The Retreat West Beach Parks – A Favorite for Families in Adelaide

The Retreat West Beach Parks is set on 1.2 kilometers of coastline with direct beach access and a heated swimming pool that includes two water slides, five poolside cabanas, and 15 sun loungers. On-site guests have access to full-sized tennis courts, a jumping pillow, a sensory room, and a games room with arcade screens. The property also offers go-kart hire, a basketball court, an outdoor cinema, and a mini-golf course located right next door.

Accommodation options include deluxe self-contained units, villas, bungalows, and unique eco-tents called Safari Tents set on the edge of the park near the sand dunes. The Spinifex Shacks and Saltwater Shacks each come with a full kitchen, large living area, outdoor dining space with a private BBQ, and a washing machine. The Sundowner cabins offer a more traditional layout, while the Two-Bedroom Apartments and Two-Bedroom Villas provide extra space with balconies and modern fixtures.

Children have access to two playgrounds, a jumping pillow, and an extensive adventure area with go-karts and a climbing wall at the adjacent Adventure Park. The AquaCove features a heated pool with water slides, a small children's splash zone, and a fenced perimeter for safety. The property also provides a sensory room for children with autism and an outdoor cinema showing nightly movies on the grass.

On-site dining is available at the West Beach Patisserie and Eatery, and guests can use the communal BBQ facilities and picnic areas throughout the grounds. The property has a Poolside View function room that can host meetings, conferences, or celebrations for up to 55 guests. Secure on-site parking is accessible via boom gates operated by staff or guests, and the resort provides 24-hour security with CCTV in common areas.

The Retreat is a 5-minute drive from Glenelg Beach and Jetty Road shops, and 15 minutes from Henley Beach with its dining and retail options. Adelaide CBD is 15 minutes away by car, and the Adelaide Airport is less than 5 minutes from the property. Guests can also visit Harbour Town shopping center (15 minutes), Adelaide Zoo (30 minutes), and major South Australian wineries within a short drive.
