Company info

We are owners, travellers, and love nice places and the home-based holiday experience. I started renting her own homes for short stay accommodation in 2010, before AIRBNB was born! Darren joined the fray more recently and is hooked on what short stay offers both our guests and selves when we're out traveling. At home in Albany, we share five Gorepani LivingSpaces with our guests. This Gairdner Cottage is one of them. Nelson Cottage, Annie's Place, and Foreshore Apartments 104 and 105 are the others. We are so pleased you are thinking of visiting Albany. It truly is a fantastic part of the world and maybe we can help you enjoy it soon.
