“Beautifully renovated home, great views, nice and quiet and next to Main Street. Highly recommend.”
Glenn10/10 verified Expedia review
“Perfect location with stunning ocean-view and lovely town scenery. Plenty of shops and amenities nearby for everything we needed. The house is incredibly well-equipped, everything is brand-new, clean and super convenient to use. The kitchen is fully stocked with beautiful cookware and tableware. Lovely potted plants and tasteful decorations fill the whole space, bringing so much warm, homely charm. There are also plenty of soft blankets to keep you cosy. Our host was thoughtful, warm and attentive beyond expectation. They had the lights turned on ahead of our arrival, clearly explained how to use the heating, and even left a beautiful hand-written welcome card together with little treats. All these sweet little gestures were such a wonderful surprise and really touched our hearts. Albany is such a beautiful town, and staying here was absolutely the best decision we made on our road trip. All you need to bring is yourself for a perfect, comfortable stay. 10/10, highly recommend!”

“We loved staying at the Yellow Door. The cottage was beautifully renovated and styled, with great views of the harbour. Doug and Joel have thought about everything you could need for a relaxing holiday. The location was excellent and was within walking distance of a wide variety of cafes, restaurants and bars. We would highly recommend the Yellow Door and the hosts, and will definitely book again next time we visit Albany.”
Luke5/5 Airbnb guest review · stayed 23–26 August · 3 nights
“Absolutely outstanding stay. The host had everything perfectly set up from the moment we walked in — nothing left to chance. The space was incredibly well organised, with thoughtful extras exactly where you need them, and the whole place was beautifully done. It felt polished, welcoming, and far above a typical rental. Check-in was effortless, the property was spotless, and every detail had clearly been considered. We felt completely looked after and would book again without hesitation. Highly recommended.”

Jimmy5/5 Airbnb guest review · stayed 2–4 September · 2 nights
“What a beautiful AirBnB! Cannot rate this place high enough and would’ve definitely stayed longer if we knew how truly amazing it is. It’s a lovely cottage with amazing amenities plus Doug & Joel has provided us with more than enough complementaries. Every detail in every room was well thought of to make us feel right at home. Every room was spectacular to be in - the living room was cosy and comfortable packed with all the entertainment we need, the kitchen was well supplied with kitchen utensils, coffee and fruit with a beautiful view of the coast and town, bathroom with more than enough towels, a hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner and soap and a great laundry with a washing machine and dryer with supplies. Not to mention the amount of spaces to sit around and lounge for the day including on high or lounge chairs at the front patio, living room, dinning room, a beautiful study overlooking the town and outdoor patio. Location is perfect and is walking distance to town. 10/10 communication”
