Glenelg homes you can take for six weeks.

Furnished, bills included, and the agreement runs exactly as long as you need it to.

a hotel nighta 12-month lease

One week to 24 months is what EzyFlats rents in Glenelg. Most stays land between one and twelve weeks, which is the part of the year hotels price badly and agents will not let you have.

What counts as a medium-term rental?

Australian renting is built around two extremes. Short-stay platforms are priced by the night and get punishing past about a month. Traditional agencies want twelve months, a rental history and a queue of applicants at a Saturday inspection. Neither fits someone who needs somewhere to live in Glenelg for six weeks.

Medium-term is the space in between — typically one to twelve weeks, though it stretches from a single week to two full years. The home comes furnished with bills included, the agreement is written and signed digitally, and the term is whatever you actually need.

Medium-term agreements in South Australia

In South Australia, EzyFlats is a licensed real estate agency (RLA 346573). Stays of 60 days or longer are written up as a Residential Tenancy Agreement and the bond is lodged with Consumer & Business Services, exactly as it would be through any agent — with none of the inspection queue.

Staying in Glenelg

Glenelg is Adelaide's most popular bayside suburb, sitting 11km southwest of the CBD on the eastern shore of Gulf St Vincent. The suburb's defining axis is Jetty Road — a long, two-lane retail and dining strip running from the Bay Discovery Centre on the foreshore east to Brighton Road — and the Holdfast Bay foreshore itself, which carries a substantial summer tourist flow plus a steady year-round local population. Glenelg has a distinct social character compared to most Adelaide suburbs: holiday-villa heritage, a strong retiree population, beach-oriented young professionals, and a substantial hospitality workforce supporting the foreshore precinct. The Glenelg Tram (running directly down Jetty Road and continuing to the CBD) is the most visible feature, and one of the easiest commutes in Adelaide — Victoria Square is reachable in 25 minutes. Housing stock is mixed: post-war and 1960s villa-style apartments behind the foreshore, Federation and inter-war houses in the streets further inland, and newer apartments around Marina Pier. Walk Score in the core is high — Jetty Road, the foreshore, the tram and the marina are all walkable from most rentals. The Marina Pier dining precinct (built around the Patawalonga lock) sits at the southern end of the foreshore. Typical furnished tenants are inbound corporate transferees seeking a beach-lifestyle base, retirees in long-stay apartments, hospitality workers connected to the foreshore precinct, and visiting healthcare staff at the Repatriation Hospital and the Flinders Medical Centre 15 minutes south. Adjacent precincts include Brighton (smaller, quieter, less foreshore retail), Somerton Park (more residential) and Glenelg North (cheaper, walking distance to the same foreshore amenities).

Medium-term rentals in Glenelg — common questions

How long is a medium-term rental in Glenelg?

Medium-term sits between a short stay and a standard residential lease — longer than a holiday booking, shorter than a twelve-month commitment. On EzyFlats in Glenelg that means anything from one week to 24 months, and most stays run between one and twelve weeks.

How is it different from a short-term rental?

Short-stay platforms price by the night and get expensive past about a month, with cleaning and service fees stacked on top. A medium-term rental is priced weekly, includes bills, furniture and Wi-Fi, and comes with a written agreement rather than a booking confirmation.

Do I need to sign a 12-month lease?

No. That is the point of the category. You commit to the term you actually need in Glenelg — a week, a season, or up to two years — with no rollover and no lock-in.

What is included?

Every home is fully furnished with bills and Wi-Fi included, so there is nothing to connect, buy or move in. Listings are pre-screened and every landlord is ID-verified.

How is my money protected?

Bond lodged with SA Consumer & Business Services. Rent is processed through Stripe, and the Move-In Guarantee refunds your first week's rent and service fee if the property does not match its listing.
