time travel into an visual artist’s imaginary world
a most wondrous experience of vintage charm! Monica’s apartment is peppered with drop dead gorgeous time pieces from the 50ies to the 70ies that altogether make this place a real gem. If you like colour, charm, charisma and a hint of kitsch, if you love eclectic furniture and value comfort, cosiness and a superb beachside location, Monica’s place is for you. If you prefer sleek minimalist white new apartment uniformity, not so much. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, cooked up a storm in the kitchen, had many a vinos by the pool, borrowed a bicycle and even received fresh flowers and lemons off the tree. Loved every minute. Thank you Monica - a place to make memories. Can’t wait to come back.

GREAT HOSTESS, lovely atmosphere
Just 2 streets from the beach, quiet street, peaceful atmosphere. Walking distance to food & other shops. Just PERFECT for our Easter break. Highly recommend our hostess who made sure nothing was amiss... including the bath lotion! We'll be back!

Bliss in Semaphore
Staying in Semaphore is always such a pleasant trip back in time; so much evidence of its glorious past remains on show. This house is an ideal base for a nostalgic seaside Semaphore experience in terms of both location and decor. Only around the corner from both the beach and the delights of Semaphore Rd, this home is ideally situated. And the quirky retro decor throughout the property was so much fun to discover. Monica was an outstanding host. She couldn't have done more or gone out of her way more to look after and accommodate us. Nothing was too much trouble and we are very grateful. The outside/pool area was such a great space for relaxing and entertaining. Highly recommended. We can't wait to come back!

Perfect getaway - brilliant location
We loved our time at the "Sea Retro Getaway" It was exactly what we needed. A place to just chill out and slow down. Everything we needed was only just a short walk away. The pool area was perfect to relax and put your feet up. Monica was only to pleased to help with what ever questions we had. I would highly recommend this home to anyone wanting to stay in the area.

Dissappointed
Good location Comfortable bed Not suitable for dogs as there is no back yard. No vacuum cleaner, broom, dust pan, fry pan, tongs, hair dryer… Gas heater not working. Box air cond/ heater above front door too high to reach without standing on stool. One bin liner for 12 night stay. No info on where bins were or collection day. Four attempts of communication with landlord unanswered. Retro theme is interesting but poorly executed. No smoke alarm or fire extinguisher. Dodgy renovations including plugs and wiring. Can not recommend for dogs

The Sixties Retreat
Stepped back into the 1960s in this lovely setting, only 2 streets from Semaphore Beach in a quiet location. Neat, clean, with lovely touches like fresh toothbrushes and REAL milk in the fridge. Absolutely loved it. We'll be back for sure. Monica, our host, just wanted to please. Fabulous and caring. An easy lifestyle, and a great night's sleep.

This is the 3rd time We have stayed at Monica’s bnb. We keep coming back and 1 of the reasons is because of the property owner Monica, she’s very welcoming and positive and always greets us with a smile and she is super helpful. Strongly suggest anyone that is travelling around this way to stay here because it’s such a relaxing vibe. Thanks heaps Monica Jake and Karol
