Marryatville is a suburb to the east of Adelaide's central business district. Along with neighbouring Heathpool, it is part of the City of Norwood Payneham St Peters whereas all the suburbs around it, with the exception of Kensington are in Burnside City Council.

The Marryatville Shopping Centre is located at 242–248 Kensington Road. It includes a Woolworths supermarket, newsagent, butchery, liquor store, Bakers Delight bakery, yogurt shop, pharmacy, cafe and a Noodle Box Asian takeaway store.

The shopping centre was redeveloped in 2005–06 when the existing BI-LO supermarket was demolished and rebuilt.

Several other retail outlets, including a service station, hotel and Indian restaurant, a cinema and professional rooms, are in the immediate vicinity.

Marryatville High School, notable for its music program, is located within the suburb. The school was formerly Norwood Boys Technical School until it was renamed and opened to both sexes in 1976.

Marryatville was settled in the 19th century by the Scarfe family, whose name later became associated with South Australian retailer Harris Scarfe. Eden Park, the grand two-storey Victorian house the family built, is now used as the high school's Year 12 campus; and the timber stables, a short distance away, have been converted into a music centre.

In 2005 Marryatville's Performing Arts Centre, The Forge, was opened. It serves as a performance area for year 11 and 12 Drama Productions and is also used by outside theatre groups. The film Hey Hey It's Esther Blueberger (released 2008) included several scenes filmed at Marratville High School.

The local state primary school, Marryatville Primary School, is actually located in the adjacent suburb Kensington.
