Accomodation recommendation

If you're ever in Adelaide you absolutely must stay at my brother-in-law's place in Campbelltown. They have a very comfortable mattress-on-the-living-room-floor-with-sleeping-bag arrangement and the best spaghetti bolognese ever. The toilet and bathroom are clean and well stocked, but you'll have to share them with six other people, so there is often a queue at bedtime. Throughout your stay you will be offered plenty of cups of tea, coffee and cold drinks accompanied by various snacks and, once the younger kids have gone to bed, there's chocolate.

Breakfast is a do-it-yourself affair, but there is plenty of choice and you have a full kitchen at your disposal. I opted for porridge followed by a cup of coffee and it really hit the spot. Other options include various breakfast cereals, toast with jam or vegemite and even bacon and eggs, but be prepared to clean up after yourself.

The location is superb with a park, playground and even a Torrens River walking trail, right across the street. It's a short walk to the Paradise Interchange and from there you can catch a bus to just about anywhere in Adelaide. Without looking at a timetable, I went into the city and out to Tea Tree Plaza a couple of times each, and I never had to wait longer than 15 minutes.

The whole house exudes a warm, welcoming atmosphere and I am very grateful to my brother-in-law and his family for their kind and generous hospitality. You guys rock!
