Albany is a great destination, however, Stella's lovely home and great hospitality have made her home a highlight and destination in itself! My friends, wife and I had a stellar two nights there, and although I am an avid and seasoned traveller myself, it is very rare that I am so pleasantly surprised by my stay. There are also some small dogs who were very friendly. I had the complimentary fruit, toast and jam for breakfast in the morning as well. The location is also good (at least if you have a car); there are some nice places to visit further down the peninsula such as some beaches, The Gap and Natural Bridge.
