Guest-first stays. Host partnerships. Coastal Adelaide at the heart.
A small local team looking after coastal stays and the owners behind them.
Adelaide Short Stays is a local short-stay operator with a soft spot for Glenelg salt air, Jetty Road evenings, and homes that feel like somewhere you'd actually want to unpack.
We're not a faceless booking portal. We're a small team based at 278 Anzac Hwy, Plympton SA 5038, looking after travellers who want more than a hotel room, and owners who want their investment cared for properly.
Book direct and you'll find welcoming spaces, practical extras, and people who answer the phone. Beach weekend, work trip, or longer coastal reset: we want the stay to feel easy from the first message to checkout.
We keep that partnership practical: clear communication, thoughtful presentation, and a shared approach to short-stay life. You keep control of availability and who you welcome; we help with the rhythm of hosting.
From Glenelg and Glenelg North to nearby pockets like Plympton and further south to Port Willunga, our collection leans into Adelaide’s beachside lifestyle: walkable cafés, tram links, and stays with character.
Handpicked stays feedback from travellers who booked with us.
“Great stay for our team member! The Airbnb was clean, comfortable, and perfect for our staff member working in the area. The host was friendly and accommodating, and the space had everything we needed for a smooth and restful stay. Would definitely book again!”
“Great place - spacious and nicely appointed. Fantastic proximity to everything. I'd highly recommend this little unit for anyone looking to stay in Glenelg.”
“What a great little place to stay. Park the car and walk everywhere or if you do leave there's always a spot when you're back. Cool, relaxed, beachy feel as soon as you walk in. I had the place to myself but plenty of room for a couple to stay a week or more. Would definitely book again.”
“Location location! Property was perfect for me and my toddler. Clean and comfortable. Bed was lovely to sleep on. Two minute walk to the beach house arcade, playground and beach. Close to restaurants and shops. Really enjoyed our short stay and will definitely be back!”
“A great little apartment for a short stay, close to beach and shops, with off street parking, kitchen, lounge dining. Fabulous location, perfect size for a short stay, great amenities, off street car park, quick customer service and response to queries.”
“Great location, clean, and comfortable! We had a wonderful stay at Once Upon a Tide! The location was absolutely excellent and made getting around incredibly easy. On top of that, the property was spotlessly clean and very comfortable, which made it the perfect spot to relax. I highly recommend staying here!”
