Summary of reviews
Great accommodation in a quiet and peaceful area. Enjoyed the hosts and the atmosphere of the heritage cottage. Would highly recommend to others.
5.0
We enjoyed a much-needed quiet comfortable stay. Used as home base for our day trips out and about, slept well every night. Walking distance to excellent antique store nearby and many attractions to visit in the region to keep you busy for days.

Really awsome

What the photos don't show is that the water supply comes from a rain water tank which, after a long, dry summer, delivers tea coloured water. The place was tidy but not clean. The kitchen was an alcove with a tiny sink, no oven or stove top and a tiny table which would not have been adequate for food preparation.
The rooms in this old stone building smelled of mould although when I mentioned this the host disagreed with me.

Great accomodation - just far enough out of town to be quiet and peaceful, but definitely enough not to be a bother. I really enjoyed this accomodation and would recommend to others.

Property in lovely quiet area but we left as soon as we could due to the smell of black mould resulting in breathing difficulties, found live mouse under tea towel, cobwebs, thick dust in bedroom. Although breakfast is supposedly supplied there was only enough for 2 out of 4 days. Two bath towels supplied for three people. No response from property manager. I found the property not fit for purpose due to its unhygienic condition.
2.0
On arrival it looked delightful, but entering it was cobwebbed and not clean. There were too many electric leads about the kitchen. No hot water in the kitchen made it very hard . The way the rooms were guests had to access a bedroom to reach bathroom and kitchen. This could be easily remedied by making the lounge a bedroom and the bedroom a lounge.
Overall it was disappointing because the situation was excellent. We appreciated the breakfast goodies and the splendid bedding

We loved our time as the Gate keepers! We enjoyed many a cup of tea on the verandah, watching the little birds. The brekkie provisions were most appreciated - yum! Greg was helpful when we needed him but left us to our own devices the rest of the time. In a word: perfect!
5.0
A very quaint, secluded, quiet and private cottage. Not too far out of town, with a lovely cottage garden and grassy yard space.
We stayed for one week over the summer break and found the cottage, due to the thick walled historical building was cool in temperature. Considering there is no kitchen, there is a small room with fridge and sink and bench space available for smaller food preparation, we coped well. The bbq was well used, by us, along with visits into the town for a great range of takeaways or dine in options. I would definitely return to Willyung Gate Keepers Cottage again.

The property is spacious, location is good. Well furnished.
There is no proper kitchen, the water from tap was not very transparent so we drank bottle water.
On the last day of our stay, while we were warming food using the microwave, the power went off i think the circuit was over loaded which is surprising because we were not even using the heaters, just microwave. It was around 7pm when this happened, then we tried to call and message the property manager 10s of times but no answer. Eventually the water went off as well and did not come back next morning 7am. The whole night without power and water, it was hell of a night with a kid and elderly.

Great historic cottage, in a quite area which was ideal for switching off and relaxing, yet only 12mins into town.

Properly is unique and located in a nice country setting.
in general the property was clean and living ares were in good repair however being a very old building it did have a damp smell needs a air refresher installed. Veranda area needs thruogh clean including little table and pillows on cane chair. Can use some general repairs around garden front gate. For all this we enjoyed ouyr stay

The owner was very responsive when needed.
We enjoyed our stay.

The cottage has been furnished with antiques and paintings of the era. Comfy beds with warm linen. Lovely gardens surrounds the cottage and you can sit on the verandah to enjoy a cup of tea. A short drive into town and surrounding sites.
Not haunted, which was a big disappointment for my friend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay in this very cute Gatekeepers Cottage.
Greg was lovely and we spent awhile looking through his antique shop next door and he gave us some ideas for expiring around the area. Highly recommend for a weekend getaway.

We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage out of Albany. It was quiet and peaceful. The cottage was old and well furnished with period pieces. The age and quirkiness was part of its charm. The bed was one of the most comfy we have slept in. Heating kept it cozy and warm. The kitchenette was adequate although a few new utensils would be of benefit. Breakfast supplies were fantastic and very much enjoyed. Thanks for a wonderful stay and we have already recommended it.

Greg and Rhonda were fantastic hosts thankyou. The old cottage is cosy, it was good for the 2 of us as a couple, and the hosts supplied really nice provisions for our breakfast which we happily cooked ourselves. We were lucky that we had 2 nice days in Albany during July so cooking our breakfast and eating on the front Porch in the peaceful surroundings was enjoyable. The location near King River Bridge is only about 12 kms or so out of Albany central so an easy drive into town and the sites. Albany is a beautiful town and area to explore. The good thing about this location is you are close to exploring great bays and beaches and areas around Lower King, Nanarup and 2 Peoples Bay area and beyond. Also just that bit closer to the Stirling Ranges and Porongarups.

Had to postpone our original booking due to cOvid, but owners were more than happy to change date. Thoroughly loved this cottage, a lovely antique shop in a barn on property would recommend a mooch around in it. House was lovely and cosy and clean. Would recommend staying here.
2.5
Lovely cottage, very comfortable and in an idyllic setting. Kitchenette difficult to wash up in as sink too small and appeared to have no hot water. Shame as the fridge was filled with fresh produce for a cooked breakfast. Nevertheless would definitely stay again.
2.5
Lovely old stone cottage which is well equipped with bedding, towels etc. Cooking facilities are limited. The fridge was generously stocked with eggs, bacon, butter and milk.
A great place to get away from it all.

Need to go through second bedroom to get to only but large ensure bathroom co-located with single toilet. Privacy issues if all guests are not direct family.
Nice grounds.
Woolworths and shops.at Chester Pass mall 8km from property on 80 kmph road circa 7min. Very convenient.

Quiet during our stay.
Very nice peaceful stay if the guest arrangements are suitable for the set out.
Watch the deep ditch on car entry on left side for first time arivals. . Maybe the large pot wooden pot can be moved between the ditch and road verge.

Everything in the Gate Keeper's Cottage was in keeping with the era of the property. The BBQ breakfast out on the verandah was so delightful, and the atmosphere was quiet and pleasant. We look forward to future stays there.
