In the heart of Adelaide
Evelyn’s Retreat is just off Rundle Mall - close to cultural activities, shopping, university, restaurants, etc.The apartment is well equipped and very comfortable.Minimal traffic noise given the location and access at all hours was very easy and secure.Your friendly host Robyn is very responsive to messages on the VRBO page.Highly recommended for two people.

Security is key and the building is safe. We enjoyed very good restaurants well within walking distance. Great location overall.

Cosy Apartment
With the exception of the lounge rooms lacked natural daylight and to compensate the bedroom lighting could be improved. Lounge did have some sunshine through out the day but lighting for evenings also needs improvement. Live TV reception very poor. On a positive point kitchen is modern and well equipped with a good dining area. Appreciated the quality food and drink amenities provided. Bathroom was compact and modern. Could not operate the kitchen and bathroom underfloor heating.

Convenient, clean & homely
My son & I stayed at Evelyn's Retreat while attending an event in Adelaide. We loved Evelyn's Retreat. We were a stone's throw away from public transport, shops, tourist attractions, churches, universities. Robyn had provided croissants, hot cross buns(it was Easter long weekend😁) butter & jam on our arrival. The unit was very clean, cosy and quiet. Just perfect after busy days out & about in beautiful Adelaide. During the day we could quickly go back in between sessions & then head out into the town refreshed for our next adventure. The kitchen had enough to make simple meals, appliances easy to use, the bed was comfy, the bathroom was compact & pristine. So convenient - it cost me $2.40 each way to & from the airport on the bus!

Exceeded expectations.
The apartment is both wonderfully located and beautifully appointed. The host provided a lot of useful information regarding the apartment and surrounds. Really enjoyed my stay here as a solo traveller.
