Adelaide Heritage Cottages & Apartments

Stayed for a week with the family. Pretty expensive but served us well - on the free bus route to take in all the sights (zoo, museum, Gaol, Rundle mall). Easy to catch other public transport further afield. Nice restaurants, cafes and bakeries. Beautiful heritage buildings line nearby streets

38 Melbourne Street North Adelaide is a busy, busy street. This tiny little cottage takes you away from the hustle and bustle! Gorgeous launch pad to see Adelaide from - stay a week. Love the heated floors, the comfortable furniture, and the perfect kitchen. Parking might be difficult - there is very little on street parking in Melbourne Street. I'd advise leaving the car behind.

Room was very clean and tidy, staff were friendly and welcoming even though the check-in process was a little convoluted. One major problem was the fact that this isn't a whole cottage - you're sharing with the front half of the same cottage. This is made worse by the fact that both halves are separated by one flimsy wooden door, through which you can hear EVERYTHING. Throughout the night we were woken by our "neighbors" frequently, along with the constant noise of passing cars. I'm no stranger to living in close proximity to people, having lived in apartments most of my life, however the amount of noise the complete lack of anything to dampen it made sleeping impossible. The room was (understandably) quite old, however it also had a musty, damp smell about it which was overwhelming when we first arrived. There was also a number of live spiders running around the place when we arrived. If this cottage was priced like a 3 star motel, I would have no issues with any of the above. However with the premium rates charged here, I cannot in good faith recommend this to anyone.

In general the place is nice enough and has the basics required. My experience was soured as we were booked in an executive suite and were placed in Stanley st. Nothing we could do as it's an unattended site and we were only there 2 nights. Besides this it's a good location but could do with a sweep.

We were expecting a dedicated car park, and parked some distance away carrying our stuff. The location was good as it was close to eating places. The chairs were not comfortable and we had sore backs from the matrass. If It had been longer than 1 day we would not have been happy with the bed. The kitchen should have had curtains or blinds as I saw a person walking past which does not make it private. When we entered I liked having the music, however the radio was very distorted so I had to turn it off. Otherwise it was ok and we enjoyed the weekend.

Very surprised and happy about cottage for the night (Cafe Suite) just wish we could have stayed longer.... it was very inviting, comfortable, good amenities, comfy bed, big spa.....will highly recommend to others

After arriving at the cottage on Melbourne St, North Adelaide we let ourselves in via the gaol door which was very quaint. Upon walking through the front door we were inside a small but private den with a fireplace, 2 chairs (we later learned were originally owned by Sir Donald Bradman) and desks, togheter with memrobillia of the Don and old pictures of the building fromthe turn of the century on the wall. Next we moved into the bedroom with its addorable old queen bed, (with comfortable mattress), leading off from the bedroom was the bathroom with Spa bath, which easily accomodates 2 people. There was also a small galley kitchen and outside we had access to a private courtyard at the rear of the building. We totally enjoyed staying in this quaint cottage with the ambiance of such an historic residence and will book further stays in other accommodation provided by the Heritage Group. The only downside of this accommodation was the traffic noise at night when we were in bed. As we are not used to this it takes sometime to become accosted to.

I didn't know what to expect but when I arrived I was blown away. It was so unique and so perfect.

Stayed here for one night on business. The place was so cosy it was so lovely coming back to at the end of a long day, like staying in your own home with all the comforts. I can't wait to come back and stay here for pleasure!

The place is completely overpriced and poorly maintained I wouldn't recommend
