The home was near the town centre so walking distance to everything.Host was fabulously engaged when we needed. They gave us a bounty of goodies to enjoy during our two day stay.Our dog had a yard to enjoy, plenty of walking nearby as well as a park, loved being with his people inside.The house is gorgeous. Very comfortable, heater in lounge perfect to keep the living spaces warm.We even got to see Lighting the Sound preparations unfold from the upstairs area from the windows.A worthy stay. We will be back

Beautifully presented house in an excellent location. Stunning interiors. We loved the visiting quendas (bandicoots), lovely chickens and the vegetable garden full of herbs. Loved the gardens full of climbing roses and fruit trees. Kitchen was great for cooking. Hosts were very attentive and helpful. We had a great stay, thank you.
Favourite reading spot.

What a gem in Albany!What a fantastic house - the photos honestly don’t do it justice! Beautifully presented, spacious, and full of character. The gas fire was perfect for those cool Albany nights, and the location couldn’t be better - just a short stroll to great coffee spots, restaurants, and local attractions. The Saturday Farmers Market is literally at the end of the street. We loved every minute of our stay and can’t wait to come back!

Best accommodation ever!

The property is just gorgeous! It was so lovely that we didn’t care at all that it poured for the first few days of our stay, the kids played with the trainer and fed the chickens and we played cards by the gorgeous fireplace. We can’t thank the hosts enough, it was beautiful!

A hidden gem

Strategically located in the town centre. Better than hotel with all the amenities! The property will certainly entertain the young and the old. The chooks and the vegie patch are always a hit daily!

Home away from home

A property where you can simply move in with your toothbrush. The house was tastefully furnished complete with all the creature comforts and necessities. I would highly recommend this property for all families big and small. Despite only myself, my partner and our little one (mini schnauzer) that stayed for 3 nights, the property goes beyond simply being a place of residence. We enjoyed ourselves in the XL bathtub, had our scrambled eggs from the chookpen behind the house, barbequed local fish in the al-fresco area with citrus from the garden. Even our little one found his favourite spot by the fireplace. To end it, a good night's rest in this well insulated house keeps us nice and fresh for a whole day of exploring Albany.

Warm and thoughtful welcome

The group of us (4 adults and 3 kids) thoroughly enjoyed ourselves staying at Louise and James' house. Upon arrival, we received a warm welcome with bread, wine, milk, fruit, chocolate, and eggs ready for our consumption, and a tour of the house and backyard. The house was very clean and had lots of interesting antiques and books. Our city kids loved spending time with the chickens. James also provided us with a very comprehensive list of places to visit, including attractions, cafes, and restaurants. We look forward to staying at Louise and James' house again, the next time we visit Albany.

Chrissy, Brett and Mavricks wee holiday ♥

My hubby and I loved the area and the park was just around the corner so was handy taking our boy for his morning and evening walks even though he came with us everywhere. Also walking distance to the cafes and pubs so it was easy to move around the town The cottage is stunning and very spacious including the bedrooms and bathrooms. Everything you need is in the kitchen and laundry and Louise even spoilt us with a bottle of Wine and treats when we arrived. Aside from sitting on the front verandah there is also a lovely back yard area where we sat under the fairy lights watching the chooks with a bottle of wine 🍷 as you do 😁 Would totally recommend this place and will definitely stay again.
