This house is absolutely beautiful, and so well stocked for all our needs. We felt so comfortable on our stay, and it was so central for everything we wanted to do for our weekend. Highly recommend this property, and hope to be back again one day!
My wife and my parents enjoyed a 5 night stay. We found the house to be well presented, spacious, and great location with some views. The downstairs bathroom retreat was very useful to use for some private time although the stairs are quite steep. We would recommend to anyone and would stay again

Hi Phil - It was a pleasure to host you and your family, thank you for choosing to stay with us and hope we can host you again in the future.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The house is well presented, very clean and tastefully decorated.
The fresh loaf of bread and milk in the fridge, supplied by the owners, was a pleasant surprise. I highly recommend this property. You will not be disappointed. We would definitely stay again.
Thanks Mark & Ange!

Thank you for staying with us and leaving the house in great condition! It was a pleasure to host you and your family and hope we can host you again in the future 🌞
Me, Hubby and 4 adult children had an absolute amazing weekend for my nieces wedding. The house was immaculate, cozy and well stocked with what we needed for a stress free weekend. Presentation is just beautiful. I would have no hesitation in recommending this gorgeous house. We will definitely stay there again next time we visit Albany. Thanks so much xx
Dealing with property owners prior to arrival was pleasant. Given the owners are new to the business, they were very accommodating of a query I had prior to arriving. Beautiful property with very nice furnishings. Super comfortable beds. A lot of stairs which was not great for an older person with back issues but we managed. Great location central to everything you need. Thanks for having us!

Hi Jess, it was a pleasure to host you and your family. Thank you for your review and choosing to stay with us!
Our 3-nights stay at Lucy's Place listed by Mark and Ange, was a wonderful and relaxing experience. The property was very well equipped - specially crockery and cutlery. We found it clean and decoratively arranged with a lovely personalised welcome sign too. The complimentary food items left for us was a pleasent surprise. The downstair study with attached toilet and bathroom was great when one needed a liitle private escape amidst the fun and frolic. The property sits amidst quite, lovely surroundings and is conveniently located. Mark and Ange were very responsive whenever we messaged and we would love to be staying at Lucy's Place again.

Hi Brin - thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay ☺️ Thank you for being such wonderfully friendly and polite guests that left the house in great condition. We would love to welcome you back anytime! Thank you, Mark & Ange
We absolutely loved the house. It was beyond our expectations. It was beautifully decorated and so clean. The reeds and candles were a lovely touch and it was so lovely to smell these everytime we came home.
The studio downstairs was an unexpected surprise and served as an excellent space for our wedding preparations such as our hair and makeup.
Our hosts were easy to communicate with and left some lovely touches in the kitchen.
Overall a wonderful place to stay and prepare for my daughter's wedding.
Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.

Hi Rose - we’re so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for being such wonderful guests and leaving the house in great condition 🌸 We would love to welcome you back anytime! Best wishes to the bride and groom.
Absolutely perfect for our group who were in the region running in a 3 day trail event. It meant we could all be together as a team but never feel like we were on top of each other. The house was so comfortable and homely a treat to come back to after a long day on the trails. The nook and extra bathroom was a major plus. The Hosts managed a couple of requests wonderfully. Would definitely recommend.
The property was well presented and very clean. Great amenities and very generous owner who left some basics, a welcome drop and some wood for the fire. This was all received gratefully and set the week up for a lovely stay. Thankyou again for making our stay a week to remember.
Thanks.
My family and I had a wonderful stay here. Host Ange was friendly and quick to respond to any queries we had. The house was clean and as per pictures. Location was great too! Simply a cosy place for our family vacation. Truly a home away from home.
