About this property

Chimney Cottage—Family Gem where Beach meets Port

A five-minute drive from the white sands of Semaphore Beach and Port Adelaide’s historical CBD, this high-ceiling, modern cottage has everything on its doorstep, from scenic coastal walks, swimming, bike riding, and dolphin-spotting. Coming home to unwind by the fireplace in the open plan living area while you watch TV, cook meals in the chef's kitchen, or get together on the charming patio with a premium BBQ kitchenette while the kids make use of the backyard's basketball hoop and cubby house.
This three-bedroom family home offers the perfect blend of cottage charm and contemporary comfort. Step inside to be greeted with spacious, open living framed by a large HD TV with streaming capability, while out in the backyard is a children's play zone with a basketball ring by a cubby house. Throughout the year, this home makes the most of Adelaide’s changing climate with an indoor fireplace and split-type heating and cooling. Cosy up with a movie during the colder months and open up the large sliding doors and let the sea breezes rush through over the summer period.

The kitchen is fully equipped with the latest appliances, including a gas stove, oven and dishwasher, making meal preparation and cleaning up a breeze. It is open to the living and dining area, so you can prep and entertain at the same time. If you’re seeking a summer cookout, head outside to the BBQ and enjoy a glass of Adelaide’s finest reds at the patio dining set.

For sleeping arrangements, two bedrooms feature a queen bed and original decorative fireplace adding to their charm while the third bedroom has a single bed making the cottage suitable for a small family or group of friends. The first bedroom highlights a full ensuite with a walk-in shower, while the main bathroom boasts both a bathtub and a spacious shower.

High-speed Wi-Fi keeps you connected during your stay, while a secure, double garage and in-unit laundry with washing machine and dryer add to your everyday convenience.
Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.

The home is situated next to a railway line, which may cause some noise disturbance.

Disappointing stay
We couldn’t fault the actual accomodation. Everything we could ever need . The issue is the location. There is a heavy commuter rail line in the back yard which runs from 5 am till 1am the following day , everyday . I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s like a herd of buffalo running through the house every 30 minutes. It’s like a western movie with the whole house actually vibrating. This property should never be allowed to rent short term.
