Guest Reviews

• Catherine (10/5): We only had a quick 2 night stay but found this a great location that was close to everything we needed - Location
• Barry (9/5): -
• Lucy (9/5): - Beautiful views, super friendly and knowledgable host - we were treated to chocolates on arrival! Outdoor kitchen meant the benches and tables etc were dirty.
• Pauline (9/5): -
• Dan (9/5): -
• Lia (9/5): -
• Richard (8/5): Very comfortable and well equipped accommodation. - Extremely clean, very well appointed property. Very large and comfortable bed. Owner was very keen to advise us for local attractions and there were lots of great information in room. Excellent bathroom shower and again spotlessly clean. Outside area again very well appointed. Obviously owner has tried very hard to make this place perfect. Chocolates on arrival nice touch. There is a steep drive. Not really a problem but could be pre notified. Some decorative items were somewhat eclectic.
• cawood (9/5): Has a steep drive if your mobility is challenged or your nervous about driving - Cute little studio with en suite and a garden kitchen. Nice views and. Great host who provided a comfortable stay.
• Neil (10/5): great & private - driveway was a little harsh but once used to it everything fine ! a little slippery when wet steps ! nil
• Suzanne (10/5): - Everything was wonderful. The views were sensational. The bed was super comfy and the shower was huge and hot. You also get your own fireplace. It was only a 10 minute walk to the town centre. Catherine was lovely and very easy to communicate with and added some thoughtful little things to the stay like chocolate, make up wipes and dressing gowns. Definitely would stay again. NA
• Katrin (10/5): - The tiny details in the room!
• Rhys27 (10/5): - Friendly hosts, comfy room and great location with everything we needed for a short stay.
• Sarah (9/5): Homely base to explore Albany and all its amazing national parks and beaches - Catherine and Desmond were super helpful and accommodating hosts. Fantastic shower and comfortable bed plus lots of nice little touches that made us feel at home. The outdoor kitchen was fun. Great position to explore the area - C gave us lots of useful tips on where to go.
• Szymon Sprawka (9/5): Great host in good place - Great host. Not far from the centre. Good view. Road is nearby so if you have light sleep it may be an issue.
• Elena (10/5): -
• Simone (9/5): Bellissima camera vista lago! - Doccia bellissima, interni curati Discesa per parcheggiare un po’ ripida
• Florence (10/5): Excellent - Catherine’s personal welcome / the view/ the tastefully appointed bedroom and gorgeous bathroom / the quirky outside kitchen The very steep, but manageable, driveway
• Simon (9/5): Would recommend to anyone! Cheers - Clean, comfortable and very well situated with just a short walk into town. Relaxing outside sitting area overlooking a lake and the bay. Modern bathroom facilities and friendly hosts. We were very happy to be able to do some washing, which is always a bonus! Nothing!
• Ronald (8/5): -
• Bansi (10/5): Would visit again! - The apartment (bedroom and bathroom) were beautifully decorated. Bed was very comfortable with a heated blanket if needed. Small touches like tea, coffee, water and chocolates made all the difference. Host (Catherine) gave great recommendation for sight seeing and local live music. I wish I had stayed longer in Albany.
• julie (8/5): Lovely quiet location. Beautiful views. Great shower! - Location. Views. Quietness.
• David (8/5): - Comfortable bed, large modern bathroom, tea/coffee provided, good eating suggestions Grateful for use of washing machine and dryer. Catherine went extra mile Decor a bit eclectic (art, as always, in the eye of the beholder) but not detracting from our happy stay. A little hard to understand the extra (summertime) outdoor covered- kitchen facilities... until we got there.
• Neil (9/5): -
• Heini (10/5): Perfekte Wahl, gerne wieder - Sehr schöne Lage, aufmerksame Gastgeber mit persönlichem Kontakt. Wunderbarer Frühstücksplatz an der Sonne mit frischem Blumenstrauss auf dem Tisch. Grosszügige Nasszelle. Beschränkte Kochmöglichkeiten sind kein Problem, weil viele Restaurants in der Nähe.
