Guest Reviews

• Kelly (10/5): Loved this cottage, lovely hosts and excellent location. - Location is perfect, walking distance to the beach shops and cafes. Excellent communication with Helen and Peter and the cottage was lovely and clean. Home away from home.
• Rita (10/5): Perfect location, very clean and a relaxing space ! - Great location, close to amenities and very clean. Very homely, you can tell great care has been put into the place. Nothing really.
• patrice (10/5): Pleasant - Clean quiet, close walk to eateries and beach Wifi was a bit weak and my phone provider hardly had any signal
• Ilsa (3/5): Lovely cottage. - Lovely little cottage, nicely converted. Nice, quiet street. A little far from amenities that would suit young children. Some confusion about check out dates with the owners. Not a private space as owners home is attached.
• Richard (8/5): -
• Graeme (10/5): Most enjoyable. - It was very comfortable, very clean and well appointed in an excellent location. Grab handles in the bathroom would be an excellent improvement.

• Anthony (10/5): Great location and value - Location was excellent. Quite location and very comfortable,
• Amanda (9/5): Beaut little cottage in fantastic location - Peter and Helen have a lovely cottage. Great that you can watch the lounge tv from the bedroom. Complimentary jar of home made jam for breakfast and a carton of milk in the fridge. Great location. Food options and supermarket just around the corner. The main queen bed. Way too soft for us and felt like we were rolling into the middle. Feel like it was a mattress topper on an older mattress. Plenty of room for a king size bed. Needed a screen on the front door or opening windows. A bit of fresh air would have been nice.

Cooking in the Kitchenette was a litle limited due to limited space and pantry storage. But with the proximity to the cafes etc, we didnt need to cook.

• Marnamod (10/5): Exceptional - The whole stay experience was wonderful 😊 We had to leave.
• Marston (9/5): Very comfortable and well-equipped cottage in a great but quiet location - Very comfortable and well-equipped cottage in a great but quiet location, close to the sea and to shops and cafes and restaurants.

• Tracy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Aamir (9/5): Superb -
• Pat (10/5): It was such a great mini getaway!! - The service by Peter and Helen was exceptional - we loved the fact that they were so accommodating. We loved every minute of our stay. We loved the homemade biscuits, jam and the chicken salt. Will so stay again if we come back to Adelaide. Nil
• Sally (9/5): Perfect 🥰 - The hosts were very welcoming and made accommodation for our late arrival. The facilities and rooms were just beautiful. It was a perfect place for our stay (couple with 2 young children).
• Dianne (10/5): great - Loved the extra personal touches with jam and biscuits !
• Paula (9/5): Superb - Location is great. Hosts were friendly and helpful No issues
• Anonymous (2/5): Not recommended - No off street parking as claimed, the “kitchen” is in an alcove in the passageway that leads to the owner’s residence
• Evangelyn (9/5): Superb -
• Roy (10/5): Best value in Glenelg!!! - Penzance Cottage is just a wonderful place to stay. It's totally self-contained. You enter via the road and it is detached from the host's main dwelling (which sits behind it). So you have a whole little cottage to yourself. Best value in Glenelg! We received a message shortly after booking with Peter and Helen's numbers, and they were very responsive on text as check-in approached and key handover was easy with Peter meeting us at the door. They're both lovely people, and Peter even has a quite large claim to fame (ask him what it is when you meet him)! We had complimentary home made cookies and jam to enjoy during our stay... which were so delicious that we had to buy more at the honesty box behind the cottage. It sits on a tree-lined street in a lovely residential area, with a close walk to cafes and pubs and a short drive (or medium walk) to Glenelg pier. Beds were comfy, bedrooms were well sized, the cottage is warm and well insulated, bathroom was tastefully finished and overall it just immediately felt like home for a few days. A perfect base of operations to return to and relax at the end of the day. If you need to stay in Glenelg, hopefully this review is the one that gives you peace of mind that Penzance Cottage is a spot you won't regret booking. Our group of three couldn't fault it.
• Gayle (9/5): Regret not booking an extra night. - Felt welcomed. Loved being able to say hello to the "hosts" as they lived next door. Very accommodating when plane was late with arranging for the key to be available. A little far but still walking distance of the waterfront and cafe. Grocery store and chemist just in the next street so very convenient. Wouldn't have minded off street parking. BUT, not really an issue as it was a quiet street so no trouble parking.
• Therese (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rui (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tennant (9/5): Superb - Lovely cottage in a fabulous location, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend xx
• Sharon (9/5): Perfect, everything we needed - I love the location and the cleanliness. As well as the delicious jam! Nothing, it was great.
• Sonya (10/5): Exceptional -
• Helen (9/5): Lovely, quiet location yet near the hub of a very tourist rich area. - Fabulous location in a very quiet street, yet easy access (walking distance) to good breakfast and coffee locations, pubs etc. The bathroom was lovely and clean, facilities good and had just about everything we needed The TV reception was very poor so if that could be improved it would just about make it ideal. Otherwise, little else was of a bother to us.
• Tracey (9/5): Superb -
• Joanne (10/5): A super, clean, comfortable, relaxing stay. Thank you very much Helen and Peter. - The property was very clean, spacious, quiet and well equipped. It was in a good location.
