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.

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 an original decorative fireplace, adding to the cottage's character, while the third bedroom offers two single beds, making the home ideal for a small family or group of friends. The primary bedroom includes a private ensuite with a walk-in shower, while the main bathroom is well-appointed with both a bathtub and a spacious shower.

Reliable 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.
During your stay, you and your group will have the entire cottage to yourself. Please make yourself at home!

Wedged between the historical CBD of Port Adelaide, and the colourful foreshore of Semaphore Beach, this home has everything at its fingertips. Start your day and get your morning caffeine fix from Folklore Cafe overlooking Port Adelaide river. Grab fish and chips from one of the many fish shops located on Semaphore Road, before sticking the umbrella in the sand and plonking yourself down for a day on the white sands. Once you’ve wiped the sand off your feet and recharged at home, head for Port Adelaide’s popular and heritage district. Look no further than Carmine and Co, located five minutes’ drive from your stay. The popular local has been a mainstay for over 50 years and has evolved even as the north-west is continually gentrified. Here, you’ll find traditional Italian staples and some of Adelaide’s finest reds.

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.

Guests who remain past the 10am check out time agree to cover any additional fees charged by our cleaners.

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