• George (9/5): -
• Rachael (9/5): Lovely views to wake up to ! - Beautifully located accomodation with views even better than the photos!We were greeted by the lovely host on arrival and again while we were leaving and she had some helpful recommendations for places in and around Albany. The room is spacious,exceptionally clean,tastefully decorated with photography and artwork and very comfortable.The hosts have thought of every little thing from toiletries to complimentary drinking water and a selection of teas,coffees and milk.They have even provided eye masks,an electric blanket and a range of helpful menus from the nearby restaraunts/cafes.Location is central and is a short walk/ few minutes drive down to town.The bathroom is modern with a luxurious shower.Our stay was short but worthwhile and we would love to revisit whenever we are in Albany again. Would definitely recommend! Too short a stay!:)
• Anna (9/5): Albany Getaway - The room was beautifully furnished with a very comfy bed. We loved the quirky touches inside and outside. Catherine was a very good host and made some great recommendations for local restaurants and sites. Nothing
• Berthier (10/5): - Un endroit idéal s'il fait chaud cad plus de 20C. Lors de notre passage la température n'était pas suffisamment clémente pour bien profiter de l'endroit mais la chambre et la salle de bain étaint parfaites.
• David (8/5): -
• Ian (8/5): -
• Phil (9/5): -
• Ian (8/5): -
• Claire (10/5): A beautiful view across the bay. - We eloped to Albany and stayed at Kinsellas Waters. We had a lovely stay. Everything was clean and presented nicely. Catherine is very friendly and we enjoyed chatting with her.
• Graeme (9/5): A pleasant stay - The bathroom was excellent as were the towels and toiletries Friendly host The selection of teas, coffee and the variety of milks were great to see. The tea and coffee arrangement was a little awkward on the small cabinet. It would be easier to have a more permanent shelf/cupboard over the existing refrigerator

• J A Tredrea (10/5): - Amazing views and great people Nil
• Laetitia (10/5): - The view is amazing and the room so comfortable. Catherine and Desmond’s welcome was warm… It was perfect! Nothing

• Sanjay (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bradley (10/5): Relaxing, quirky and welcoming stay in Albany. - What a gem this place is.Great views in a quiet part of town. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom modern, clean and had a fantastic walk-in shower. Lovely host met us on arrival and introduced us to all the facilities some of which we didn't use as we were only there for two nights. Highly recommend Kinsellas Water views. Nothing
• Karen (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic view, excellent shower, bed and pillow was super comfortable, a little Gem, close to down so able to walk. Highly recommend Karen & Dereck.
• Helen (7/5): Good -
• Nigel (9/5): Good base to visit ANZAC history. - All facilities were good. Had an outdoor eating and relaxing area which was quirky and comfortable. The views over Princess Royal Harbour was peaceful and relaxing. ANZAC centre and Strawberry Hill House short drive away and worth a visit. No problems.
• Stephen (8/5): Unique, tasteful and good quality accomodations down a very steep driveway. - Charming bedroom and excellent bathroom. Lots of thoughtful touches. The rain was constant which made it difficult to fully appreciate the location. Steep driveway takes some getting used to!

• Rose (9/5): Superb -

• Andrew (9/5): Great place, good vibes - Great location. Great room and fantastic ensuite. The driveway
• Maria (7/5): Good - Comfortable bed.Great bathroom.Location suited us Blunt bread knife.Had to buy our own.Not enough dish washing liquid.Also had to buy our own.Cutlery really needs replacing and coffee mugs were almost impossible to get clean. Paper towels ran out after two days.Had to buy our own to do basic cleaning. Mention needs to be made of the stairs leading from the outdoor dining and kitchen facilities to the sleeping area as it might not suit certain individuals.
• Megan (9/5): Caring host - View Nothing
• Jeannie (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean and comfortable, lovely view A little small and a bit far from town

• Patricia (10/5): Wonderful few days in Albany - Very nice accommodation with wonderful views. Everything provided for a comfortable stay including high quality towels and toiletries. Milk, tea, coffee and beer provided and chocolates. A very warm welcome from Catherine and Des who are very friendly and helpful. Nothing
• Francesca (10/5): Great little getaway. - The location with the sweeping views of the bay and the little lakes full of birds and only 1km walk into the city centre. The quirkiness of the decor, the outdoor kitchen area with the pot belly fire that the owner prepared for us our first night, the fantastic bathroom, the artwork, the comfy bed, the welcome chocolates, plenty of local information, the suggestions of places to eat - Coop Thai was brilliant. Just a great little find. Will stay again. Nothing
• Ksenia (10/5): Perfect location and facilities - Location was perfect with beautiful views and close proximity to cafes and shops. The room was clean and had everything we needed, including a kettle, bowls and plates, a fridge, an aircon and a TV. A bathroom was spacious and even had a heat lamp perfect for winter. A microwave was a bonus to heat up meals. We saw lots of wildlife on the property such as cute bandicoots and ducks. We really enjoyed our stay.
