The noise from the trains (1-2/night) disturbed us a little but we quickly got used to it.

The room was beautifully furnished and finished. The views were amazing. The facilities were great and the hosts were lovely and looked after us well. The hosts gave helpful information about places to go and where to eat. We were able to do some washing.

Views are amazing and property is located very close to CBD. Room is very comfortable with well maintained privacy, has everything you need on vacation and so many extras from the thoughtful owners. Owner Cath is very friendly and shares good information about area, things to see, do. Accommodation with Homely feelings.

Catherine was very helpful with recommendations for restaurants & places to visit. Bed was super comfy. Great bathroom. Views were beautiful. Fire was a bonus. Close to everything & could walk into town. Will definitely stay there again & recommend it to friends.

The location was very good a ten minute walk into Town, it was a very quiet and relaxing location with wonderful views of the water/harbor. The hosts are very warm and friendly, we would have no hesitation in going back.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay despite the quirkiness. A steep driveway down to safe, free, on-site parking takes a little getting used to—perhaps too steep for an elderly couple to walk up and down.

Quirky yet comfy: Super bathroom with lots of hot water. Comfortable bed in well-furnished room overlooking garden, pond, ocean and distant mountains. A welcome gift of Lindt chocolates was a nice touch. A couple of artistic sketches of nude women hanging on one wall, and an eye-brow-raising piece of superimposed photographic images, including nude males hanging on another, adds to the quirkiness of the place. More quirkiness: a couple of female, headless manikins in the garden displaying colourful summer attire—the talents of Catherine, the hostess.and fashion designer. A covered outdoor kitchen is convenient for those who enjoy a few stay-at-home eating. Any dirty dishes get cleaned magically in the night by the hosts.

Great Views. Nice and relaxing place to stay.

(Train line or Highway below studio directly at bay didn’t disturb us, there was no noise at night.)

Such a cozy studio with some nice extras; we felt very welcome. Just a 15 minutes walk to town with lots of restaurants. And the surroundings with Torndirrup NP are absolutely great!

The description on the website didn’t mention the close proximity of the railway line and the busy road behind the lake. The massive trains which ran through the night disturbed our sleep and had we known we would have chosen somewhere quieter. We felt that although there was crockery and cutlery and a BBQ the food prep area and washing up facilities were limited and a proper worktop would have been useful either in the room or in the outside eating area.

Nice room and lovely bathroom with super toiletries Nice selection of teas and different types of milk Comfortable bed and all very clean Handy for town and private Good BBQ Lovely view

We loved the location, it was just a short walk from town. The views were amazing and Catherine gave us a very warm and friendly welcome. The bed was comfortable and the little outdoor area was lovely for dinner. We felt it had everything we needed and we felt super comfortable, safe and looked after. We did see the reviews about the trains but they didn't bother us (or wake us) at all - it was actually pretty cool watching them roll through on occasion. The bathroom was amazing - a huge shower! Would highly recommend staying here.

i think if there was a kitchen available it would certainly be a bonus - to be able to wash dishes etc would be helpful as well I wished I could have stayed a few more days but my holiday plans were to hit back to perth

Loved everything about the space. Wished I spent more days there but I am planning to return so I can make up for the lack of time spent in Albany Lovely host and what a beautiful place to be

I would not say “did not like,” but the room was a bit small. It’s for sleeping—first and foremost—with no interior table (like for eating or planning) and limited (secure) space for luggage. As long as you know or expect that, it’s fine. My partner found the walk to downtown a bit far. I disagreed—it’s like 10-15 minutes and great to stretch the legs. Certain statements on Booking.com don’t seem right. This was not a hotel. The owner lived in one section of the house, and you have your own private entrance at another area. This has an AirBNB feel to it where you have to organize with the owner. I don’t think there is any 24 hour check in (unless the key is left for you in a lock box). None of that is bad, but the Booking.com kind of made it sound like a motel.

Very clean. Spacious comfortable bathroom with walk in shower. The outdoor sitting area and grill. Provided cutlery. Provided plates and bowls. Nice interior artwork. Chatting with the owners over a glass of Chardonnay.

Our host was very helpful and the accommodation was comfortable and private with a lovely outdoor area. The uninterrupted views out over the water were a highlight. It was within easy walking distance to town.

We spent 4 nights in Albany and chose Kinsellas Waters as it looked a little different to the norm. Great location. Very clean. Catherine was most helpful and friendly. Great base to explore Porongorup and Stirling Ranges Lovely views and very relaxing Only a short 10-15 min stroll into town.

Tucked away in a quiet corner of Albany, this corner of paradise has wonderful views of the Port, and distant peninsula. We shared our quiet and comfortable corner with feisty New Holland Honey Eaters, the resident Magpie, and a King Skink which came by to soak up the sunshine. Our friendly and entertaining hosts were happy to share their local knowledge of a place they really love, and we concurred with their passion by the time we left. There is so much do here. The restaurants are plentiful and exceptional. There are many local vineyards and walks and drives and the Sandalwood Centre is worth a visit as is the Royal Patisserie for a very yummy sandwich, pastry or pie.

Great stay the room had all that was required, plus the view was fantastic. Close to shops and restaurants, within walking distance.

Catherine & Desmond are a lovely couple and pefect hosts. They live just at the back but we were not disturbed at all. However, they were super responsive to our queries. Desmond lighted up the fireplace one evening and it was perfect to sit out in the cool evening. It is just a great accomodation. Catherine has all the brochures for things to do/where to eat for the guests. The view is just fantastic. Will definitely be back! We had a lovely holiday.Thank you!
