We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The cottage was very homely, nestled in the historic area of town and a short walk to get coffee etc. The cottage had excellent amenities which everything you could think of available. It was wonderful to light the fire of an evening. Thanks for a fabulous family stay, we loved it!

This is the second time we have stayed at The Cottage and once again we were not disappointed. This place has everything you need and a very clean and well presented home. The fireplaces add to the cottage feel, with all the modern cons to support a relaxing stay.For us though, it was the view from the deck with a warm cup of tea in the morning and evening. It is very quiet and the short walk from town makes its location perfect.The bed was comfy and the modern kitchen (with stocked pantry) was perfect for those stay at home meals after a day of traveling. This place will definitely be our go to Stayz when heading to Albany. Love it!

Cosy winter

We absolutely loved staying at Cliff st Cottage. It is beautifully decked out with everything you could need. Staying during winter meant we had the added bonus of lighting the fire place which added to our cosy retreat experience. The location is great - easy to get to and close by to multiple attractions. Would definitely recommend!

A Relaxing and Enjoyable Stay

Have been holidaying in Albany for 30 years and this was by far the most enjoyable. Everything you could possibly need was provided at the cottage making it a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The garden and location were amazing and we are so grateful that we could bring our fur baby. Will definitely be back.

bad experience

1. property is to hard to drive in and out. 2. too steep to walk from parking to house for older people. I am 70 years old, and I had difficulty to step in the shower because the shower is over a bad tub. 3. no armchair to sit and the lounge seats are too low for older people. 4. bed were on good for me. 5. we stay 1 night out of 4 nights that i had booked.

Perfect holiday home

We were very comfortable here in this beautiful cottage with our three young children. They loved walking to the farmers markets and the views of King George sound ,playing in the beautiful garden as well as the chalk board and craft drawer. Tanya has thought of every tiny detail and we very much appreciated the beach bags and towels being handy for an impromptu beach trip. We enjoyed the several different seating areas and fire in the evening. We have made some lovely family memories here :) highly recommend.
