Allotment Cottage - Central location, walk to cafes, restaurants and winebars.

Our lovingly restored worker's cottage in Old Albany is minutes away from the cafes, restaurants and bars of central Albany. The cottage combines elegance and luxury with a relaxed bohemian feel. Morning sunshine streams through the open kitchen, living and dining space which opens on to an enclosed garden and courtyard. In the colder months, there's a fireplace and a deep bath for winter comfort. All bedrooms are spacious, with quality linens and the kitchen well appointed for self catering. 2 queen bedrooms and a bunk room are downstairs with a shared bathroom. Upstairs is a private retreat with queen bed, walk-in-robe and ensuite bathroom. A front verandah faces to the street and is a great place to soak up the afternoon sunshine. The enclosed back courtyard extends from the living/dining area and looks over the chicken coop where our happy girls forage during the day. The house block is surrounded by vegetable gardens, fruit trees and lawn and kids will love our "city farm". They're welcome to join us to collect the eggs if you see us about.

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!

Beautiful place ….
Cottage with wonderful modern and roomy modern addition on the backside. Beautiful courtyard … generous supply of tasty breakfast items. Walking distance to boutique shops and restaurants. Must try Mujaba Bistro for lunch or dinner. We loved this place … even comes with a few chickens.

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.
