About this cottage rental
Set in over an acre of gardens on the banks of the river Angas sit our heritage listed C1860 bluestone restored cottages.
The Gasworks once provided the gas for the town of Strathalbyn until it ceased production in 1917 and is now beautifully converted to accommodation for its owners and guests in our lovingly restored private fully self contained cottages.
The Stables Cottage as its name suggests was once the home to the horses that lived on site but is now a cosy romantic cottage with own lounge/kitchette and bedroom with queen bed and ensuite spa bathroom. Situated at the far side of the property, privacy is guaranteed and you enjoy beautiful views of the gardens. Take a stroll around the beautiful gardens, maybe enjoy a picnic on the lawns.
This Cottage not suitable for pets, please book our pet friendly option The Managers Cottage
Choose to cook breakfast in your own kitchen with the ample provisions provided for your first two days free of charge or have your breakfast cooked for you and enjoy on our vine covered terrace overlooking the gardens for an additional cost.
We offer a romance package, which consists of a bottle of locally produced wine (red, white or bubbles) chocolates. Contact us after booking to arrange the romance package, delivered cooked breakfasts or to discuss any other special requests.
We have a large range of DVDs to loan free of charge as well as books and magazines. We also supply a portable blue tooth speaker so you can play your own music stored on your phone. A laundrette is conveniently located approx 200 metres away across the road from the property. NBN internet for free is available in all our cottages.
We are situated in the beautiful historic town of Strathalbyn, the southern end of High Street, just a short stroll from the town centre with its Antique shops, Heritage railway Motor Museum and many dining options. Local wineries and a golf course are within a 10/15 minute drive. Beautiful beaches at Goolwa, Port Elliot and Victor Harbour are an easy short drive away 30/40 mins.

Great communication from Heather leading to the stay.
The location was quiet and peaceful. The Gardens are beautiful and lively to walk around.
Loved the spa.
There was breakfast provisions on arrival and a nice tasting port.
We did get into the township for coffee and a cheeky takeaway, however stayed mostly within the accommodation which was incredibly comfortable.
It was lovely to meet Heather who was very polite and welcoming. Thank you for having us.

Heather and Graham are wonderful hosts who welcome you like old friends. The Stables Cottage in which we stayed was perfect for a couple. Lovely Old World charm with modern conveniences. The breakfast provisions were very generous. Tim Tams and port for the evening was a lovely extra. The gardens are beautiful and provide a quiet sanctuary. Highly recommend this lovely retreat.

Unique Accomodation
The cottage was an historical, unique and cosy place to stay in our 3 nights in Strathalbyn. Well appointed, with plenty of local tips from the host re dining out and other activities. Perfect location( so close to town) and of course a short drive to the wine region of Langhorne Creek as well as the coastal areas. Loved the high quality breakfast provisions and the complementary Port. Perfect stay- loved it.

Centrally located, historical accommodation in manicured gardens
Greeted on arrival by Heather who was very welcoming, and also by jake the resident dog. Accommodation was pleasant, although the neighboring property sits so close to the cottage (stables cottage) that we could hear everything going on next door, even just them talking. Unfortunately for us there were gatherings going on both nights next door so it was quite noisy into the night and first thing in the morning.
Breakfast was provided however our milk was off, and I’m sure it would have been no drama to ask for more, but we decided to head out for breakfast instead. Personally I would have preferred our milk and especially meat products (bacon was supplied in snap lock bag) to be provided in original containers/packets to be able to determine best before dates.
A suggestion for the cottage would be to have a full length mirror, perhaps behind the bedroom door.
A beautiful cottage with amazing garden surrounds, it’s was a shame that the noise of the trucks on main road above and the noise from the neighbors reminded you that you weren’t alone. Another suggestion would be to have all of the chemicals and poisons out of sight next to the garage (where we parked our car) as for anyone that may have young children, this could potentially pose a risk.

Snug as a bug and cool as a cucumber!
Heather and Graham are warm and generous hosts who made our stay in their Manager’s Cottage a delight. We were able to day-trip to Victor Harbour and the fabulous vineyards, taking in all of the unforgetable scenery along the way. Each evening we returned to their magnificent garden, the cool and comfort of the cottage and the extra thoughtful homely comforts missing in many other stays. We highly recommend The Gasworks Cottages.

Idyllic cottage in a picturesque setting
Words don’t do justice to this wonderful property and the amazing hosts. From the moment you arrive in the driveway the view takes your breath away. Heather and Graham are the perfect hosts and make the stay extra special. My partner and I are so glad we chose Gasworks Cottages to spend a memorable weekend away.

Heaven on Earth
What a lovely find, the cottages are beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. The gardens are luscious and well tended. The stream running through the gardens is a bonus. Our hosts Heather and Graham were a pleasure to deal with, making sure we were very comfortable and had everything we needed- we even enjoyed fresh eggs! We’re definitely planning on returning as soon and as often as possible. Thank you
