About this property
Serenity @ Silverton - Pet Friendly with Fireplace (Araluen)
We’re excited to share one of our favourite places in South Australia with you. Our pet friendly 3 bedroom holiday home is located about 90 mins from the Adelaide CBD and within just 15 minutes of some amazing local spots of the Fleurieu Peninsula with Rapid Bay, Second Valley and the launchpad for Kangaroo Island of Cape Jervis nearby. The house is also in the perfect location to explore nearby Deep Creek Conservation Park, Morgans Beach and is on the doorstep to the wine regions.
The fully fenced property is set on one acre and is landscaped with native trees, shrubs and 100 year old stringy bark trees for adults, children and pets to explore. Come inside and there are three bedrooms, two queen sized beds and the third has a double bed. The heart of the house is the living and dining space with a wood fire heater perfect for the cooler months and a split system air conditioner for all year round comfort. The large windows on both sides of the living and dining take full advantage of the northern sun. The kitchen has a gas stove and microwave available, and the property is on rain water so there is a filter in the kitchen for drinking water.
Head on out to the back deck and there is a gas barbecue and outdoor setting which is a fantastic spot for bird watching, watching your pets enjoy the property or having a glass of red (or two).
Our holiday home is perfect for a getaway with family, friends or a romantic getaway with a special someone. There is a large range of boardgames as well as DVDs and a smart TV in the lounge room and free access to Wi-Fi internet.
We do have a range of tea and coffee supplied. Between visits the house is cleaned with eco-friendly products.
We do have a ring doorbell which has a camera for remote security at the property located at the front door.
Although there is a spa bath pictured in the bathroom this is not able to be used due to the property being on rainwater.

About the host
Hosted by Phil
A local from South Australia, I've lived in a couple of eastern states for a few years before moving back to Adelaide again. Love travel and staying in unique places doing it like the locals do. Also love a good coffee.
Why they chose this property
The moment we saw this property well absolutely fell in love with it. Silverton was an area our family had been visiting for years and this well established short stay is a property our family loves and loves being able to share with guests from around the world.
