The cooked breakfast was fresh and delicious. The cottage was just as the photos on the website and was cosy, comfortable and quaint. It has beautiful gardens and I loved to watch the chooks roaming around during the day.The location was ideal, especially close to cafes, hotels, park and antique shops. I thoroughly recommend the Stables cottage.

Thank you so much for the review. Your stay, punctuated as it was with terrible winds and rain, and a power cut, probably wasn't as relaxing as you hoped. I hope to see you back again soon, so we can try again ! It was a pleasure having you stay.

Old World Charm

Heather and Graham are wonderful hosts who welcome you like old friends. The Stables Cottage in which we stayed was perfect for a couple. Lovely Old World charm with modern conveniences. The breakfast provisions were very generous. Tim Tams and port for the evening was a lovely extra. The gardens are beautiful and provide a quiet sanctuary. Highly recommend this lovely retreat.

An amazing place. Everything at Gasworks was of the highest standard and quality. The property and gardens are stunning, with so much room to walk, relax , watch the chickens or the wildlife around the running creek. So relaxing. Provisions for breakfast were generous and appreciated. The history of a bygone era has been maintained. Hosts Heather and Grant are so welcoming and friendly and happy to leave u to yourself or have a chat if u wish. Will definitely be going back, excellent value for the standard of this property.

Peaceful Tranquility

Great communication from Heather leading to the stay. The location was quiet and peaceful. The Gardens are beautiful and lively to walk around. Loved the spa. There was breakfast provisions on arrival and a nice tasting port. We did get into the township for coffee and a cheeky takeaway, however stayed mostly within the accommodation which was incredibly comfortable. It was lovely to meet Heather who was very polite and welcoming. Thank you for having us.

The hosts Graham and Heather were absolutely the most welcoming! They were lovely and respectful to my partner and I as well as giving us space to truly relax together comfortably. The stables cottage is gorgeous, all the amenities were amazing, the place was super clean and cozy and overall it was the most wonderful romantic getaway. The breakfast materials provided were also amazing!! My partner is lactose intolerant and they were super happy to provide us with oat milk instead of normal. We didn't do too much exploring of the area, the gardens at the cottages are beautiful though and the Pond seating area at the Victoria Hotel was lovely. We will absolutely be staying here again at some stage, really do recommend it for any couples looking for some romantic and relaxing time away :))

Unique Accomodation

The cottage was an historical, unique and cosy place to stay in our 3 nights in Strathalbyn. Well appointed, with plenty of local tips from the host re dining out and other activities. Perfect location( so close to town) and of course a short drive to the wine region of Langhorne Creek as well as the coastal areas. Loved the high quality breakfast provisions and the complementary Port. Perfect stay- loved it.

Centrally located, historical accommodation in manicured gardens

Greeted on arrival by Heather who was very welcoming, and also by jake the resident dog. Accommodation was pleasant, although the neighboring property sits so close to the cottage (stables cottage) that we could hear everything going on next door, even just them talking. Unfortunately for us there were gatherings going on both nights next door so it was quite noisy into the night and first thing in the morning. Breakfast was provided however our milk was off, and I’m sure it would have been no drama to ask for more, but we decided to head out for breakfast instead. Personally I would have preferred our milk and especially meat products (bacon was supplied in snap lock bag) to be provided in original containers/packets to be able to determine best before dates. A suggestion for the cottage would be to have a full length mirror, perhaps behind the bedroom door. A beautiful cottage with amazing garden surrounds, it’s was a shame that the noise of the trucks on main road above and the noise from the neighbors reminded you that you weren’t alone. Another suggestion would be to have all of the chemicals and poisons out of sight next to the garage (where we parked our car) as for anyone that may have young children, this could potentially pose a risk.

We welcome feedback from all our guests as it helps us improve but unfortunately some situations such as a neighbours birthday party are unavoidable but saying that our neighbours are approachable and would have been happy to take the celebrations indoors if asked. I have moved the garden products back into the garage, they are normally put away but no children were staying and I was using them over that weekend. The fridge has been checked and temp adjusted as the milk was in date and ours was fine. We are happy for our guests to approach us with any issues, as after you leave nothing can be done.

Snug as a bug and cool as a cucumber!

Heather and Graham are warm and generous hosts who made our stay in their Manager’s Cottage a delight. We were able to day-trip to Victor Harbour and the fabulous vineyards, taking in all of the unforgetable scenery along the way. Each evening we returned to their magnificent garden, the cool and comfort of the cottage and the extra thoughtful homely comforts missing in many other stays. We highly recommend The Gasworks Cottages.

Heaven on Earth

What a lovely find, the cottages are beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. The gardens are luscious and well tended. The stream running through the gardens is a bonus. Our hosts Heather and Graham were a pleasure to deal with, making sure we were very comfortable and had everything we needed- we even enjoyed fresh eggs! We’re definitely planning on returning as soon and as often as possible. Thank you
