About this property

Prospect guest house 4km Oval/CBD 2 bathrms/double private carport

The Prospect guest house is in a double brick property with lovely large French windows that let in the light, making it bright and airy. It sits in a leafy inner city upmarket suburb, with free Wifi/internet and within a short stroll to a wonderful cafe/restaurant hub. Coles also sits at the end of the street and at the other end you will find the most wonderful playground/BBQ park.

Recently updated with new flooring/ kitchen and a new second bathroom. It has a double carport, two bathrooms, one inside and a new one outside under the main roof (when looking at the photos it's the door on the left). It has 2 enormous bedrooms, 5m x 4m and 5×5, which sleep up to 8 adults and still offer plenty of room for a cot. Please note the sitting area, as seen in the photographs, is also the main bedroom. This property does not have a separate lounge room. It has 2 huge bedrooms and a large kitchen/dining.


The large main bedroom has a queen-sized bed (plus en suite) and is filled with antique furniture with its own private sitting area. There is an LCD TV on the wall, reverse-cycle air con, and a ceiling fan.

The second and bigger bedroom has 2 double beds and a foldout couch that is very comfy. This room also has a flat-screen TV, a PlayStation/DVD system (supplied on request, with games and DVDs) as well as an office desk.

Its northern aspect to the city means that it's on the same side as the Festival Theatre, Adelaide's new football/ cricket oval and the Entertainment Centre, all about 5 min away. If wine is your thing then it sits on the right side of town to make a quick trip to the famous Barossa Valley (40 min drive). It is also only a 5 min drive to the Adelaide Aquatic Centre and the Women's and Children's Hospital.

Basic condiments are provided. If cooking's not your thing then walk to the end of the street for some of the best cafes and restaurants in town.

Secure, quiet, city fringe location that accommodates pets. The property is surrounded by high fences for complete privacy and pet security.

$15/20 cab fair to the city or a 45 minute walk. Buses run every 10 min to and from the city at the end of the street.

Age-appropriate toys can be provided on request at any time.

The layout of the rooms is:
Bedroom 1 has one queen bed an a stunning sitting room with reverse cycle air con and LCD on the wall.

Bedroom 2 has 2 double beds and a foldout couch. It also has a TV with PlayStation, gas heater and reverse air con.

The dining area also has a delightful wicker cane day bed and can be used for bedding on request.

If extra bedding is required an extra foldout bed and/or cot can be arranged at request.

The cottage has no formal separate lounge room. It comes with a highchair and any other children's/babies' necessities so please ask on or before arrival. Often guests want separate beds so I can arrange up to 6 separate beds if large groups are coming and don't want to share a double bed.

Includes an F&P washing machine in the carport and undercover lines to hang out your washing. I don't advertise that there is a BBQ, however If you require one please let me know and I'll have it brought over for you (it's next door at my other property The Gentleman's Bungalow).

Around the corner is a wonderful playground and a park with BBQ facilities and the North Adelaide football oval where the local residents meet every morning with their dogs to let them off their lead for a run.

Pet friendy optional on enquiry only. Additional charges apply

Stay for Adelaide Royal
The property was very comfortable well presented and very clean. As we had a dog trailer it was a bit difficult to back into but after the first time it wasn’t a problem. We will definitely stay at Shellie’s again.

Catherine V.

Not all it was advertised
Disappointing and not value for money. The bathroom and toilet is only accessable via one of the bedrooms (the one with the tv) or by going outside then entering via the laundry. Not ideal in the night. In addition the paving outside was uneven making access to the front door, or the laundry at night, a little difficult. The kitchen table occupies most of dining area making access around the table awkward Location is the only redeeming feature for this property

4/10 Poor

Left a lot to be desired
What was not said was of more value. This is a 1 bedroom granny flat converted to hold as many people as possible. Access ONLY through the laundry door to a laundry larger than the bathroom. 1 bathroom accessed either through the "bed-lounge room"or via the external doors. Main bedroom - large enough to put 2 queen beds plus floor mattress & cot. Bed-lounge room had 1 queen bed, leather lounge and a desk that was not accessible to use, hidden beside the lounge. Dining room was cramped and did not permit ready access for everyone - the kitchen bench was head height and the extra bed in this area was useful for seating only. Again? I don't think so. I have used Stayz previously and this was not a 4-4.5* property.

Thank you Shelley, I really enjoyed my stay at your house. The atmosphere very peaceful, the little garden a delight to sit outside with my little dogs. The close proximity to shops, resturants, a thearte make it a perfect getaway. I would highly recommend anyone to have a break away at Shelley's.

Absolutely loved it!
Loved our stay at the Prospect guest house. Our host couldn't of been kinder, she even went as far as leaving a gift for each of our children upon arrival, which made their day! 😊 The guest house was unbelievably roomy, I was completely surprised in just how much room there was. The pictures shown on the site really don't do this property justice, it is absolutely beautiful. The guest house has a good sized kitchenett and dinning room with everything you could possibly need to make your stay comfortable. It has two very large bedrooms, one with two large double beds and one sofa bed, TV, cupboard, draws and desk. And still plenty of floor space for the kids to play! The second bedroom has a beautiful timber lounge suite, a large queen size bed, hanging space, draws, TV and an ensuite bathroom. Just outside next to the back door is a 2nd large bathroom! Which definitely came in handy. This particular part of prospect is very quiet and the surrounding homes are stunning. We thoroughly enjoyed this particular property and would highly recommend it to anyone who is wanting affordable homely accommodation for their stay in Adelaide. And it's only a short drive into the city! We will definitely be staying again on our next visit to Adelaide.
