Partridge House

Partridge House is a wonderful relaxing place have events, catch up with friends and family or to just sit in peace and quiet and and enjoy the sunshine. Weddings are quite popular here in the Summer time.
Dogs are allowed too.
The gates are locked at 10pm every night.

Partridge House at Glenelg is in no way connected to the 70’s TV show. Its not the home of the Partridge Family and there is no multi coloured bus parked anywhere within the vicinity — although it would be fun if there was.
Rather Partridge House is a beautiful old community home, originally built in 1899 for a Mrs Elinor Varley. The house is today set amidst stunning gardens and grounds and is used these days predominantly as a venue for weddings. Partridge house can also be hired for all sorts of events and is home to various community groups and organisations. If you’re looking at hiring the venue, it will seat 80 people for a sit down function or can take 130 for a cocktail party. Take special note of the fountain in front of the house as a location for you photos. It was donated to the owner by former Adelaide Mayor and state pollie, William Townsend back in 1877.
Fast forward a hundred years or so to the early 1970’s, in fact around the same time TV’s The Partridge Family was making it big, and there was talk of demolishing Partridge House and using the land to establish housing. Thank heavens, the then Glenelg Council decided to buy and restore the historic site instead.
The beautiful gardens and grounds are open to the public every day, but the house is closed.
