About this property
Steps from the sand, this beachfront escape captures the slow rhythm of Henley life. From the front lounge to the spacious sunroom, enjoy sweeping sea views and the sound of the surf. Dine alfresco on the patio or unwind in the loft’s laid-back lounge. With a full kitchen, dedicated workspace, onsite parking, and ducted evaporative cooling, this stylish coastal retreat offers effortless comfort within a short stroll of the Esplanade’s vibrant dining scene and a quick drive to Adelaide Airport.
Over a century old and filled with character, this charming beachfront home captures the relaxed rhythm of Henley life. Sunlight filters through every corner, creating a welcoming space that blends coastal simplicity with the quirks of a well-loved heritage home. The front living area opens directly to the sea — a daily reminder that the shoreline lies just across the Esplanade.
Beyond the living area, a spacious sunroom curves around the front of the home, where multiple seating areas and a dining table invite quiet reflection and slow meals with sweeping sea views. A mini fridge and drinks trolley keep refreshments close at hand, while a dedicated workspace offers a quiet corner for remote work. The shaded rear patio provides another welcoming spot for alfresco gatherings.
Moving inward, the kitchen is bright and fully equipped with gas cooking, a dishwasher, and a concealed coffee station stocked with a Nespresso machine, mugs, and a kettle. Beside it, the dining area centres around a large timber table and an upright piano, creating a warm space for family dinners.
Each bedroom is designed for comfort with thoughtful touches. The primary bedroom offers a king bed, a decorative fireplace, and twin wardrobes. The second bedroom features two single beds, a decorative fireplace, and a staircase leading to the upper loft. Upstairs, the open loft retreat is divided into two zones: a queen bedroom and a games lounge with a sofa, TV, and foosball table. The main bathroom and laundry sit conveniently near the kitchen, fitted with a bathtub, shower, vanity, washer, and toilet. A second separate toilet adds extra convenience.
The home is serviced by ducted evaporative cooling, with vents in every room, including the bedrooms, living, dining, and kitchen areas. For effective cooling, windows and main doors should remain open with screen doors closed to allow air to circulate. Ceiling fans offer additional comfort, and a gas heating radiator in the living area provides warmth during cooler months. Free street parking is available nearby.
Please note that in the loft retreat, overhead skylights and a glass floor panel fill both levels with natural light, meaning the room isn’t fully block-out and not ideal for unsupervised children. The skylight may rattle in windy conditions. Access to the upstairs loft bedroom is via the staircase located in the second bedroom. The property is part of a duplex and features a long corridor connecting all rooms.
During your stay, you and your group will have the entire house to yourselves. Please make yourselves at home!
Set along Adelaide’s western coastline, Henley Beach South offers a relaxed seaside atmosphere with everything close at hand. The beach lies directly out front, inviting morning swims, sunset strolls, and long coastal walks along the Esplanade. Wander about ten minutes on foot to Henley Square, a lively hub of cafés, restaurants, and bars — from brunch at Nauti Buoy to sunset drinks at the Henley Beach Hotel, all within easy reach. Stroll a little further to the seaside dining scene, home to renowned spots like Joe’s Henley Beach, Secrets by the Sea, Stella, and Cheeky Greek. The coastal boardwalk connects Grange and Glenelg for scenic seaside walks or cycling, while nearby supermarkets, bakeries, and local shops provide everyday convenience. West Beach Adventure, Glenelg Golf Club, and Adelaide Airport are all within a short drive, keeping beachside living effortlessly connected.
