Home Description

Description of the home

Our house is a 4br waterfront property, with large entertainment room, gaming area, alfresco area, laundry facilities, cooking utensils, linen, unlimited high speed WiFi, coffee machine, security system, 24hr security CCTV, a treadmill, fishing gear and guests have their own private bar fridge for their use only. We have a queen size lockable bedroom with its own private double ensuite available to a female guest/s only. Our home is located within a short walk to the Port Plaza Shopping Centre, which has a gym, supermarkets, Tony & Marks grocer (Sept), fashion, beauty salons, fast food, bakery, cafes, medical centre, etc. Port Adelaide, Port Dock & Ethelton train stations are within walking distance and it takes a 16 minute train ride to the city. We also have bus services to West Lakes shopping center. We will soon have (in August) direct access to a riverfront beach and extensive lawned area, however if you prefer we are a 20-25 minute leisurely walk to Semaphore beach and Semaphore road cafes. Our property is often visited by dolphins, and they are often seen from the backyard or the third level.

Rent rate is a single person rate ($500 for two) and is room only including all utilities and WiFi but does not include food. We can (if you choose to) add this on or we do share on occasion. We are flexible, but we are primarily set up for short term homestays (1 week to 4 months) with international or local students, PHD students & interns. We always consider extending the stay for the ideal guest/s. Rent is paid weekly or fortnightly in advance. We unfortunately cannot accept guests with their own furniture or pets and we are a non-smoking household.

About occupants
Hello, we are a homely family of 4 including a 20yo son attending a university in the city and a 17yo son in year 12. They are both studious, respectful and have their own rooms/bathroom. My wife is a hairdresser, volunteers in the health sector and I have a home based consultancy so we are home most days/nights. We prefer staying in our recently renovated 3 storey home overlooking the Port river (estuary), watching the wildlife, balancing work whilst trying to stay fit and eating healthy (but with the odd greek dessert). We have hosted many wonderful overseas students from Europe, Asia & the Americas in the past and we really appreciate those who try to be clean & tidy, polite and can respect our property. We have a very clean indoor cat called Cleo (Cleopatra) who is very timid, a little bit shy but lovable. We enjoy movie nights, having a laugh with a social drink, playing table tennis or 8 ball (but usually only with our guests). All members in our family have a "Working With Children Check". We would love to welcome you into our home and like all our previous guests into our broader international family.
Compatible people
As we are a homestay our preferred guest/s are female students/travelers who don't mind being treated like part of the family. They are respectful and have good manners and are comfortable receiving the same in return.
