“Cosy cottage in a great location.”
Cosy stylish cottage with all the comforts of home, in a fantastic location close to the Botanic Gardens and city, but away from the main road in a lovely and quiet street.

“A delightful, comfortable stay at a perfect location, with everything we needed.”
The location is perfect, and safe. The bed is awesome. The shower is about the best we have ever experienced in our travels. At night it is absolutely quiet, not one external sound - fantastic! The layout of the accommodation is just wonderful. Things like having ample bench space in the bathroom for two people means a lot, and is rarely found elsewhere. Also, having a walk in closet and hanging space for clothes is fantastic, this also is rarely found elsewhere. Our five nights there were a joy, and a delight. We would very highly recommend to anybody.

“Wonderful accomodation and a very considerate and generous host.”
The location is ideal - very close to the city and most of the places we wanted to visit, especially the botanical gardens, the zoo with the gorgeous pandas, and the art gallery. The cottage is charming as well as surprisingly roomy and beautifully decorated.

“Fabulous location for a visit to gardens”
Rosie was very welcoming and helped us to settle in quickly. The location, close to the botanical gardens was perfect for us. Not too far to walk to dinner in Rundle street either.

“Great place to stay, quiet and peaceful, close to city, but in a beautiful old suburb of Adelaide.”
Great location, close to city. Very comfortable, had everything we wanted, plus lots more, had everything anyone could want! Rosie a great host. Not sparkling clean, but as expected for an old property. Everything worked well. Small kitchen, but adequate for us. Very quiet and peaceful. Comfortable beds. As shown and described on booking.com. Would recommend to anyone.

Lovely cottage with old world charm, so very quiet and peaceful even though location very near to CBD. Rosie was an excellent hostess, making sure we had everything we needed and available if issues. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily stay again when next in Adelaide.

Great location, well-appointed, super comfy, great shower, great breakfast - loved our stay here in the super quiet Athelney Cottage. We'll be back next time. Lots to see and do nearby. Highly recommend the botanical gardens (and amazing flying fox colony!) plus the Adelaide Zoo both just within cooey.
