About this apartment rental
Sleep, Eat and Play by the Sea.
"Sleep By the Sea" is a divine cottage/apartment set in a most beautiful sea location. An older cottage style property that has been styled and furnished with much love by its owners.
Should you want to sneak peek our style and quality, please search our other properties on this website - "SEA BY YOUR SIDE" and "SEA AT YOUR DOORSTEP". All 3 properties are in the same location and offer similar benefits and attributes.
This property will literally have you sleeping by the Sea. It comprises of a 2 bedroom set up, with the second bedroom located in a cozy upstairs cottage style level, with a window that gives you a gorgeous Sea View. You won't be cramped on this holiday - a KING SIZED bed in the ground level master bedroom, and a QUEEN SIZED bed on the upper level, with its own ensuite.
Don’t be surprised if you spot a dolphin just a few metres away from your holiday accommodation. Your perfect view of the sunset will be simply stunning at any time of the year.
Your stay here can offer you the priceless enjoyment of the constant sound of the sea and fresh air, yet ensure that you are within easy reach of all that the City of Adelaide has to offer. The City, Festival Theatre, Casino and Convention Center are all a short 15 minute drive, or an easy 30 minute trip with the Glenelg Tram. Please be mindful that the airport is nearby - 7 km away - so you will see and hear planes coming in. Some people love this, others not so much.
The cottage is a quick beachfront walk to the sophisticated Holdfast Shores Marina and its award winning restaurants. Another few minutes and you are on historic Jetty Road, where the eating, shopping and entertainment facilities are endless. Just Google “Glenelg Beach” to see all that this destination has to offer, including a myriad of sport and beach activities. Your stay may not require a single car trip, as local attractions such as the “Temptation” swim with the dolphins, the BeachHouse amusement park & the brand new $1.3m foreshore playground are all within walking distance.
In April 2017 the cottage was fitted with new furniture and bedding. The place has been fitted so that you can have a comfortable short or long term stay. It offers a fully equipped kitchen, your own laundry facilities, linen and toweling – just pack your toothbrush and bathers.
Please be mindful that the apartment is part of an older building. The cottage style apartment has been given much love and attention, with a quirky and cozy injection of style and decoration. It is much loved and cared for, but if you are looking for a sleek and modern beachfront property, this is not it.
The kitchen will easily cater to those who want affordable home cooked meals; that is, if they can resist the temptation to just walk into one of the cafes or restaurants down the road.
There is plenty of space; a room designated just to the dining area, a separate kitchen and a separate lounge. You will thoroughly enjoy your nights in.
When you first get there, enjoy a coffee on us - just pop a coffee capsule in the machine.
Beds
King Sized bed on the ground level.
Queen Sized bed on the upper level.
Guests should be aware that the upper level is a cottage style addition, where the ceiling height is low. Tall people will need to crouch slightly when walking around the bed. The stairs to the upper level are steep, so it is not recommended for anyone with mobility issues, or for very young children.
The living area contains a couch, which can be converted into a double mattress for sleeping an extra 2 if required. Please note that this a renovated cottage style apartment in an older style apartment building. The hot water system is not instantaneous. If there are many showers had consecutively and the hot water runs out, it will take a few hours for the water to heat up again.

10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2025
The minute you enter this premises you will feel at home. whether it's the cleanliness or the little extras provided by the host, you feel welcomed. Very comfortable home with everything you need. Pop over the road for a swim at the beach, go for a stroll along the beachfront or take a walk to Glenelg township or jetty for lunch, you really are central to everything. Very enjoyable time spent here.

The host was extremely accommodating when the flight arrived early. It was perfect for us as we could walk to our sports venue or get a bus easily Didn’t have time to explore Adelaide but the area had all we needed
6 / 10Average·Oct 2023
Place was ok, but, out dated old and quirky, and way too many bits and pieces - there is nowhere to put your own stuff and to prepare food because there are way too may added extras for the guest - it’s seemed cluttered and unnecessary- nice and thoughtful but unnecessary - black horrible light shade needs cleaning upstairs and the nude painting is off putting when you wake - not tasteful at all - on the wall in the kitchen are hotel style breakfast cereals that I wonder if these are a health hazard? You have no idea who was there prior and what they may have put into those- it was hard to prepare your own food because the benches are cluttered with all these free (nice but not necessary) samples and then when you try to put these else where there is no room apart from a chair. Upstairs room has no door and no door on the bathroom either - dusty clutter on the walls and not so nice paintings - the lounge is covered with a lounge cover that you slide off after a while on the lounge then try to sit on lounge without cover to find cheap horrible fake leather torn seats so understand why cover is on it. Bed was comfortable though, again way too many aroma sprays and mists and guest gifts, I had nowhere to put my own bibs and bobs and way too many cushions - it’s a dust mites dream! The worst thing was being woken each day by jets flying over your head at 6:00am EVERY DAY. I smacked my head on the ceiling near the window because there was no warning that it was really low.
