Cliff St. Cottage | Luxury Accommodation in Albany, Western Australia

The Cliff St. Cottage offers a luxury stay in historic Albany, Western Australia. This self-contained retreat blends heritage charm with modern comfort—featuring two queen bedrooms, an enchanting double bedroom, gourmet kitchen, elegant living area, fireplace and private garden.

Relax or explore nearby beaches, cafés, and coastal trails. Ideal for families, couples, friends, or solo travelers seeking a peaceful and stylish escape in the heart of Albany.

Welcome to Cliff St. Cottage, where historic charm meets coastal luxury. Perched in Albany’s iconic heritage precinct, this beautifully restored, self-contained cottage captures sweeping views of the harbour and offers a stay rich in comfort, character and thoughtful details.

From its grand beginnings over a century ago, this home celebrates its original features with open fireplaces, high ceilings and polished timber floors—blended seamlessly with contemporary design and practical elegance. Unwind on the sundeck and watch yachts drift across the harbour as sunrises and sunsets sweep the horizon. Every space in the cottage has been designed to deliver an experience—exactly the way a holiday home should be.

Inside, you’ll find two spacious queen master bedrooms and an enchanting double bedroom, each styled with plush linens and soft pillows to encourage lazy sleep-ins and gentle mornings. The light-filled living area with floor-to-ceiling windows offers the perfect setting to lounge on deep sea-blue sofas or relax next to an open log fire.

The fully equipped galley kitchen features a gas cooktop, electric oven, dishwasher, coffee machine (pods included), pantry essentials, a spice drawer, extended breakfast bar and charming Cliff St. recipe cards to inspire delicious home-cooked meals. Dine alfresco or gather for a special meal in the formal dining space with seating for eight, warmed by a wood log stove (wood and firelighters provided), and entertain with a fun 3.8m chalkboard wall—a hit with both kids and adults.

The laundry room includes a large washer, heat pump dryer, iron, ironing board, picnic basket and a tub of sporting and beach gear for your use. For families with little ones, we’re happy to provide a highchair, stroller, and portacot at no extra charge (please advise at booking).

Step outside into the scent-filled cottage garden, where butterflies, birds and gliding possums visit among seasonal pickings like avocados, tamarillos, pears, apples, lemons, limes, cherries, blueberries, grapes and raspberries.

Parking: There is two designated parking areas , garage parking off Cliff Street and a second (larger) vehicle may park on the front lawn via the private View St. driveway.

Whether you're after a romantic retreat, a family getaway, or a stylish coastal base to explore Albany’s breathtaking region, Cliff St. Cottage offers an unforgettable stay steeped in history, luxury and heart.

A Relaxing and Enjoyable Stay

Have been holidaying in Albany for 30 years and this was by far the most enjoyable. Everything you could possibly need was provided at the cottage making it a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The garden and location were amazing and we are so grateful that we could bring our fur baby. Will definitely be back.

Great autumn stay

Beautiful property, well appointed. Great views. All the amenities you would want plus more (very thoughtful to consider all needs). Really enjoyed our stay. Not a criticism but if any mobility issues the main access to the property does involve a couple of stairs.

Perfect holiday home

We were very comfortable here in this beautiful cottage with our three young children. They loved walking to the farmers markets and the views of King George sound ,playing in the beautiful garden as well as the chalk board and craft drawer. Tanya has thought of every tiny detail and we very much appreciated the beach bags and towels being handy for an impromptu beach trip. We enjoyed the several different seating areas and fire in the evening. We have made some lovely family memories here :) highly recommend.

bad experience

1. property is to hard to drive in and out. 2. too steep to walk from parking to house for older people. I am 70 years old, and I had difficulty to step in the shower because the shower is over a bad tub. 3. no armchair to sit and the lounge seats are too low for older people. 4. bed were on good for me. 5. we stay 1 night out of 4 nights that i had booked.

Whilst the pictures look great, you really need to see this place with your own eyes! It was the most perfect little home to stay in. The rooms were quiet, bedding was fantastic and every little detail and amenities you could possibly need or think of was offered. It was even decorated for Christmas! We honestly wouldn't stay anywhere else in Albany ❤️ Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us!

Albany stay.

The property was beautiful and views over the water of Albany were wonderful. The cottage has everything you need for a stay and more. We had a really cold snap, unfortunately, but the heating kept us warm. The gardens are lovely, very well kept with many flowers out. A piece of Albany history to stay in.

Stunning cottage with absolutely everything thought of and provided! The home has such a lovely peaceful feel to it, you can tell it is well cared for and is a much loved home. Fantastic location and an easy wander to restaurants and the shops, so relaxing to sit out on the porch for morning coffee, afternoon wine or to watch the harbour lights at night.
