A pleasant place to stay and definitely pet friendly. The decore was a bit dated and the double bed with bunk was squeaky and uncomfortable. Overall it had everything you needed and would be great for two small families on a summer holiday!

Thanks Celia for your review, we have had the same bed for many years and this is the first time we have had any comment about it. We will be sure to check it out.
We are glad you enjoyed all the facilities and the big backyard. It is a great space for families and couples alike - it was renovated 3 years ago with new floors, fresh paint, some new furniture and new bedding.
Most people have enjoyed the feel and decor, it is exactly as it is in the photos.
The 3 star is a little disappointing - considering it provided for all you needed and you had another option for a bed that suited your style.
We wish you well in your journeys!
The house was perfect for our short stay, We travelled to compete with our Agility/Obedience dogs in Albany, The location was perfect being only minutes from the grounds. House was neat & tidy on arrival and very welcoming. It was the perfect base for us after long days of competing, Thoroughly enjoyed sitting out the back with a glass of wine enjoying the peace & quiet. Location of the house is fantastic, Close to shops, Restaurants etc.

Pelicans Rest was immaculately clean and had everything we needed for a weeks stay. We found the location great-5 minutes to Emu Point and 10 to town and Middleton Beach. The grassed enclosed backyard was fantastic for our dogs.
I would love ,if we return to Albany, to stay at Pelicans Rest.

Thank you for your stay.

Glad you enjoyed our home.

Just what we needed for our first time to Albany, a home away from home. Everything we needed for the week. The kids and dog loved the huge backyard. Either a short walk or short drive to shops, beach or activities.
Our family of 5 plus small fur baby enjoyed our trip to Albany. The house was not overly fancy but it was clean and had everything we needed. It was lovely to be able to bring our dog with us, he enjoyed the big backyard and there was ample space inside for us all to have a chilled out relaxing holiday. We liked sitting outside at sundown with a glass of wine watching the birds.

Not quite!
Although we enjoyed our holiday. The home was very basic in its contents. Our biggest disappointment was the location. It is further out from both the beach and town than advertised. Also if someone swaps bed you will be charged an extra fee for washing regardless of the fact you rent the place by the house not per person.

Thanks for your review Sarah - but unfortunately you have misread the rules and the booking arrangements - you pay the base rate for 4 persons and each person after that is $40 per night for extra washing and cleaning as explained to you when the extra fee was charged.
There were 4 guests booked and 5 beds used - so additional cleaning required. Clarified by yourself there was definitely only 4 guests. So a once off charge not a nightly charge.
Should you wish to google the location and Middleton beach it is actually 4 mins so actually less time than stated apologies if you were googling a different beach. Emu point is even closer. The edge of town is 2 mins but the centre is 6 mins, apologies I have corrected this if that’s what is expected.
It was also disappointing that we had to communicate 7 times to have the second payment made for your stay and it was not cleared up until after the stay was over.
With your feedback we have implemented tea coffee sugar and herbs and spices but it was never communicated this was included.
In private messages you were impressed with the size of the yard, thoroughly enjoyed the games, the beds were comfortable and you would stay again.
It’s again disappointing your review doesn’t reflect this.
Was a perfect accommodation for us and our fur baby

We love this place and love to holiday in Albany we hope you do too!
Why they chose this property
So many things to do and when you have done that there is time to relax around the fire pit and watch the bush television!
What makes this property unique
Large space for a big family and lots of room to park the boat, heaps of spots to go fishing... don't forget a drive to the Porongorups and maybe a hike up Bluff Knoll! The backyard is spacious for the fury family member to run around too!