• Sharon (6/5): Beautiful Albany views - separated facilities - Water views, very comfortable bed and spacious modern bathroom. Tourist information, kettle and fridge in room. Fire in outdoor area. Plates, glasses and cutlery provided. Host provided good communication and met us on arrival. Short walk to eateries, town centre and historical hub Kitchen was an open undercover area downstairs, which would be problematic in inclement weather. Limited wood for fire. Needed to source our own wood on first night. Room had only 1 chair to relax in and watch TV which made it awkward for a couple Only had small BBQ and microwave to cook with, but no trays or pan to put food in.
• Manpreet (10/5): Exceptional -
• David (8/5): Good fun. It was wet and windy and it was good to get back and enjoy the warm and cosy room. - Great location but steep access to property could be difficult for some people to manage - although there were stepped walk way up and down. See above comments.Good fun
• Viki (8/5): Exceeded expectations. A touch of home - Welcomed by Catherine. Very hospitable. Room spacious and decor was tasteful and comfortable.
• Joanna (9/5): Beautiful, clean, comfortable, friendly and attentive. - Catherine and Des were very kind, lending me things I’d forgotten, running me out to a spot to walk back, and offering to light us the fire in the outside area one evening. Very warm and genuine. Everything you needed plus more. Bed comfy. Shower great. Good amount of milk in fridge plus extras like chocolates and beer. 😀 The steep driveway first coming in was a little intimidating but it’s fine and labelled clearly. The 4WDs tyres from the nearby road are a little noisy for my tastes but once inside, didn’t notice.
• Leannebl (10/5): Exceptional - Super clean and comfy bed Everything was great
• Bibin (8/5): Very good -
• Barbara (9/5): A beautiful place - The room was beautifully furnished and finished. The views were amazing. The facilities were great and the hosts were lovely and looked after us well. The hosts gave helpful information about places to go and where to eat. We were able to do some washing. The noise from the trains (1-2/night) disturbed us a little but we quickly got used to it.
• Clayton (8/5): Comfortable, neat and tidy room, with a protected outdoor area and a great view of the Harbour. -
• Stephanie (10/5): Exceptional - Super clean and very professional.
• Pasquale (10/5): Should of stayed a few more nights to fully appreciate it - Perfect location/ facilities & view Leaving
• Chris (7/5): Good - Excellent room with ensuite and garden room. The trains going passed during the night did keep me awake. Otherwise lovely accommodation, friendly host and 10 min walk to town centre. Albany is wonderful.
• Aniket (10/5): Exceptional - Views are amazing and property is located very close to CBD. Room is very comfortable with well maintained privacy, has everything you need on vacation and so many extras from the thoughtful owners. Owner Cath is very friendly and shares good information about area, things to see, do. Accommodation with Homely feelings.
• Pamela (10/5): Amazing & would recommend it. Five stars. - Catherine was very helpful with recommendations for restaurants & places to visit. Bed was super comfy. Great bathroom. Views were beautiful. Fire was a bonus. Close to everything & could walk into town. Will definitely stay there again & recommend it to friends. Nothing
• Ian (9/5): Superb - The host did everything possible to ensure we enjoyed our stay and visit to the area
• Graeme (10/5): A great place to stay close to Town - The location was very good a ten minute walk into Town, it was a very quiet and relaxing location with wonderful views of the water/harbor. The hosts are very warm and friendly, we would have no hesitation in going back. Nothing
• Stephen (9/5): Quirky yet comfortable, close to town centre and all amenities. - Quirky yet comfy: Super bathroom with lots of hot water. Comfortable bed in well-furnished room overlooking garden, pond, ocean and distant mountains. A welcome gift of Lindt chocolates was a nice touch. A couple of artistic sketches of nude women hanging on one wall, and an eye-brow-raising piece of superimposed photographic images, including nude males hanging on another, adds to the quirkiness of the place. More quirkiness: a couple of female, headless manikins in the garden displaying colourful summer attire—the talents of Catherine, the hostess.and fashion designer. A covered outdoor kitchen is convenient for those who enjoy a few stay-at-home eating. Any dirty dishes get cleaned magically in the night by the hosts. Overall we really enjoyed our stay despite the quirkiness. A steep driveway down to safe, free, on-site parking takes a little getting used to—perhaps too steep for an elderly couple to walk up and down.
• Sajjad (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hamza (10/5): Peaceful. - Great Views. Nice and relaxing place to stay.
• John (4/5): Expensive not really not what we expected from the listing. - Room was comfortable and clean and the host was pleasant and helpful. The accomodation was very expensive for a room attached to an old private residence right beside an active freight railway line. We found the dressed mannequins placed throughout the property somewhat odd. The listing reviews did not seem accurate.
