Perfect beach stay

It was our first trip to Adelaide and we couldn't have picked a better place to stay. Semaphore is a perfect location, Sonya has thought of everything to make the stay comfortable, basic kitchen supplies, wonderful range of Nespresso coffee :) cleaning products even right down to a First Aid kit. Stroll across the road to the white sandy beach and sit on the balcony in the evening to watch the amazing sunsets, 5 min walk to restaurants, cafes. It just has everything right on your doorstep. Perfect location for break away.
