Whenever I decide to dabble in a little luxury I choose the North Adelaide Heritage Group and this time it was the Fire Station Inn. Being in the business myself I find it hard to enjoy some properties as I’m always picking out things that could be done differently.

The Residency Penthouse Apartment takes you back to a time of grandeur from the moment you walk in the door. The French doors that open up to an extremely large open planning living kitchen/dining room with high ceilings and classical music playing from the radio to set the mood.

Great secure parking with a remote control gate at the rear is a great addition and a REAL King Size bed instead of a King Split that everyone offers these days .

Although no one is at the property to greet you there is a Welcome Letter that clearly tells you where everything is and how to work everything as well. The welcome letter also gives you the numbers to call should you require anything else during your stay. A welcome phone call from Rodney (owner) was a pleasurable addition also and shows that the owners really care about their guests.
So a special thankyou to Rodney and Regina for yet another great stay and I guess I should be in touch soon to book one of your amazing cottages to mark the date for the third time again next year.

Unfortunately i dont have the photo's to upload at the moment but well worth the stay !

Kind Regards

We stayed in the Penthouse Suite occupying the whole top floor.
Spacious and welcoming, huge bedrooms, lovely furnishings, and for once in my travels 2 x 3 seater couches which made it extremely comfortable and a great outdoor balcony.
We were very plesantly suprised to recieve a daily housekeeping service, lots of breakfast, tea and coffee provisions.
Heaps of information was provided for day trips and attractions, the owner was very helpful and reccomended some great services which we used and were pleased with.
Great location just 1 minute to lovely shops and a huge varity of cafes and restaurants.
Very close to the CBD, yet in a quieter street, although planes flew overhead t it was not excessively noisy.
In summary if you are looking for a private, spacious, charachter property Fire Station Inn is good value for $350 per night.

I booked this place as a treat to my partner, who as a volunteer rural firefighter, loves his fire engines and memorabilia. We also love sharing a spa, so when I found a fire station and a gorgeous spa suite (Loggia Suite), I knew I was on to a winner!
And sure enough, my partner was blown away. My only disappointment was that I didnt get to take him through the front door where it would have been instantly noticable that we were in a real fire station. Instead we had our own private entrance and carpark which made up for such a small negative.
We will definitely be back if we come to Adelaide again! After all, there are two more rooms to try out!

My husband and I had a very similar experience at the Fire Station Inn. After reading so much about it, written by journalists all over Australia we just had to try it to celebrate my birthday.
The Fire Engine suite lived up to all our expectations and more....
It had a very authentic feel about it with enormous attention to detail.
Wow, what a wonderful building.
We had ordered a romantic shorts package which included breakfast provisions and a bottle of sparkling shiraz - we both enjoyed the bubbles. We even dressed up in the original Fire Engine suit for fun.
We are going to tell all our friends about this quirky and fun experience.
