CBD.

Driving – Major roads such as Melbourne Street, O’Connell Street, and Frome Road provide direct access across metropolitan Adelaide. Adelaide Airport is approximately a 20-minute drive.

Green Spaces – The River Torrens and parklands are just a short stroll away, perfect for walking, jogging, or cycling.

Day Trips – Within 30–40 minutes you can explore the Adelaide Hills, including Mount Lofty and Hahndorf. The Barossa Valley wine region is also just over an hour’s drive, making it ideal for a scenic getaway.

Positioned on one of the most prestigious streets in the area, Melbourne Street is surrounded by a blend of old-world charm and modern sophistication.

Fantastic home away from home

It is a fantastic place. Close to the CBD, Adelaide zoo, Botanical Gardens and most importantly, spoiled with food choices with so many great restaurants around. We will definitely recommend this place for everyone. We will definitely stay again at this property (felt like my own home), if we visit Adelaide again.

Absolutely loved reading your review, Niwas – thank you so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled to hear the place felt like a home away from home for you – that’s exactly what we hope every guest experiences. It’s great to know the location worked well for your plans too – being close to the CBD, the Zoo, and the beautiful Botanical Gardens really does make exploring Adelaide so easy (and yes, the food scene is such a bonus!). It means a lot that you’d recommend the place to others, and we’d absolutely love to welcome you back anytime you're visiting Adelaide again. Take care and thanks again for being such a lovely guest! ~ Unwind

comfortable apartment in a great location

Great location. It is a comfortable clean 2-bedroom apartment that was quiet. It had a very good bathroom with an excellent shower. It had a good-sized kitchen and had everything we needed. We would happily stay here again

Good location

We have stayed in this complex before. Property was clean, close to everything. A few improvements would be: a second set of keys, air conditioning in the bedrooms, not just the living area and better communication-it would have helped to have the apartment number and check in process well ahead of our arrival.

Hi Stephen! We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with such detailed feedback about your stay. It is always amazing to hear from our guests and how wonderful their stay with us was despite the shortfall regarding the unit number. Rest assured, we immediately made improvements, and you'll never experience the same shortfall in your future stay with us. Can't wait to have you back. Take care

Missing Basic Features

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Aircon in living area only! So if you need it in bedrooms all doors must stay open. Carparks for some units are mini sized and we had to park at our expense and risk on the street. Way overpriced given these basic problems with the accommodation. No office or staff onsite so no way to resolve concerns. Avoid.

Great Location, comfortable property

Had a great stay at this property. Roomy apartment, well kept with everything you need. Car park was a little small as we had a large car but this was the only downside. Location was brilliant - only 5 minutes from attractions and shopping. Would definitely stay again
