Great holiday location!

RowenaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Thank you Jennifer for the lovely accommodation. The unit was perfect for me and so easy to live in for the 10 days I was there. Communication was great. The unit was spotlessly clean, with good quality linen and towels. The provision of basic supplies like tea, milk, spices, bread, laundry detergent etc was especially appreciated. The location is really convenient to Jetty Rd, but very quiet. I also loved the access to smart TV as I was able to link up and watch the French open tennis whilst there! If I am in the area, I would happily stay again. 😎

Beachfront Studio Apartment

HevRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Marie's place was cosy and the perfect place to have some time to myself to reflect and rejuvenate. I watched the storm rolling in over the sea and the waves crashing down from the comfy of a warm bead. strolled down for coffee in the morning and to Glenelg for tea. Good parking space is always a bonus. Marie was very responsive and communicated everything that was required well before I was due to arrive. I will be back! Thankyou Marie

Your guide to Glenelg

Welcome to Glenelg

A suburb of Adelaide, Glenelg was the favoured summer retreat for South Australia’s wealthy families in the mid-19th century, and it has retained an easy grandeur even as it was slowly absorbed into Adelaide’s urban sprawl. Here, 1870s sandstone terraced houses stand next to 1960s apartment buildings in the streets lining its famous beach, and grand Victorian mansions are dotted around the neighbourhood.

Glenelg Jetty, which extends beyond the beach into Holdfast Bay, is the focal point from which everything else radiates. From the jetty, the palm trees and tall pines of Moseley Square and the heritage-listed Glenelg Town Hall mark the start of Jetty Road, the main road leading back to the city centre. The beach portion of Jetty Road is packed with hip shops and cafés, with even more hidden away on the side streets near the water. To the north of the jetty there’s a marina and restaurant strip, and to the south you’ll find more lovely beaches at Somerton, Brighton Beach, and Seacliff.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Glenelg

Adelaide is the driest capital city in the country, and experiences little rain during the city’s hot summers. You’ll have plenty of company on Glenelg Beach from late spring to early autumn. The beach will get super-busy from mid-December, when schools break for summer, until late January. Away from the water, the city has an influx of visitors during festival season, which kicks off in mid-February with Adelaide Fringe. The biggest arts festival in the Southern Hemisphere, due to its policy of letting anyone and everyone register an event, the Fringe runs until mid-March. The Adelaide Festival of performing arts also takes place in March, as does the four-day WOMAdelaide world music festival. When the month-long party is over, Glenelg settles in for bracing autumnal days that are perfect for long walks along the coastal paths around the bay.


Top things to do in Glenelg

Bay Discovery Centre

This fascinating social history museum is housed in Glenelg Town Hall, facing the jetty on Moseley Square. Here you’ll find galleries detailing the stories of the local Kaurna people and celebrating Australian beach culture. Don’t miss the great collection of retro bathing suits dating from the 1950s.

Historic mansions

Many of the impressive summer residences built by local families in the 19th century are still standing around Glenelg. You’ll find most of them along South Esplanade, south of the jetty. There are more mansions in the streets leading away from the beach. Grab a copy of the Mansions of Glenelg guide at Glenelg Town Hall.

Coast Park Path

The promenade along Glenelg Beach is just one part of a long walking and cycling path up and down the bay. From Glenelg the path runs 24 kilometres north along the coastline past Henley Beach to North Haven, and almost 14 kilometres to Port Stanvac to the south.
