Nelson Cottage - relaxed retro, modern & original

Retro Charm, Contemporary Comfort and Original Artworks

Light-filled and eclectically styled, Nelson Cottage sits high on the Mira Mar scarp between Albany's CBD and Middleton Beach.

Warm timber floors, thoughtfully selected furnishings and artwork from the owner's personal collection create a welcoming space for relaxation, reconnection and intrigue. The open-plan living area, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms and WiFi combine character, comfort and convenience for couples, families and longer stays.

Outside, the wide north-facing patio is perfect for a morning coffee, afternoon wine or a lazy evening after exploring Albany's beaches, walking trails and attractions.

Charge your EV, let your dog roam freely in the enclosed backyard, or wander to Bluff Rock Reserve just 300 metres away for a stroll in the bush. Whatever brings you to Albany, comfort, character and convenience will share equally in your stay at Nelson Cottage.

Presents nicely, pet friendly- although can’t leave dog inside unattended- this would be good to state on website. Good sized back yard, good amenities. Couldn’t get free pay TV to work. Loved the 60’s retro vibe.

Had an excellent 6 day stay with friends and our beloved labradoodle.Clear pet policy stating she could not be in house alone which is reasonable.Fabulous large secure yard and deep patio for shelter so was happy to be left during the day.I contacted Ryan from MadPaws app who looked after her a couple of evenings so we could stay out late.Great location/central to Albany highlights.We had great dog walks at Middleton and Emu Point.Plus a patch of bush and rock reserve 2 mins walk from the house which was perfect for a quick afternoon saunter.House was excellent.Nicely fitted out/reasonable beds.Wifi a bit flakey but I think an Albany issue as even Mobile data patchy.Overall a perfect spot to stay in Albany ( with or without your fur baby).
