You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Gairdner Cottage - something a bit different!

Enjoy a unique experience in this funky pad with EV charger for guests on a residential lot close to CBD and the medical hub of Albany.

Despite being diminutive, Gairdner Cottage is fully equipped, has a lusciously comfortable queen bed, a north facing deck with semi-rural view off open plan living/dining, and a fully enclosed rear yard.

Here you can cosy down and sleep well while enjoying privacy of your own space and having your dog with you while you are away.

Further afield, gorgeous coastal scenery, inland mountain ranges, bush and beach walks will refresh and inspire you.

Suitable for couples or single person only.

Cute and convenient
Perfect location for our overseas visit with family. Nice to have washer/dryer on-site which made packing for trip so much easier.

Great stay in a lovely little town
We really enjoyed our stay at Gairdner Cottage. It was a perfect short stop for us on our long road trip from Alice Springs to Perth. We felt really at home, especially having our furbabies with us. The house was well equipped, clean with a comfortable bed. We really enjoyed exploring Albany and hope to come back for a longer stay in the future.

Perfect for a simple get away
A small but well-prepared house. Includes all the facilities one could realistically want. Owners were extremely helpful. We will stay there again.

Very clean and extremely comfortable bed
For just me and my little dog it was perfect. Very clean. The mattress was so comfortable I took a photograph of the make and brand and ordered one as soon as I hit home.
