The Buxton Manor Apartments offer Adelaide's finest boutique accommodation in South Australia. This glorious turn-of-the-century mansion evokes a romantic Arts and Crafts aesthetic, featuring ornate red brick, steeply sloped rooflines, and beveled, diamond-shaped, leaded-glass windows. Set amidst manicured lawns, fragrant rose gardens, and complimentary BBQ facilities, Buxton Manor has been praised by Fodor's Guide to Australia for its resemblance to a gracious English country house. Each self-contained apartment provides a relaxing haven with a separate lounge, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom, complete with all necessary amenities. The apartments showcase Australian antique collectibles and memorabilia, complemented by gilt mirrors, polished spruce floors, decorative fireplaces, marbleized ceilings, and faux-painted finishes. Located on a quiet North Adelaide street, Buxton Manor offers convenient access to Adelaide's attractions, cafes, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. A free shuttle bus service runs every 15 minutes, 7 days a week, connecting to all city points. With its superb location, beautiful rooms, free Wi-Fi, and complimentary off-street parking, Buxton Manor Apartments presents an ideal choice for your Adelaide stay.
