Juliette....
Hosting your stay at Nelson Cottage has been a delight. And I'm so impressed with how clean and tidy you left the cottage. No trace of doggy Dougall, and even very little of yourselves!
Lovely and comfortable stay in great quiet location with bush walk close by. Large enclosed yard that is ideal for our fur baby. Host was always responsive and warm from booking process to checking out.

It was terrific having you stay Diana. You've easy to get along with and were very respectful of our cottage. We look forward to your return!
The property was cleverly furnished and everything we needed was at our fingertips. The host was very accommodating for our needs. We look forward to returning.
We were in Albany working and this place had everything we needed
Comfortable beds, plenty of room to relax
Close to City Centre
Next time we stay here it will be a holiday
We will definitely be back
Presents nicely, pet friendly- although can’t leave dog inside unattended- this would be good to state on website. Good sized back yard, good amenities. Couldn’t get free pay TV to work. Loved the 60’s retro vibe.

Thanks for staying with us at Nelson Cottage. It has been a pleasure hosting your stay in Albany.
I'm sorry about our firm pet policy, Tricia. Sadly our cottage has not been well looked after by pet owners previously, and we've had to tighten our expectations of pet management by our guests as a consequence.
Had an excellent 6 day stay with friends and our beloved labradoodle.Clear pet policy stating she could not be in house alone which is reasonable.Fabulous large secure yard and deep patio for shelter so was happy to be left during the day.I contacted Ryan from MadPaws app who looked after her a couple of evenings so we could stay out late.Great location/central to Albany highlights.We had great dog walks at Middleton and Emu Point.Plus a patch of bush and rock reserve 2 mins walk from the house which was perfect for a quick afternoon saunter.House was excellent.Nicely fitted out/reasonable beds.Wifi a bit flakey but I think an Albany issue as even Mobile data patchy.Overall a perfect spot to stay in Albany ( with or without your fur baby).
