Perfect dog and people accommodation.

A lovely home with everything that we needed. The garden was perfect for our kelpies with very secure fencing and two sections where they could be contained. Would recommend for sure.

About the host

Hosted by Sera Blair

Host profile image

Sandpiper Cottage is my new coastal escape where I can enjoy some time by myself or with family and friends. When I am there I feel calmer and enjoy working on the house and in the garden.

Why they chose this property

Port Albert is a wonderful community and a great place to kayak in Nooramunga Marine National Park. Morning walks along the coast path into town for a coffee are delightful all year round.
