Sea Retro Getaway 2 mins walk to the beach. private outdoor area. Outdoor pool

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this quirky getaway! Full of charm and character. Much more fun than a bland hotel room! Every room was a feast for the eyes! Very clean, beds extremely comfortable, rooms nice and dark, and the area lovely and quiet… with lots to see & do. There were thoughtful touches throughout. Our host, Monica, was warm and friendly and she couldn’t have been more helpful. We highly recommend this place and will definitely be back. Thank you for everything Monica!

Such a unique stay. Very comfortable and felt at home.

Unique decor, had a very happy vibe. Had everything you needed in a comfortable relaxing accomodation. So close to beach and dining options. Owner was very welcoming, communication great. Would definitely recommend.

Loved how everywhere I looked I saw something new full of art

Monica was a wonderful host; very kind & thoughtful. When she found out it was our daughter's birthday, she went out of her way to make it really special. The backyard was magical...you have to see it to understand why! The weekend we stayed was very hot, so it was a real bonus being able to cool off in the pool.

Easy going and allowed us to enter early. Lovely place just as describe... love that era.

Retro Getaway was fine but basic, somewhat grubby and poorly maintained. Host Monica was friendly. A tenant lived in part of the complex. He occupied the only working seating in the outside area for our entire 3 day stay. He was unfriendly, and acted like he was entitled, We left early because we felt very uncomfortable. OK to stay but don't expect to be able to use the advertised outside area.

Monique was so helpful the whole time and so friendly and welcoming

a most wondrous experience of vintage charm! Monica’s apartment is peppered with drop dead gorgeous time pieces from the 50ies to the 70ies that altogether make this place a real gem. If you like colour, charm, charisma and a hint of kitsch, if you love eclectic furniture and value comfort, cosiness and a superb beachside location, Monica’s place is for you. If you prefer sleek minimalist white new apartment uniformity, not so much. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, cooked up a storm in the kitchen, had many a vinos by the pool, borrowed a bicycle and even received fresh flowers and lemons off the tree. Loved every minute. Thank you Monica - a place to make memories. Can’t wait to come back.

Just 2 streets from the beach, quiet street, peaceful atmosphere. Walking distance to food & other shops. Just PERFECT for our Easter break. Highly recommend our hostess who made sure nothing was amiss... including the bath lotion! We'll be back!

Fun place, everything we needed for a family weekend of 2 Victorian and 2 Adelaide family members get together.

An awesome placement to just relax and be with family and amazing friends. It was so relaxing and just like being at home without the pressure. Thankyou Monica for the amazing reception you gave us and I just loved the Retro apartment.

Loved the retro look. Was really cosy. Monica was great met us on arrival and showed us around. We had three baby beagles with us and the enclosed back area was great. Will stay again for sure

Staying in Semaphore is always such a pleasant trip back in time; so much evidence of its glorious past remains on show. This house is an ideal base for a nostalgic seaside Semaphore experience in terms of both location and decor. Only around the corner from both the beach and the delights of Semaphore Rd, this home is ideally situated. And the quirky retro decor throughout the property was so much fun to discover. Monica was an outstanding host. She couldn't have done more or gone out of her way more to look after and accommodate us. Nothing was too much trouble and we are very grateful. The outside/pool area was such a great space for relaxing and entertaining. Highly recommended. We can't wait to come back!
