Absolutely outstanding stay. The host had everything perfectly set up from the moment we walked in — nothing left to chance. The space was incredibly well organised, with thoughtful extras exactly where you need them, and the whole place was beautifully done. It felt polished, welcoming, and far above a typical rental.Check-in was effortless, the property was spotless, and every detail had clearly been considered. We felt completely looked after and would book again without hesitation. Highly recommended.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 September 2026
Gareth & Nikki, thank you so much for such a lovely review. At home, we’ve always loved opening our doors and entertaining friends and family, and when we started The Yellow Door we hoped we could bring a little of that same feeling to our guests. We weren’t quite sure how we’d take to short-term accommodation — turns out, we absolutely love it! We’re genuinely chuffed that, from your review, that sense of warmth and care seems to have shone through. It means a great deal to us. Thank you also for leaving the house so immaculate. We feel incredibly lucky to have guests like yourselves and would welcome you both back anytime. Doug Joel

Why they chose this property

We chose this part of Albany for its elevated harbour outlook and exceptional convenience. The town centre, cafés, restaurants and waterfront are all within easy reach, while the surrounding heritage streets retain a relaxed residential atmosphere. It is an ideal base for exploring Albany and the wider Great Southern.

What makes this property unique

The Yellow Door on Spencer blends the character of a renovated 1930s cottage with considered modern comfort. Original jarrah floors, high ceilings and exposed brickwork sit alongside a harbour-view window bar, refined interiors and the cottage’s distinctive yellow entrance. The flexible second bedroom can be arranged as two long single beds or prepared as a king when requested before arrival.
