About this property

Chooks Paradise - located at Adelaide North

All are welcome to stay at Chooks Paradise for 2 nights minimum if you are able to bring your own linen or sleeping bags. Pillows, pillowslips, towels and blankets will still be provided. If staying longer than 2 nights, all manchester will be provided.
The bathroom has had a bit of an up-grade, and the bath has been removed, due to dodgy old pipes, so from March of 2023, there is no bathroom, only a shower room.
Close to the CBD in Gilles Plains, this two bedroom house comfortably accommodates 2 people. There are 3 x single beds, and therefore I would accept bookings for 3 x people, but it will be cramped, so please take on board this info.
A small timber framed house with basic accommodation. One step up from camping.
Pets most welcome. It has a back yard which is suitable for your dog to frolic.
Please note - as the name suggests, this is a Paradise for chickens, not for people. However, the chickens have all now passed into the big chook heaven, all from old age.
This is a small, old, tatty, dilapidated house - the dogs who stay, all give great reviews, and the owners of these dogs should all be aware that they are booking this place for their beloved pets, not for a magical experience for themselves.
Located in a quiet street within walking distance to the bus and Gilles Plains Shopping Centre, where there is an Aldi supermarket, and also Woolies.
5km to the major shopping centre of Tea Tree Plaza.
Would suit people who have appointments in Adelaide, eg. Modbury Hospital, Adelaide CBD, Family Reunions, Shopping, Sporting Events at Adelaide Oval, Pop Concerts, etc.. Half an hour's drive to the closest beach.

About the host

Hosted by Lisette Struthers

Host profile image
I attended St. Peter's Collegiate Girls School. I then worked as a secretary for several years and after that, as a nanny. I also dog sit and cat sit while the owners are away on holiday.
I am a fervent supporter of Animal Welfare, and have volunteered in the past for the Animal Welfare League, the RSPCA, Free the Bears and the Orangutan Project. My annual donations are sent to Four Paws, Animals Asia and Animals Australia.

Why they chose this property

Without question, you would choose this property entirely for your pets. It only has two bedrooms, with three single beds. The dogs are welcome to stay inside the house with their owners.
I know that Chooks Paradise has received a couple of bad, brutal reviews, and I do feel that these were a little harsh. On the up-side, I do receive many notes and e-mails from dog owners who say the house was very popular with their pets, and perfectly served their purposes - and from my own perspective, this is the name of the game.

What makes this property unique

Situated in a quiet street, close to bus stops and a short trip to the Paradise Interchange, where a connecting bus will travel to all areas of Adelaide.