• Kirstin (10/5): Exceptional - Such a cozy studio with some nice extras; we felt very welcome. Just a 15 minutes walk to town with lots of restaurants. And the surroundings with Torndirrup NP are absolutely great! (Train line or Highway below studio directly at bay didn’t disturb us, there was no noise at night.)
• Penelope (8/5): Overall enjoyable visit to Albany - Nice room and lovely bathroom with super toiletries Nice selection of teas and different types of milk Comfortable bed and all very clean Handy for town and private Good BBQ Lovely view The description on the website didn’t mention the close proximity of the railway line and the busy road behind the lake. The massive trains which ran through the night disturbed our sleep and had we known we would have chosen somewhere quieter. We felt that although there was crockery and cutlery and a BBQ the food prep area and washing up facilities were limited and a proper worktop would have been useful either in the room or in the outside eating area.
• Samantha (10/5): A hidden gem! - We loved the location, it was just a short walk from town. The views were amazing and Catherine gave us a very warm and friendly welcome. The bed was comfortable and the little outdoor area was lovely for dinner. We felt it had everything we needed and we felt super comfortable, safe and looked after. We did see the reviews about the trains but they didn't bother us (or wake us) at all - it was actually pretty cool watching them roll through on occasion. The bathroom was amazing - a huge shower! Would highly recommend staying here. Nothing!
• Winston (10/5): Great place to stay - everything is within walking distance to town for food and supermarkets - Loved everything about the space. Wished I spent more days there but I am planning to return so I can make up for the lack of time spent in Albany Lovely host and what a beautiful place to be i think if there was a kitchen available it would certainly be a bonus - to be able to wash dishes etc would be helpful as well I wished I could have stayed a few more days but my holiday plans were to hit back to perth
• Peter (9/5): Great value with caring and interesting owners! - Very clean. Spacious comfortable bathroom with walk in shower. The outdoor sitting area and grill. Provided cutlery. Provided plates and bowls. Nice interior artwork. Chatting with the owners over a glass of Chardonnay. I would not say “did not like,” but the room was a bit small. It’s for sleeping—first and foremost—with no interior table (like for eating or planning) and limited (secure) space for luggage. As long as you know or expect that, it’s fine. My partner found the walk to downtown a bit far. I disagreed—it’s like 10-15 minutes and great to stretch the legs. Certain statements on Booking.com don’t seem right. This was not a hotel. The owner lived in one section of the house, and you have your own private entrance at another area. This has an AirBNB feel to it where you have to organize with the owner. I don’t think there is any 24 hour check in (unless the key is left for you in a lock box). None of that is bad, but the Booking.com kind of made it sound like a motel.
• Ayleen (9/5): Superb - Had a very lovely stay. Fantastic view. Room was very well-designed, clean and comfortable. Wonderful hospitality by the host, Catherine, who gave us a lot of recommendations on places to visit in Albany. Would love to be back!
• Beatrice (8/5): Very good - Beautiful view and very helpful and friendly hosts. Good location
• Ian (10/5): Exceptional -
• Perette (10/5): We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning. - Our host was very helpful and the accommodation was comfortable and private with a lovely outdoor area. The uninterrupted views out over the water were a highlight. It was within easy walking distance to town.
• Gerard (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tony (10/5): Exceptional - We spent 4 nights in Albany and chose Kinsellas Waters as it looked a little different to the norm. Great location. Very clean. Catherine was most helpful and friendly. Great base to explore Porongorup and Stirling Ranges Lovely views and very relaxing Only a short 10-15 min stroll into town.
• Elspeth (8/5): Quiet corner in paradise. - Tucked away in a quiet corner of Albany, this corner of paradise has wonderful views of the Port, and distant peninsula. We shared our quiet and comfortable corner with feisty New Holland Honey Eaters, the resident Magpie, and a King Skink which came by to soak up the sunshine. Our friendly and entertaining hosts were happy to share their local knowledge of a place they really love, and we concurred with their passion by the time we left. There is so much do here. The restaurants are plentiful and exceptional. There are many local vineyards and walks and drives and the Sandalwood Centre is worth a visit as is the Royal Patisserie for a very yummy sandwich, pastry or pie.
• Anne (9/5): Superb -
• David (10/5): A really good relaxing break with nothing to worry about - The owners were lovely people, friendly and helpful, the view was fantastic and the bed really comfortable, what more could we ask for! We should of stayed longer!
• Jynell (10/5): Exceptional -
• Geoffrey (7/5): Good -
• Lorraine (10/5): Exceptional - Great stay the room had all that was required, plus the view was fantastic. Close to shops and restaurants, within walking distance.
