Clean and Spacious
Lovely and very clean home, tastefully decorated. The usual items included, soaps, shampoo, tea, coffee and assorted condiments. A number of games and very difficult and interesting jigsaw puzzles on hand to entertain. Big garden, with some great spots to enjoy the sun. The property is centrally located in Port Albert. We had a great 4 day stay and this accommodation certainly played a big part in the enjoyment.

Comfortable Sandpiper Cottage at Port Albert
We are regular summer visitors to Port Albert but this was our first time staying at Sandpiper Cottage. A welcoming, spacious and comfortable house, with all we needed for an extended stay. We particularly appreciated bring able to store the boat in the shed. Thanks Sera, we hope to be back!

A lovely and comfortable place with a garden space our dogs loved. Close to everything with a couple of good places to eat, many good walks and seemingly a fisherman's paradise.

Great and as advertised
Good stay at this property. main plus was the security for our Jack Russell Terrier as that property is very well fenced and offers a range of different outdoor options. weather was terrible but it was dry and cosy inside. House has everything you could want when you are away from your own "stuff". Thank you, Sera.

Highly Recommended Home Away from Home.
This delightful cottage has been lovingly renovated with great flair and passion. Conveniently positioned within walking distance to the main centre of this sleepy little hamlet, it is warm and welcoming and has secure fencing front and back. A place for everything and everything in its place and clear directions makes for easy navigation of each room in the house. I loved the thoughtful little touches that you don’t often find - the 3rd bedroom having the mirror hung at child’s height and plugs in the power points to keep little fingers out of harms way. There is much to like in Port Albert- it’s relaxed nature, it’s interesting history, it’s fish and chip shop! Local coffee shop and fresh fish on the wharf. We followed all the recommendations of our host Sera and enjoyed them all, especially the Woodside Beach Hotel and the recently opened Ver Sicilia Italian Restaurant. If you are planning a trip to Port Albert stay here. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

Surpassed expectations
Better than advertised. A well located home with all facilities necessary for a very peaceful break from the norm. A beautiful coastal hamlet with the big smoke (Yarram) just minutes away. Also very much a rarity as it caters properly for dogs. Secure outdoor area, and dogs welcome indoors. We brought our lad's bedding with us, but water and food bowls were provided, and greatly appreciated. Phone reception is crap (a positive!) but the internet is sensational! We are really eager to repeat the visit in winter.

Our Pork Albert Adventure
We’re glad we chose to stay in such an absolutely gorgeous little cottage. It was clean, bright and very comfortable. Our puppy didn’t manage to escape so can confidently say the yard is dog proof. Port Albert is a lovely sleepy little coastal town. Really glad the tourists information folder suggested the Woodside Pub “The Woody” the meals on Friday night were so good we went back on Saturday night and will be going there again. We had a fantastic weekend Thank You Pete, Kath and Nessie
