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.

Property info

Gairdner Cottage is a private, self-contained and modest retreat close to Albany's CBD and medical precinct. Comfortable, practical and private, it offers a relaxed base and everything needed for couples and solo travellers visiting Albany. Compact but thoughtfully equipped, the cottage features a fully equipped kitchen, EV charger, enclosed rear yard and wonderfully comfortable queen bed, along with parking for two vehicles, air-conditioning, laundry facilities and free WiFi. The open-plan living area opens onto a sunny north-facing deck with cottage garden and hillside views — a peaceful base from which to attend to business or explore Albany and the Great Southern. Original artworks, indoor plants and personal touches add warmth and character, while the enclosed yard means your dog can stay too.
