Step into a rare slice of 1930s glamour, just moments from Glenelg South Beach. This lovingly restored Art Deco apartment draws inspiration from the elegance of the Jazz Age, inviting you to slow down and experience the allure of a bygone era. Designed by local architecture and interiors studio Atelier Bond, the space is defined by meticulously curated period details, seamlessly balanced with modern comforts to create a stay that tells a story of timeless sophistication.

The space
Tender is the Stay offers an unforgettable escape, one that lingers long after you leave and gently draws you back again.

Ease into slow coastal living with your favourite aperitif in hand, the warm tones of Ella Fitzgerald playing softly on the record player, and the windows open to let the sea breeze drift through. The fully equipped Miele kitchen pairs sleek stone benchtops with thoughtful details, including a coffee machine and curated drinks cabinet, making everything from quiet mornings to celebratory dinners feel effortless. The adjoining dining room is chic and intimate, perfectly suited to long lunches, candlelit dinners, and memorable moments shared together.

When it’s time to unwind, retreat to the tranquil bedrooms, each designed for deep rest and slow, unhurried mornings. Ducted heating and cooling throughout ensure your comfort year-round. The primary bedroom features a comfortable queen bed, while the second offers two single beds, both with generous built-in storage. Wake refreshed and head out for a sunrise swim in the clear waters of Holdfast Bay, or take a leisurely stroll along the Esplanade. Back at home, the beautifully appointed bathroom blends timeless charm with modern finishes, offering a relaxing soak or quick refresh after a day of coastal exploring.

A dedicated workspace with a desk and office chair supports remote work, while a hidden laundry with a washing machine, dryer, iron, and vacuum adds everyday convenience. Off-street parking for one vehicle is included, adding to the ease of exploring the area at your own pace.

"Actually that's my secret—I can't even talk about you to anybody because I don't want any more people to know how wonderful you are." — Tender is the Night, F.Scott Fitzgerald
