Wisteria Cottage has been our go-to place to stay in the Albany area since 2010. The owners work hard to keep the premises up to speed, and, given the rate, the property represents excellent value for money. I tried to book in again for New Year and sadly, but unsurprisingly, Wisteria Cottage was booked out - (Gutted!). Suffice to say, every time I ask my kids where they’d like to stay (my daughter is 14 now, and son 10), I expect them to say ‘somewhere else…’ but they always, always, ask about Wisteria Cottage…! The proprietors have got something really special going on here; it's a really lovely place to stay, and you will be hard pressed to find 2 harder working owners who ensure that guests are vitalled on arrival with fresh eggs and milk! A hidden gem.

Approximate cost: $150
