LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION – A Hidden Gem in North Adelaide
Imagine arriving in beautiful North Adelaide, parking your car securely for FREE, unpacking once and discovering that so much of Adelaide is right on your doorstep.
Welcome to Close to City – Butterfly Home, a spacious three-bedroom townhouse tucked away in a quiet, tree-lined residential area, yet close enough to walk into the Adelaide CBD, Adelaide Oval, Memorial Drive, Adelaide Zoo, Botanic Park, Festival Centre and many of the city’s major attractions.

PARK THE CAR AND EXPLORE
FREE secure onsite parking for two standard vehicles is a real bonus this close to the city. Once you arrive, you may find you barely need your car.

And if you’re travelling to Adelaide for a conference or business event, why not bring the family and turn the trip into a South Australian stay? While you attend your conference or meetings, the family can enjoy nearby playgrounds, Adelaide Zoo, the Park Lands, museums, the city and North Adelaide – then everyone can come home to the same comfortable space at the end of the day.

Thank you for staying with us and for your lovely review. Absolutely delighted you enjoyed the fantastic location on Tynte Street in North Adelaide, with its wonderful cafés, restaurants, and easy access to the Adelaide city arts and cultural precinct via the free City Connector bus.
While it was unfortunate your event was cancelled, we’re so pleased you still had the chance to experience many of the amazing things happening across Adelaide and South Australia. We often hear guests say they wish they had more time to explore — there really is so much to see and do.
Thank you again for choosing Adelaide Style Accommodation in North Adelaide. We look forward to welcoming you to stay with us again on your next visit to Adelaide, South Australia.
Kind regards

We stayed for the duration of Womadelaide and this house was perfect - from Julie’s welcome at the door, full of knowledge and advice on where to go, to being in walking distance of womad. And the 24-hr pie shop was a real bonus - especially their vegan selection.

Joerg nice to meet you briefly on arrival and pleased you enjoyed the location and the home. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. During your stay there was some rather hot weather in Adelaide so no doubt the garden was feeling a little parched. It's lovely to see guests like yourself from overseas now able to visit our great State. For future guests the airport is approximately 25 minutes drive from the home. Look forward to having you stay next time you are in Adelaide. Kind regards
The property is as described and shown in photos. Internet connectivity was very good, as was mobile phone coverage.
Excellent location; close to shops and restaurants, and within walking distance to Adelaide Oval, Botanic Park and Gardens, and CBD. There are electric scooters (Beam and Neuron) everywhere, so it's easy to get around on foot; no need for a car.
Julie is extremely accommodating.
Would gladly choose the property again next time in Adelaide.

The property is in a generally quiet street in North Adelaide and is clean, well maintained and well equipped, and comes with off street parking. All dealings with the host were responded to quickly and helpfully. It is very close to a range of restaurants shops and a couple of supermarkets, and although there are public transport options, it is possible to walk into the city in about 20-25 minutes which can take you through some delightful parks.
For me the only downside is the fact it is under the main flight path either into or out of the airport and the planes are low enough to have there wheels out!
We enjoyed our stay, and the apartment is comfortable and ideally located in beautiful North Adelaide with many facilities and attractions on the doorstep or within easy walking distance or via the free bus service. We really appreciated the personal touches such as meeting Julie soon after arrival, the colourful Christmas tree with lights and the thoughtful gifts of local produce. Also we were very pleased and relieved at the prompt attention to removing the TV unit’s door that had shattered unexpectedly. Some other issues have since been discussed and resolved with Julie.
