It was cozy and comfortable, and the view was amazing! It was so relaxing, sitting on the lounge, looking out at the sea rolling in. We really didn’t want to leave.

Absolute Beachfront. The Somerton Beach Retreat is a completely refurbished one-bedroom unit. Enjoy beautiful unimpeded sea views from the living area and the bedroom, and glorious west-facing pastel sunsets. Somerton Beach is the Adelaide’s premier beach on the famed millionaires' Golden Mile. Crystal clear water for swimming, teeming with life including dolphins and whiting. Eateries in walking distance include the Somerton Surf Club café and bar, and Inc cafe. The kitchen is well-appointed with fridge, dishwasher, washing machine, electric oven and gas cooktop. Basics including tea/coffee/sugar/pepper/salt/cooking oil are provided, with crockery, cutlery and so on (please wash dishes). It is designed for two adults, but the dining table extends and includes extra chairs for guests. Please do not move the table as it scratches the parquetry floor.

Kitchen drawers - cutlery, crockery, pots and pans, platters etc. glasses, pepper and salt, oil. Please wash and dry dishes before you leave. If only a few dishes used, hand wash. Otherwise, dishwasher. Dishwashing liquid and tablet in lower cupboard.
Somerton Park is a quiet suburb with many retirees. Locals are friendly, but tend to keep to themselves. Getting around: Bus 265 is 600m east (King George Avenue by the bowling club) - an easy 7 minute walk. It heads East to the city (38 minutes) via Glenelg (6 minutes) and south to Marion's Westingfield Shopping Centre. Also Bus 263 on Brighton Road, a 12 minute walk. Walk north to Glenelg Jetty precinct in 30 minutes or south to Brighton Jetty precinct also 30 minutes. Great walking on the beach and the esplanade.
