    Large, fully fenced backyard so we had somewhere safe to leave our dog. Fruit trees were a bonus especially lemon and fig.

Company information

I love property and nice places and have been renting my own homes for short stay accommodation since before AIRBNB was born! My hosting experience started in 2010 with Red Cottage. Today, Bluff Cottage and Nelson Cottage are mine to check out. Along the way, I've also had the pleasure of helping friends out with their own rental properties. Festing Cottage was an early one. I did that with Don. Today it is Annies Place and Foreshore Apartment 104 in downtown Albany, and the quirky Gairdner Cottage in Spencer Park. That is for Duke and Hilde. I complete my work with the supported of a fantastic bunch of cleaners, gardeners, rubbish collectors, tradies and the like. Each one of them is super special! Not only because they do their own jobs so incredibly well, but because their support enables me also to work as a sales rep in the local real estate industry. I am so pleased you are thinking of visiting Albany. It truly is a fantastic part of the world and maybe we will share a conversation soon!

Property information

Despite its diminutive size, Gairdner Cottage is fully equipped, has a lusciously comfortable queen bed, a new deck with semi-rural view off central open plan living, and a fully enclosed rear yard for your four-legged friend. Plus, there is an EV charger on order for installation very soon! Albany Health Campus, various allied medical services and Spencer Park Shopping Centre are within a 900m radius of the cottage. So, perfect for visiting medical and allied professionals appreciating privacy after a busy day at work. The Albany CBD, Middleton Beach, shops and various sporting facilities are all just a short drive away for essential services. Further afield, gorgeous coastal scenery, bush walks and inland mountain ranges to visit will rejuvenate and inspire.
