About this property

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.
