Fantastic location however the place needs a bit of maintenance. Is a great place to holiday with a small family reasonable on price. However we decided to cook a few times and found a lack of sharp knives and also couldn’t find a chopping board anywhere in the whole place. Otherwise excellent

Can’t Beat This Location
This 2 bedroom flat cannot be closer to Semaphore Beach - it’s literally just across the road! The beach is beautifully accessible for walks, swimming, and enjoying the ocean. You can even enjoy a mini train chuff past filled with passengers. The locals were lovely and friendly.The flat does need a bit of attention for things like holes in fly screens, difficulty locking and unlocking the front doors, and loose sections of one of the sliding doors. The bedrooms lacked ventilation which we solved by tuning on the air conditioning unit. The flat is attached meaning you can hear the neighbours in the other units very easily, especially at night.The owner was very responsive and helpful. We enjoyed the ocean views and it is a beautiful location to watch the sun set over the water. Off street parking was great to have. It’s just a 15 minute stroll down to the summer carnival at the jetty and the Semaphore shopping precinct.

Good for short stay
I needed accommodation for a short stay and this location was very good in respect to travelling to family. But it is on a busy corner and I could not open doors to allow air flow into the unit as it was vehicle traffic noise is high. The unit is comfortable, but you need to bring your own wifi. The dish cleaning clothes looked old and not clean but it was all that was available as there is no dishwasher. Whilst it is directly across the road from the beach and the living area is comfortable, I personally could not do a long stay at this location due to the noise and not being able to open windows. I would recommend to people on short business trips.

Lovely Location
The location of this apartment is great. Seaview's from the front door and close to the quaint seaside town of Semaphore, plus it is easy to catch the train into the city. The bedrooms were fresh and clean, however the kitchen and bathroom need a really good spring clean and sort out. The property manager was easy to get hold of and helpful. Even though the neighbours are close they were all quiet and friendly, if we ran into them.

Apartment
There were 12 steep concrete steps to go up to enter the front of the Apartment and the kitchen, so access was not easy when carrying luggage or shopping. Inside the Apartment there was everything required for our stay. From the kitchen and the top step there were good views of the beach, sea and railway. From the lounge room, which had a side exit door to a walkway with steps, there was a good view of the Fort Glanville bush and the hills. There is no wifi at this property, so we used the free wifi at the local library on Semaphore Road. The property manager was helpful when we needed access to the apartment and information.

Perfect for the price we paid.
Accommodation was good for the price we paid. There was no dryer and only an extremely small hanging rack to try and dry clothes for 4 people. Checkin was very easy and communication was excellent. You won’t get any better than this for the price paid. We were happy with the location
