Elke’s place was in the top 5 of AirBnB’s we’ve stayed in both within Australia and around the world, and being a family of avid travellers, we’ve stayed in many! The view is spectacular with a vista of King George Sound and the islands available from the open plan kitchen and dining, as well as the separate but interconnected living area. The layout is clever with two separate smaller seating areas to take advantage of that view. The large wrap around deck is great for a bbq lunch outside. The house is beautifully and personally decorated with a large number of small pot plants and artwork that is welcoming and relaxing. The kitchen is a good size with a pantry full of everything you could ever need and a garden outside with a large selection of herbs and vegetables . We picked and cooked artichokes and chard which were beautiful. The fireplace is large with ample heat for cool nights. The photos truly don’t do this house justice.
The location, while about 20 mins away from Albany town centre, was perfect for us. A short stroll to Goode Beach and other superb beaches in the area away from the crowds. Also very close to the whaling station museum, blowholes, gap, natural bridge.
Elke’s communication was perfect and she gave some great tips on fishing spots. It was a real pleasure to stay at her place and we highly recommend it. We would love to stay here again.
