Elsa's gorgeous place in Albany was our family's home away from home for a week in summer, with six adults, two kids, and an infant staying. Elsa was one of the most responsive hosts I've ever stayed with, very quickly replying and helping out with small issues, like getting the bbq started, and even dropping a replacement gas cylinder round within 15 minutes of us reporting it empty! She sent us recommendations of things to see and do, and dropped round clean towels halfway through our stay. The location is perfect, right next to the beautiful north end of Middleton beach, perfect for splashing around, bodyboarding, or watching the horse trainers ride. Shops are a 5-10 minute drive away. Emu Point is a nice 20-minute walk away for a playground, cafe, and another lovely beach. You can rent a scooter or hire a bike to enjoy getting around the area and seeing the sights. The house is lovely, although there weren't quite enough plates! We had a lovely time and would happily stay again.
