Karen warmly welcomed us on a very cold winter day! Her lovely home had amazing views of the water, especially from the kitchen, which was well stocked and fully equipped. The living room had a big comfy leather sofa and a gas heater that kept us warm and a portable one that we used in the master bedroom as it was cold during our stay - especially for us visitors from Malaysia. The bedding and blankets provided did keep us warm and cosy though bring along hotel type room/house slippers for use in the bathroom/toilet if you are from the tropics as the tiled floor can get cold. Other parts of the house was fine. Our two older boys enjoyed being up in the open loft with two cosy beds set up and because the loft overlooked the kitchen they were still very much part of the going ons in the house.
The location of the house is less than a couple of minutes drive and a very easy walk from Albany city centre. Karen's house is centrally located for easy access to main sights and activities in Albany, which Karen will happily provide information and tips on.
We loved being in the kitchen the most, during the day and night. The natural light that came through it was lovely. We had beautiful views over the water and got to see amazing rainbows everyday whilst preparing meals and washing dishes! We hope to return again during warmer months where we can then enjoy the lovely deck just outside the dining area. Would definitely recommend Karen's house Eco Vista for a nice, relaxing and easy going stay in beautiful Albany.
