This beautiful old stone cottage (circa 1920) has been created into a beach retreat only a short stroll away from all the fun. A great place to unwind and relax and great walks close at hand. Only 400 metres to Long Beach and the beautiful meandering coastal path into town.

 The bathroom has a claw foot bath and separate shower. The central focus is the light filled lounge area with Smart TV, large couches and a wood fire for cosy nights. Wireless broadband internet provided.
The galley style kitchen and dining overlooks the private backyard which is fully enclosed and surrounded by beautiful old shrubs and fruit trees that provide shelter from the coastal elements.
Dine in style in the separate eating area. Double French doors open out to the paved outdoor entertainment area with BBQ and Market Umbrella in the summer.
We are dog friendly, one dog per booking unless prior arrangement.
The front verandah is gorgeous all year round. Cups of tea, lunch and afternoon drinks in the sunshine. In the summertime the shade from the trees is glorious. There is a small above ground water feature with statue in the front garden.

short stay at the lovely Williamstone Cottage

Had a lovely break at charming Williamstone cottage - our only regret was not booking the house for more than 3 days - not long enough to properly relax and actually read the books we had taken with us! The cottage has everything you need for a holiday - very comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen and beautiful decor. Highly recommend.

Beautiful cottage in a gem of a town

We (and our 4 legged boy) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cottage. Comfy beds, lovely light-filled loungeroom, well equipped kitchen, beautiful deep bath (quite a treat) and generally was just a gorgeous house. The decor, wall art and general 'feel' of the house was interesting and homely. Having our golden retriever Wilson with us, we spent a lot of time when home sitting out under the back verandah, as it was fully fenced and a dog's paradise (so many nooks and crannies for him to explore). The front verandah and garden was very pretty but our young boy can't be fully trusted to stick around and come yet, so we only sat out there for short periods. A seven minute walk to one of the best beaches in SA, and also lovely walks around the headland starting in town. The hosts Jo & Ben were easy to reach and wonderful to communicate with. Hint: Robe is a gem of a place off peak !!

Fabulous Williamstone Cottage

We had a lovely long weekend at Williamstone Cottage, days reading in the sun in the garden and nights in front of the fire. Very much appreciated the fully fenced back garden which allowed everyone to relax not worrying about a dog getting out! A beautiful home for a very much needed relaxing weekend away.

Relaxing getaway

Beautiful cottage with a great feeling of love. Great attention to detail with plenty of space to enjoy. Sitting on the front verandah with a drink and nibbles, under shady trees, taking in the water feature and bird life in the evenings was a great way to unwind. Thank you for sharing your holiday home with us.

About the host

Hosted by Jo Rogers

Host profile image
We are a family who love to travel, are avid snow skiers and surfers and have wonderful adventures together. We call Adelaide home. We are happy to share our beautiful old circa 1920's cottage in the seaside township of Robe on the Limestone Coast, South Australia with you. We have extended family who we love to share the cottage with.

Why they chose this property

We hope you enjoy staying in one of the original limestone cottages in Robe. We love the old trees which are over 80 years old, the generous fully enclosed lawned back garden and pretty cottage front garden. This house is a gorgeous slice of Robe history and we feel fortunate to be the current custodians. We are always gardening and planting new plants. We have an additional front block which we are slowly re-purposing and adding shrubs.

What makes this property unique

Our favourite walk starts in the corner of Long Beach, follows the one way road path to the The Outlet, across the foot bridge and then meanders all the way to town. We stop in town for a coffee and chat and then the return walk before lunch.
In the evenings, we drive to Lipson Park next to the Robe Marina. We follow the Arthur Fennell Way boardwalk that edges the marina then cut across to the Robe Jetty. From here, follow the meandering path to the Obelisk and then onwards along the path toward Doorway Rock and watch the waves coming in to the limestone headland. Cut back through the streets to the complete the loop. Gorgeous.
