Knock knock!
Who's back?!
Me me me!
Hello everyone...
Please bear with my sudden addiction to keep writing.
I'm not sure what kind of disease this is.
But it keeps me agitated that I just got to be back ASAP.
I guess once I run out of topic I should be back to normal.
So do keep praying for the time to come soon.
Like REAL soon.
One may just wonder what else will I be talking about this time.
Wonder no more people...here goes.
In this third installment, I think I'll just blab about something easy.
During the 5 days, we spent our night at four different places.
Both of us are grateful for the existence of booking.com.
It made life so much easier.
Oh wait, it didn't.
It made just the booking of the rooms much easier.
Other than that life's pretty much the same.
After spending lots and lots and lots of time comparing and reviewing we finally decided and booked about a month before the trip.
Both of us were so busy that we had to ensure it is done way earlier or we will end up wandering around like zombies with a luggage in tow.
Hahahah enough of crapping back to the topic.
However I need to make it clear that the experience we had might differ from others.
So here is my part of the story and I'm not fabricating.
Our first stay was at Hostel 109 located along Carrington Street.
I like this place for many reasons.
The staff at the reception was super nice and friendly.
He guide us around the hostel and provide us all the infos we need to know ( read : Door Code and Wifi Password ).
The room was not that spacious but sufficient.
Thank God that we are two little girls.
So not a major problem, we fit in perfectly.
There was also computer area to surf the internet.
I find that area as sacred as I spent quite some time googling the route to the next destination.
Located near to the City Centre was another plus point.
We walked all the way back from Rundle Mall the first night out.
There was also ample of parking spaces but you will have to pay on weekdays and Saturdays.
Free parking on Sundays.
You can easily find a convenient store, petrol station, and cafes around the area.
If you don't mind the walk, like the both of us, you will love the place.
At Hahndorf, we opted to stay at The Manna Hahndorf.
I have to say that it is the most posh room out of all four that we booked.
It was so perfect that both of us chose to stay in most of the time.
The deco of the room was simple yet there's a touch of elegance.
In its simplicity, it is also very rich.
I'll let the picture do the talking.
The room look exactly the same as in the picture.
We got the chance to watch some shows on TV and we enjoy that.
There was also a toaster and water heater that I utilised to prepare breakfast.
Other than that there was a mini fridge, iron and iron board as well as hairdryer.
Parking space was plenty and free.
Upon leaving, we wished to stay there a little longer.
But time was against us and we find ourselves in Port Elliot about an hour later.
This time around, we booked a room at Port Elliot Beach House.
It really lives up to the name as there was really a beach right in front of the beach house.
The view was to die for.
I just can't get enough of the view.
It doesn't matter from which angle you are looking at, everything was breathtaking.
Aren't the room cute?
First thing both of us had in mind when we enter was "Awwww..."
The bed was so comfortable and we really enjoy the night we spent here.
The kitchen area was superb.
Same goes to the game and hang out area.
There was also a laundry room should you want to do your laundry.
After quite a long journey, it was worth every second.
In terms of cafes and places to dine there's only a few.
In case you plan to stay for long, don't forget to plan the meal as well.
The beach house do provide food coupons at the nearest cafe, but usually it will be fully booked.
It was during our stay so we opted for another nearby restaurant.
If you plan to cook, they have a convenient store down the street where you can easily buy stuffs.
Our last stay was actually laid out at the very last minute.
We didn't really plan to stay for the night.
The initial plan was to hang out until late night and make our way straight to the airport.
As we looked back, the idea seems absurd and we booked the last available room at Glenelg Beach Hostel.
Just like the previous stay, it is situated close to the beach.
Only thing, we went to the beach on our first day upon arrival.
So the beach no longer excite us.
Hahahaha.
Nothing much to talk about the place.
It was just for us to sleep before heading to the airport first thing in the morning.
It is kinda like a mansion when you're inside.
The room was okay.
We didn't expect much either.
But I love the toilet though it is a bit eerie if you are alone.
Main reason for choosing the place would have to be because of the availability of public transport in the area.
Just name it, everything is there; buses, cabs and tram.
In a nutshell, we enjoyed all of the rooms that we stayed in.
Though one may be better than another, there will always be pros and cons.
That is also a reminder that life is all about give and take.
You win some you lose some.
The one thing I love that applies at all the places we stayed in is the check out policy.
Before you leave, you are required to make up the bed and take off all the white sheets and place it at the mentioned area; it could be a bin, a room or a specific place.
It inculcate you with a sense of responsibility.
And that is something that I am more than happy to comply.
I guess that would be it for this post.
I have yet to talk on food and attractions in Adelaide.
Perhaps my next post would be on that.
Till then...
