Large Heritage Room in Central Glenelg
About the Home
Stay in a rare little piece of Glenelg history. Built in 1876, this two storey bluestone heritage house was originally home of H.D Gell, Mayor of Glenelg 1884. Perfect for couples, this large private room with four poster bed has recently been restored to some of it's former glory, and styled with a mixture of original and modern furnishings. Room is locked with key for secure and private access during your stay. We now have FREE WIFI! The "Duchess" room is located on the top (first) floor, accessed via stairs inside main house. Features: Double 4 poster bed Mini fridge, microwave, kettle and toaster Tea/Coffee Wardrobe Smart TV 2x 1 seater lounge chairs Heater Ceiling Fan FREE WIFI Alfresco Dining Balcony Access (shared) 2 Bathrooms (shared) Kitchen (shared) 1 bath towel per guest The owners are endeavouring to restore this property room by room, so please note the common area bathroom and kitchen are yet to be updated (as pictured). The property is located on Sussex Street just 300 metres off the main stretch, so you can walk to everything you will need during your stay. There is also a large reserve just 250 metres away. Although this end of Sussex street is relatively quiet, Glenelg can get quite busy at certain times, particularly during the summer months. So there can be some noise at times from pedestrians walking back at night or when events have been on in the surrounding areas. A small trade off for staying in the thick of it, but generally speaking, it's cosy and quiet the majority of the time. Please ensure you list the correct amount of persons in your booking requests because this ensures you get enough towels included for each guest. Due to the shared access of the bathrooms and common areas, and also the close proximity of the bedrooms, this property is not suitable for small children or infants, or for any self isolation purposes. Our goal is provide you with a unique, comfortable, clean and convenient place to stay when you visit Glenelg. If there is something we can do to help you make the most of your time here, please let us know. For extended stays over 30+ nights, mid-stay or fortnightly servicing is required for the upkeep of the property. We will notify you when this is due to occur. ******************************************************** For a secure stay, guests are required to complete our simple verification process.
