Wonderfull again!
We brought a ute load of split hardwood with us, along with a very happy dog. That fire box is magnificent, the walks so good, and our visit was just the best. Friday night fish and chips could not have been better! We are hoping to visit again after the next school holidays. Thank you, Sera, it’s always good.

Pawfect country escape
What a perfect little escape this was from reality! It’s rare to find such well equipped weekend escapes that not only allow our fur babies, but include & cater to them. This gorgeous cottage escape had literally everything you could possibly have needed. The open fireplace an absolute added bonus for these cold winter days. Location great. Within walking distance to the gorgeous little pier and the walking tracks perfect for the dogs! The large yard was like Xmas all at once for our little oodle boys who have a very small yard at home & they loved the space. I can honestly say, I would be happy to book this again for a weekend getaway. Thank you Sera for a great place to escape the city!! And life, even if just for a couple of days !

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.
