Fantastic weekend away
We had an amazing weekend and Sue was just lovely. Sue was caring, loved to share some of her life experiences with us. Breakfast was amazing and we loved sitting outside by the pool and in the garden. While Sue did spend time with us she was very mindful of us wanting some time to ourselves. She was always extremely respectful of that. I will stay there again and would recommend to my friends.

Beautiful Bed and Breakfast
What a great spot. Only 2km from town and close to Botanic Gardens. The suburb is so nice and quiet. Sue looked after us cooking us breakfast every day and even prepared a brekky box for us for our trip back home as we were leaving early. Sue is the most wonderful host and we enjoyed our chats with her and Bonnie in the mornings. Thanks Sue for being a wonderful host.

Fantastic experience
Superb in every way. Amazing hosting, beautiful room set in immaculate gardens, breakfasts made to choice. Thoroughly recommend, and I'll be back. However, I was disappointed by having the full 5-night stay cost subtracted by the booking agent from my credit card, well in advance of my stay. This is not on, in my opinion. A deposit,, fine. Full amount? No.

Truly wonderful B&B with sweetest Host
Sue made sure all of our possible needs were met before we even got there, arranging for our tours and recommending restaurants. Beautiful backyard with pool and outside dining area but it was winter so we ate in the warmth of Sue’s kitchen. Close to everything and we walked to many places.

Perfect, cozy, friendly retreat in North Adelaide
Very comfortable place to stay in one of the most beautiful areas in Adelaide. Sue and Phil are fantastic, friendly, generous hosts who will make you feel like you're staying with family. Great walking/cycling paths, parks, gardens and cafes in your immediate area. Barely 20 minutes from airport, close to public transport, easy to get into central city (Sue and Phil will show you where everything is!) Zoo and botanical gardens are both only about 20 minutes walk away! Restaurants and bars of North Adelaide only 20 minutes walk. Gorgeous area full of turn of the century homes. Loved our stay!! We'll be back.

Lovely area, lovely experience
College Park is one of those charming unspoiled inner suburbs that Adelaide excels in, and Sue and Phil's house is a perfect example. So is their hospitality, which in our case went way beyond what anyone could expect. We loved the setting, the brekkies, the conversations and the friendship that grew up. Strongly recommended.

Peaceful cottage tucked away in leafy Adelaide suburb
My partner and I loved our stay, and would recommend this lovely B&B to anyone seeking a peaceful and homey stay in Adelaide. Sue and Phil went above and beyond to make us feel at home, cooking a homemade breakfast for us every day and lending us bicycles for a tour of the city. We will definitely be back when we visit SA again. Thanks for a beautiful time. -Cory & Nienke
