Exceptional accomodation, it was spotless, walking distance to the pier and loved the Hamptons theme. Appreciated the coffee machine and chocolates on the bed. Would love to visit again in winter and use the fire pit.
Great location, in town. Lots of amenities inside the house for cooking. Clean and organised. Would definitely recommend. Stayed with our two kids for a weekend.
We recently stayed at Hampton Cottage with our two children. We had never visited Port Albert and it did not disappoint! Hampton Cottage is so cosy and perfectly kept. The beds are comfortable and the Cottage is so clean. The location is in easy walking distance to everything. The Fish & Chip shop and Italian restaurants were great. For things to do in and around we visited Agnes Falls, South Gippsland Tank Adventures and had fun fishing with the kids. Hampton Cottage was a perfect, quiet family holiday. Thank you!!!
Wonderful stay, very comfortable, felt like home away from home.

Very nice overall, but it is worth noting that there is no wi-fi, and no mobile coverage at all, at least on Optus. Also no microwave. Also the battery for the aircon/heater unit was dead.
A lovely new cottage located steps away from the heart of a town that is filled with the early history of Victoria. The property is exactly as offered online. Marcus was there to greet us when we arrived, with the bottle of champagne in the fridge being a nice touch.
Thank you for your kind hospitality.
Lovely, comfortable accommodation in beautiful Port Albert. Cherrie & Marcus are the most generous hosts we have ever stayed with, doesn’t get much better. Thanks so much, looking forward to our next visit.
