Fantastic accommodation, lovely amenities and thoughtful extras from the hosts. Communications from host were great. A very relaxing stay with calming views and a short walk to town centre. Would definitely stay again.
We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful, pet-friendly property that is perfectly located close to everything in town. And the basket of beautiful local goodies was an extra bonus. We'll be back!

Thanks Colleen, lovely to have you stay with us ☺️
Sensational outlook over the water means you can still enjoy the changing weather without leaving the warmth of the fire, if you don’t want to. Place is easy to find with a short walk to nearby restaurants, bars. Had all the amenities we needed & being able to have our small dog with us meant less fuss than other places. A few nice touches (wine, snacks, etc.) were added to ease into our relaxing stay.

Loved the property - really clever sustainable design and great location. Attention to detail and quality of the property faultless. Great service from host. We will be back!
My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at Louise and James' studio in Albany for an extended weekend trip with our dogs. The check in progress was smooth with our hosts being very communicative and a pleasure to deal with. The studio was spotless, luxurious with such attention to detail throughout. The location was also amazing, close to town and with the ocean view from the deck. Highly recommended!
