Lovely Area

After an initial hiccup the property owner was very prompt, helpful and generous in sorting it out for us. The location was beautiful, beach, shops, trains and buses so close. Easy travel to city, about 30 minutes.Location featured so many beautiful sandstone/stone homes around and very lovely beach and walks.

Satisfied

Property was clean, conveniently situated near shops and beach. Car parking on street inconvenient.
Response from VrboOwner on 3 Sept 2020
I presume your car was too large for the parking space by the front door? It is OK to park on Percy Street, which is not far to walk to the door, rather than up the driveway from Cavendish Street.

About the host

Hosted by Helen Thomas

Host profile image
We are farmers from the Mid North of SA who have set this townhouse up as our holiday house.

Why they chose this property

I love the beach, but my husband wants to be around people during his time off. We are also used to peace and quiet at night. This unit enables us to meet all these needs, whilst also being able to access the city. We also like to cycle occasionally and the cycleway is really good.

What makes this property unique

We like being close to everything, but tucked away and quiet for sleeping.
