Tallerack is one of 2 Studios perched high on Kardarup (Mount Melville) with sweeping harbour views - the perfect backdrop for your weekend away. A full kitchen, wood fireplace, and terrace give you space to relax and reconnect.

The house is well laid out, a full kitchen if you wanted to cook. The lounge has a view of the bay and the fireplace warms the cottage within minutes! So cosy and toasty on a cold night.Perfect for a getaway with a stunning view of the bay from your bed to wake up to! We had a lovely 5 night stay and would thoroughly recommend this property.

Lovely little property…perfect for a few days of downtime. So much to do in the area and lovely to come back to a very comfy house and gorgeous view. The kitchen was surprisingly well equipped for the size of the villa and the provisions left for us were delicious. Linen also lovely which is always appreciated. Would totally recommend…wish we were coming back sooner!!

Perfect space in a great location

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.

Beautiful Studio

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!
