Stay at Robe

Lovely little cottage, close to main shops,off street parking, lots of crockery was provided but could do with more mugs, door to bathroom should have larger gap at bottom to allow exhaust fan to work properly, main bed was very comfortable complete with electric blanket

Beautiful cottage

Great little cottage with all the amenities you could need. The bed was extremely comfortable. The only negative is that the shower is over the bath & was a bit of a tight squeeze as the bath is narrow & I kept bumping my arm or shoulder on the soap holder as I was washing my hair.

Great location. Easy short walking distance to everywhere in town. We conveniently met one of the hosts on arrival and he was extremely friendly and helpful.We went to Sky Seafoods and paired the local prawns we purchased with some groceries we purchased at Foodland and a wine from the Woodsoak cellar door in town. So simple but brilliant in the outdoor space.

Perfect location

Easy walking distance to all Robe has to offer; cottage was ideal for just two of us -secluded back garden for breakfast in the early sun, comfy bed after a hard day sunbathing, cosy & cool lounge room to recharge. House had everything needed for a short stay.

Stylish, historic and great location

Aunty Anne's Cottage is stylish and comfortable, very easy to live in and beautifully central to Robe township-yet still quiet and restful. We had a lovely stay. Contacts with our host were all helpful, clear and friendly and we look forward very much to returning before long.

Fabulous little cottage in heart of Robe

This gorgeous cottage is very welcoming and cosy. The rooms are delightfully furnished and a couple have views out to the owners lovely garden. The beds are very comfortable and we appreciated the option of an electric blanket. The kitchen was well provisioned and we had everything we needed, Janette, our host was very helpful and responsive to questions. Auntie Annie's Cottage is only a couple of minutes walk from the main street of Robe so able to walk to many of the shops and restaurants rather than taking the car. A lovely spot and highly recommended.

Windy but wonderful

Auntie Annie's Cottage is charming, historic, stylish, comfortable, convenient, quiet, easy to live in and beautifully located for exploring Robe and beyond. Shops, cafes, wine tastings and sites of historic interest are a very short stroll away and the beach and marinas easy to reach. Even in unseasonably cool, windy weather we were very happy there. The hosts are friendly and thoughtful but absolutely not intrusive. This was a return stay for us and we certainly hope to return again.

cold and uninviting

The house was below what was comfortable. The weather was cold and windy. The door in the kitchen allowed masses of cold air in so that it was impossible to keep the cottage warm. The other windows and doors also leaked cold air. There was no DVD player so we could not watch any of the movies we bought. We messaged the owners about this with no response. They did not seek to connect with us during our stay. There was no warm welcome - or thoughtful provisions. The kettle was black inside and took two days to get clean. There was no strong table light by the couch to be able to read a book or to do cross stich sewing.

Quaint historic cottage

Annie’s cottage is a lovely cottage with loads of charm and character. Two bedrooms, a lovely lounge and a cosy kitchen are all decorated with antiques and there are the obligatory holiday bits and pieces such as books, board games etc. The cottage is attached to the owner’s home via a glass atrium and there is a shared courtyard - which is no problem at all - but I mention it just as an FYI. The bathroom has a shower over the bath - but a handy rail means that access would suit most abilities- but it probably is not well suited to the elderly or those who might have limited mobility. The cottage is one block back from the main street of Robe and it would hard to find a more central location. We really enjoyed our stay at Annie’s Cottage and hope to return.

Charming mid-winter home-from-home

Aunty Annie's historic cottage is beautifully presented: modernised 'just enough', very stylish, comfortable and convenient. Even at Midwinter it was easily warmed and had everything we could want for a delightful short stay in Robe. The location is extremely convenient, our host was friendly and helpful and, even though the weather was very mixed, it made for an excellent stay in this lovely seaside town.
