The Island Retreat is a wonderful home that is close to the various sights of Albany including The Gap and the Whaling Station. Although 20mins from town it is a perfect location if you are looking for a quiet retreat with absolutely stunning views. We weren’t left wanting for anything at the home and the little touches made it a stay to remember. From the minute we walked in - with the fire lit and we’ll appointed amenities, we were extremely comfortable. The bottle of wine from Bunn Vineyard was also very much appreciated. Overall we had a short stay that left is wishing for more time. Elke is a wonderful host that made sure we were well looked after. Her home is lovely and we will definitely be back.
