Perfect and very clean for a couple and a small dog!
I loved how clean it was! Aesthetically pleasing, comfortable with all the amenities! The back yard was pretty and perfect for our little dog Chester to run and snuffle around in.

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.

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.

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.
