About this property

Nelson Cottage - relaxed retro, modern & original

Nelson Cottage is a refurbished 70s cottage home with a relaxed vibe, a fantastic mix of retro, modern and original influences throughout.

High on the Mir Mar scarp, it has views south to historic Mt Clarence, is centrally located between the Albany CBD and Middleton Beach, and is just 300m from Bluff Rock Reserve.

There is an EV charger for use by guests, open plan light and bright living, a fully equipped kitchen, super comfy queen size beds, and desk in a separate room for a home office space.

Outside, a wide north facing patio extends the full width of the home and forms part of an enclosable rear yard. Sunny in winter and cool in summer, the patio is a great place to enjoy a wine, hang out with kids or make provisions for your pooch.

A shed in the rear yard is used by owners for storage and may be accessed on occasions by them. Agreement to our quite firm Pet Policy and payment of a Pet Fee applies.

Juliette.... Hosting your stay at Nelson Cottage has been a delight. And I'm so impressed with how clean and tidy you left the cottage. No trace of doggy Dougall, and even very little of yourselves!

Presents nicely, pet friendly- although can’t leave dog inside unattended- this would be good to state on website. Good sized back yard, good amenities. Couldn’t get free pay TV to work. Loved the 60’s retro vibe.

Thanks for staying with us at Nelson Cottage. It has been a pleasure hosting your stay in Albany. I'm sorry about our firm pet policy, Tricia. Sadly our cottage has not been well looked after by pet owners previously, and we've had to tighten our expectations of pet management by our guests as a consequence.

Had an excellent 6 day stay with friends and our beloved labradoodle.Clear pet policy stating she could not be in house alone which is reasonable.Fabulous large secure yard and deep patio for shelter so was happy to be left during the day.I contacted Ryan from MadPaws app who looked after her a couple of evenings so we could stay out late.Great location/central to Albany highlights.We had great dog walks at Middleton and Emu Point.Plus a patch of bush and rock reserve 2 mins walk from the house which was perfect for a quick afternoon saunter.House was excellent.Nicely fitted out/reasonable beds.Wifi a bit flakey but I think an Albany issue as even Mobile data patchy.Overall a perfect spot to stay in Albany ( with or without your fur baby).

About the host

Hosted by Annie Brandenburg

Host profile image
I have been operating short stay accommodation since before STAYZ, VRBO and AIRBNB booking platforms started! Something I love doing and will continue to do for a long time yet. My other job is as a real estate agent. So....helping people move along in their lives, and to enjoy homes and nice spaces as they go, is just part of my nature.
