Village trip

The INN is cool, historic place. Bonus store and pub/restaurant across street. However, not a lot to do very close by. The best ( yes that was only close thing ) was great. Would recommend.

Port Albert Inn

This was a very unique experience and I would recommend it to anyone looking to stay with a large group. The beds were comfortable, the showers had good water pressure and the well water was not smelly at all. We stayed during a heatwave, each room has fans and the rooms stayed quite cool and comfortable despite no A/C. There was an issue with the hot tub jets and the owner was quick to try and fix the problem.

Port Albert Inn

This property was really cool. It worked very well for our 4 family group. Two wings, 7 bedrooms, allowed our group and pets space and privacy. The large communal area allowed us to be together in comfort. We had a great time and were very appreciative having our pets. It is quiet with an awesome restaurant and store across the street for supplies. The back yard is large, there is a nice fire pit area and a hot tub. We enjoyed the space, the bedrooms were awesome, the communal bar area was really fun and it was fantastic to have the whole place to ourselves. The owner was great, he lived right next door and allowed us plenty of privacy. On the negative side, the yard is not fenced or private. The place has no air conditioning, although lots of fans, the heat, humidity and air flow did not dissipate. There was no relief inside or out. The front windows don't open, the front door has no screen so you cannot get an air flow. If heat is an issue, you will not be comfortable. The kitchen has no air flow at all, cooking is hot. The gas stove did not work well cooking took a long time. The place was not as clean as it could be, dust on the collectibles, dust under my bed, leftover food on the bbq and the floor left bare feet black. We left our dogs for 1hr and the owner left a message saying we could not leave our dogs unattended, which is unreasonable. We went to beach to swim. We were not allowed to have music outside, also unreasonable. Old coffee machine needs upgrade.

Family Holiday

We all enjoyed our stay at the Inn, especially my family visiting from England. The shop across the street is very handy and we liked having lots of different areas to sit in. Just note that there is no dishwasher in the kitchen, we all took turns doing the dishes each day. Overall a great vacation.
