Old Pirates Cottage

Originally built in 1879, the cottage has been beautifully renovated and decorated to create the perfect rustic retreat for the single traveler, couples, or families. The Old Pirates Cottage combines peace and quiet with character and convenience. The cottage offers a little oasis of calm. The artistic décor includes an eclectic mix of natural materials, vibrant colours, and original artwork in a wonderful blend of old and new. There is even a stunning beach landscape mural in the bathroom painted by Adelaide artist (and son of the owners) Ned Bajic. Step through the front door and into a world of artistic ambiance. This fully furnished cottage has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The living areas are warm and welcoming, the generously sized kitchen is well equipped, and there are two double bedrooms. A sofa bed is included for an additional guest. Guests are also encouraged to make the most of the delightful private rear garden, complete with a bar and barbeque. In winter, the cottage is a cosy and inviting hide-away; in summer, it offers a welcome respite from the heat. The cottage is close to the beautiful and unspoilt beach at Semaphore where you can also enjoy a ride on the historic carousel. Semaphore Road is alive with popular cafes and charming shops.
