The property is amazing, a well thought out church building conversion. Very comfortable, had everything we needed (and more) for a 5-day stay. Fully set up kitchen which allowed us to self-cater. Comfortable couches and bed. Bath, separate shower, washing machine and dryer. Lovely decorative touches throughout. Karin is a excellent host - nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend both property and host.

Karin was very helpful as the host and willing to help if we needed anything. Only downside for us the house has 3 bedrooms with queen size beds which made it difficult to share amongst 4 guys but we survived. If it is going to cater for 7 guests then definitely needs an additional toilet and bathroom.

Just want to say the place was fantastic and absolutely charming, we loved it. The place was perfect for me and a couple of mates for our annual getaway. The rooms are an excellent size, great tv, wifi that works, good sized fridge for drinks, easy access, plenty of parking and close to town.
Karin was extremely helpful in making our stay awesome.
Thanks for a great weekend, 5 stars all round

We loved our church stay it was a great experience we will talk about for years. There's so much effort gone into every detail, from the heritage plates to eat from and crystal glassware to the batch brew coffee. The artefacts throughout the space and the church history information left for us was a journey in itself! Only wish we could open a window for fresh air, but the air conditioning worked perfectly fine. This is an experience everyone should have once in their lives, thanks Karin you were a lovely host.

A very special place in Adelaide
Karin’s place is a very special stay full
of character and history. The tapestry and wall pictures tell of the richness of the early church. One can feel the warmth and pride Karin takes to make her place welcoming to her guests. Each room is differently decorated with a lot of details that show her thoughtfulness to make your stay comfortable. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our week here.

Maylands
The Maylands St. Marks church retreat oozes character and history which sets it apart from your typical B&B accommodation. It is in a quiet area and only a short walk to the local pub for a feed or a 10 minute walk to the Parade Norwood.
Karin was a wonderful host and could recite the historical milestones with this church.
We would stay again and would recommend this to others.
Thank you for having us.

Outstanding Accommodation
We had the pleasure of staying in this amazing converted church over the weekend and it was possibly the best accommodation we have ever stayed in. A very roomy, beautifully decorated and scrupulously clean apartment in a very convenient location.The apartment has every possible amenity to make your stay as comfortable as possible plus it is walking distance to The Parade with its plethora of fantastic cafes and shops . The lovely host is helpful and accommodating and responds quickly to messages. I cannot fault this beautiful quirky accommodation. We will be coming back if not for the accommodation alone!

This is an incredible place to stay
We arrived late, everything was laid out for us to make our stay comfortable
There was even milk in the fridge for our morning coffee, which I might add there was three ways to brew your coffee which was supplied. All literature for the surrounding area plus places of interest. Our host was always available to assist us with any queries.
This is an experience to stay here.
Because of the thick walls your sleep is uninterrupted very quiet.
We are also owners of a five star location and yes they have found the right combination to make a travelers stay enjoyable. We will be back.

Hidden comfort in Maylands
This is a lovely place to stay. Very quiet location, but still close to the City. The online photos are accurate, but add to that the small things - attention to detail, home baked welcome cookies and 3 types of coffee maker! The beds not only look nice, but are super comfortable. It's a rare day that you find such a comfortable bed and sleep on the first night!
Will definitely stay again.

Fantastic warm inviting sanctuary, a MUST STAY
Wow, from the moment we arrived we knew we had found the most perfect place.peaceful, relaxing, beautiful, picturesque yet close to city. Karin really is the hostess with the mostess. Close by if you need her, but leaving you with your ultimate privacy otherwise. We would highly recommend to anyone the most enjoyable stay at St. Mark's. Thank you, we would definitely come back.

Heavenly!
What an extraordinary property - oozing with character, beautifully decorated and thoughtfully equip with absolutely every lovely and practical thing a guest could possibly desire.
Karin is the most divine hostess you could possibly encounter - friendly, kind and generous in her advise and welcome. Not enough superlatives to describe how lovely it was to stay in this stunning piece of history.
