Hi, We move down in January and have a short term rental sorted for a month or so. We absolutely cannot wait!!!!! Looking for a three bedroom place in the South East area, Coromandel Valley, Blackwood, Belair etc for at least a year as the wee one has a school place there. Bit early for securing anything yet via the usual places, Real Estate and domain etc, so looking to see if anyone has contacts or any indication of breaking leases etc in that general area. It would need to accept two moggies which are basically house cats now. A place with a pool is the dream for us but not a must at this point. Anyone with any suggestions, experience, it's all getting a bit close now....... Thanks very much!! Doc

Hi, Scottish family moving to Adelaide January 2016. Looking for 3 bed long term rental in Semaphore Park area as jobs lined up on the peninsula. In process of selling up property in UK now, may need to consider rental that allows 2 small house cats if wife decides they are coming!! Furnished/part furnished may be preferable initially until stuff arrives. Any advice suggestions welcome re breaking leases or how best to go about this as total newbies!! Visited in March and love it, fantastic city, feel very lucky to be moving there, can't wait but nervous about the usual things. Thanks Ian

We are heading down for job interviews prior to move down in the summer. Need a rental for 3 adults 1 child (grandad coming over to help out) from 3-20 March. Anywhere Coastal North to South considered if rate right. Looking at stayz and the usual places, but thought would check on here as well. thanks Ian

Sounds good. Thanks.

My first post on here having finally got our visa last week. How much of a stress was that!! Been checking the various posts on here for a while and found a lot of stuff really useful. We are not alone....... Anyway, we are now in the process of applying for jobs before moving down. Reccee planned etc later in the year, maybe start next year depending on timings. Will look for a short term furnished holiday let for a month or so. Nothing unusual in any of this. I possibly could be based in the taperoo area for a year or so initially so am now looking towards long term rental in this area, west beach, semaphore, Henley, west lakes area. We had thought we would be based in the southern suburbs so this is a bit if a change of plan. We have not researched semaphore, Largs Bay Area etc before so are looking for a steer - any general thoughts re these areas in terms of best suburbs in this area to arrive/integrate? any experience re good state primary schools in these areas - we might now need to consider ones with some pre and after school clubs, albeit, if we can locate into this area our commute won't be too bad etc anyone with experience of other suburbs near to taperoo, Peterhead etc generally that we should specifically research and consider. You think you have problems waiting for the visa grant, only to find you have a whole list of new worries! Don't get me wrong, it's a great worry to have and we are very lucky and feel very grateful. sorry for length of first post - just wanted to get it all out there. thanks Doc

Hi gary, We stay in Rothienorman and are literally waiting for the visa to drop any day now. Yeah we also went for the SS 190 visas. We plan to go November ish for three weeks or so to look at schools, rentals etc. We are looking at the southern suburbs, port noralunga, marino, etc, but also considering flagstaff hill and Aberfoyle park etc as we have friends there. We have a five and a half year old girl just started P2, but there are so many schools both state and private that the choice is tricky. All being well, looking for a move very early 2015, but you can never quite be sure. cheers ian and Clare

Hi, my wife daughter and I are waiting for a visa grant any day and looking to move down early next year. Reccee in November. Were from just outside Aberdeen.
