Sue is a lovely and generous host, who made sure we had everything we needed from breakfast (she accommodated glutenfree, veggie and vegan options) to pool access and bikes. We really enjoyed our swims and leisurely mornings in the lucious garden, having a chat with the host and listening to abundant bird song. Bus around the corner takes you to Rundle Street in 10 minutes, which is really convenient. Sue is very friendly and her dog Bonnie is a sweetie. Anyone who stays here will have a lovely time!

We would like to thank Sue for being a wonderful host, not only producing excellent breakfasts each morning but being thoughtful and helping us when required. She drove Steve to the Adelaide Oval to save him from walking in the extraordinary heat and collected him with a refreshing cold beer after a stressful days play (from an England perspective!). Thank you Sue for welcoming us to your wonderful home and City.

Garden retreat close to the city

A supremely quiet and relaxing refuge in a beautifully landscaped private garden close to the River Torrens Linear Trail providing wonderful walking, jogging and cycling opportunities and easy access to the University of Adelaide. Sue is the kindest, most gracious and generous of hosts. I cannot recommend her B&B warmly enough.

Sue made sure all of our possible needs were met before we even got there, arranging for our tours and recommending restaurants. Beautiful backyard with pool and outside dining area but it was winter so we ate in the warmth of Sue’s kitchen. Close to everything and we walked to many places.

Fantastic weekend away

We had an amazing weekend and Sue was just lovely. Sue was caring, loved to share some of her life experiences with us. Breakfast was amazing and we loved sitting outside by the pool and in the garden. While Sue did spend time with us she was very mindful of us wanting some time to ourselves. She was always extremely respectful of that. I will stay there again and would recommend to my friends.

Beautiful Bed and Breakfast

What a great spot. Only 2km from town and close to Botanic Gardens. The suburb is so nice and quiet. Sue looked after us cooking us breakfast every day and even prepared a brekky box for us for our trip back home as we were leaving early. Sue is the most wonderful host and we enjoyed our chats with her and Bonnie in the mornings. Thanks Sue for being a wonderful host.
