Central Market Cottage: an urban retreat for you and your Pets

This charming cottage is nestled in the southwestern quadrant of the CBD. It’s only a few minutes walk to the vibrancy of the Central Market, Gouger Street and Chinatown. An unexpected highlight of this property is the basalt-paved backyard featuring a majestic gum tree, and an organically grown kitchen garden which guests are encouraged to use. The living & dining area flow into the rear through large wooden sliding doors allowing for the best of both worlds. You can relax inside on the couch, or outside sit under cover or soak up the atmosphere in the shade of the gum tree. You have a choice of dining inside or using the large outdoor teak table and Weber Q which easily allow you to host a lunch or dinner. A large screen plasma TV and Music System with iPod dock is there for your entertainment or to assist you unwind. We provide complimentary Internet ADSL-2 Wi-Fi for our guests. The cottage has two bedrooms, one with pillow-top queen bed and the second with a queen shaker style bed. Professionally laundered linen is supplied. An additional double size temporary bed, including linen and Doona, is available - please advise if this is required. Children are welcomed and little ones under five although provided for, can stay for free. We have a port-a-cot and high chair which can be provided upon request. The cosy bedrooms are carpeted with rustic pure wool and include hanging robes, and extra storage. The fully equipped kitchen is a cooks delight with the warmth of beech bench tops and natural light, and stainless appliances, including dishwasher, microwave, and commercial grade cooker. Basic pantry items are supplied (Olive oil, Salt & Pepper, Red wine vinegar.) The traditional bathroom while compact incorporates a shower, basin and toilet. The laundry is inclusive of washing machine and tub. The property has reverse cycle ducted air conditioning. There is a double length carport to offer off street parking with lockable side entry for ease and security. We are happy to receive enquiries regarding travelling pets. We will consider these on a case by case basis.
The Market Cottage is superbly located, just a stone's throw from the cosmopolitan Gouger St precinct which has a fabulous array of cafes, restaurants, takeaway, bars and entertainment options, including Her Majesty's Theatre. Even closer is Cantina Sociale and the earthy Café Troppo, where you can grab your morning coffee and eggs. If you choose to cook during your stay, your options are plentiful, including the Central Market, supermarkets, organic food stores, and many other specialty food shops, all within a short walk.

Ideal haven in Adelaide city

Welcome home away from home perfect for families and pets! Well equipped kitchen, great supplies, lovely outdoor area to relax. Wide range of books and board games for entertainment alongside big tv in lounge room were great. Excellent communication with hosts including helpful information and tips of what to see and do in Adelaide. Location superb, easy walking distance to well renowned Central Market, restaurants, parklands and several attractions with convenient tram access to city centre, southern and northern suburbs. Follow Host's instructions to a tee for access in and out of carport! Highly recommend and would stay again in a heartbeat.

A Liitle Gem!

A quaint little cottage within easy walking distance to Chinatown and Adelaide Central Market. 2-3 tram stops to Rundle Mall.The Cottage has all the mod-cons that you will need, plus super comfy beds. The owners have thought of everything that you will need. Don't stay for a night or two, use this as your base for a week.Great communication from the owner too.

Top Accomodation in Adelaide

Stayed 6 nights with our cavoodle dog. Cottage has been provided with everything for a totally comfortable stay in central Adelaide. We couldn't have asked for better and when a minor problem was encountered Craig came up trumps and had it sorted quickly without fuss. The enclosed yard was spot on and our dog was happy which made us happy. We also managed the narrow car park area having a small car (Hyundai Kona).

Very cute and comfortable cottage. Amazing location, close to the buzzing Central Market, easy walk to rest of Adelaide City. Would stay again for sure. Car port a bit squeezy, but manageable. Probably couldn’t fit a 4WD in.

Absolutely gorgeous historic cottage nestled in a super quiet part of the CBD. Full upgraded kitchen and laundry, many original features of the cottage retained and just a delight. The timber step from dining area into kitchen, how many feet have worn that step down? Just amazing. Even has the old Adelaide town hall original 4 panel glass sliding doors on lounge entrance to patio with Latin inscription! Great rear garden area, spacious and well equipped. Fantastic hosts. Super clean and well managed property. Highly recommend.

Second time and it's still the winner

This is a beautiful spot - a short walk to the market, easy access to the free city bus and the tram. The courtyard is a beautiful spot to put your feet up and enjoy a coffee or an evening glass of wine. We'll be back next year.

Central to Markets, City and Entertainment areas

We came for P!nk and discovered so much more that Adelaide has to offer. A short walk to Central markets, China town, slightly longer to Fringe festival tents and a tram or longer walk to Adelaide Art gallery, museums, Adelaide oval and Jam factory. Surrounded by lots of great food options and yet quiet and cool inside the lovely historic home. Fabulous location in a heritage building- the name reflects the location. Plenty of spare blankets and a well appointed kitchen and lounge room. Shop at the central Adelaide markets and come home and cook, sip a glass of local Vino and read a book or play a board game. There is fresh herbs in the garden and we would have spent more time outside if it wasn’t so hot this week ;) A comfortable stay and we highly recommend it.

This a cute cottage, right in the heart of China Town and two streets away from Adelaide Markets. Bed was comfortable. Living area is at the back over looking the courtyard which is great to sit in.

Oasis in the city

Very comfortable, clean and quiet 2 bedroom home in the city. China town and the Adelaide central markets are almost at your doorstep, but you’re in a quiet one way lane. Eat out at one of the terrific restaurants close by or grab some food from the markets and retreat to your own private courtyard. We loved this house and it was great to access everything without needing car hire. Booked a taxi for the airport- $24.75 fixed fee. Craig ∧y communicated well and supplied lots of extra info. We visit family in Adelaide and will be back to stay here. Thanks for a lovely stay!
