Description

My wife and I are artists too, so we know exactly what you like when you perform at festivals. That is why we've created a beautiful, and relaxing space for you with a swimming pool, gym, cafe, Woolworths, & bottle shop all within the building, or a two minute walk away.

You will also be able to do your laundry, cook your own meals, or just sit on the balcony overlooking the pool whilst having a glass of wine.

The Art Retreat apartment is only an 8 minute drive to the hub of the fringe, or you could walk there in 30 minutes. Public transport is also right outside your door.

There is 1 private bedroom, plus there's a sofa in the main living area, so it can easilly accommodate 3 artists. You will also have FREE wifi, plus streaming services on the TV.

You can easilly rehearse in the room, or go and sit by the pool and fire up a BBQ whilst you work out your setlist.

A cafe / restuarant is located at the reception area, and does lovely coffee, plus some great meals for $19.00. Indian, Italian, Japanese restuarants etc... are only two minutes away from you too

You will have your own keys to the building, so you can come and go as you desire....

There's a library / post office nearby if you require photocopying, plus the Sussex pub is only 4 minutes away by foot.

There are also free tennis courts, and a linear track if you want to walk, or cycle by the river.

As fellow artists, we know that having a fantastic place to come back to after your shows makes the whole festival experience so much better. This is not just somewhere to park your head at night, but a place that you'll want to stay on for a well deserved rest after your big festival performances.

About You

My wife and I performed with the BordererS for 31 years. We also had a kids show called 'Ticklish Allsorts'. Both of these acts toured the world and performed at countless festivals.

In regards to hobbies: we like to hire bikes when we're in a new city, and can let you know where to obtain free bikes for the day. You also have the botanic gardens to walk around in, the Adelaide Oval, plus the Gov (which has been voted the best music venue in Australia so many times).

When we performed at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, we also booked someone's entire home. It was so lovely to come back to after shows, as it had a pool, BBQ and a piano in the living room. Our kids just loved swimming in the pool, having lunch outside, and they had their own bedrooms etc...

We live only 10 minutes away from the Art Retreat, so can be with you in a very short space of time if you need assistance.

If you need help with advertising your show, then we can also send out a mass email on your behalf, as our band still has thousands of fans on it's email list.

Can also advise you of great places to visit whilst you're in town. Wineries, beaches, museums etc...
