Amity Dry's favourite homes in South Australia this week

812/19 Holdfast Promenade, Glenelg

It’s all about the spectacular views with this apartment, with a wrap around balcony making the most of the enviable beachfront position. You wouldn’t even have to get out of bed to wake up to the sparkling sea vistas, with views from almost every room. With Adelaide’s western coastline, sunsets over the ocean  would be magical.

You also have the restaurants and shops of Holdfast Shores and Jetty Rd on your doorstep, as well as the famous Beachhouse amusement centre for the young (or young at heart.) When you get tired of watching the beach volley ball, there’s an indoor pool, spa, gym and sauna in the complex to keep you busy. Then end the day in your home theatre room. Although, really, what could be better to watch than those sunsets?

6 Esplanade, Somerton Park

This is beachfront living for the whole family, set on 1070 square metres on Somerton Park’s Golden Mile. Extensively renovated in 2010 the home has plenty of luxury inclusions, yet still feels very casual and family friendly. The position is second to none, with front door steps down to the beach and a protected porch area for those cooler winter days.

The main bedroom has enviable sea views and the guest bedroom is perfectly positioned to look over the architecturally designed pool. Add to that a teenage retreat, pool room, wine room and security system with CC video surveillance and this is the perfect home for a relaxed beach-loving family. 

1201/25 Colley Terrace, Glenelg

This three-bedroom penthouse is resort living at its finest, with two levels of sea views. It feels a bit like a bachelor/bachelorette pad, with the  eight-person spa on the balcony and the winding staircase to the master suite!

Positioned on Colley Reserve, you have the park on one side and the beach on the other, so this is a great apartment for fitness buffs. There’s also a swimming pool and gym in the building and two underground secured car spaces.
