Perfect Location for a relaxing break

Very happy with the accommodation which was spacious and immaculately clean with great natural light and lots of thoughtful extras. Port Albert is a small town but there are a couple of good places to eat and interesting history to explore. Gowrie House was the perfect base to enjoy our break and great value as well. Recommended!

I loved the serenity of the property. The house had a warmth to it and was so inviting. I try to visit Port Albert yearly knowing it is a place where you can find a getaway from busy routine. I would definitely recommend Gowrie guest house.

The Loft

This compact stay is for those who manage stairs well. It's warm, comfortable and very well outfitted! A great space to crash and restore. Good eateries are close the surrounds are stepped in history! It's quiet, set apart and gives wonderful sunriesโœจ๏ธ

Short but sweet interlude

Lovely property and grounds, great location. Limited amenities and very steep stairs to access the accommodation but once inside it was a pleasant hideaway to relax from the days sightseeing.

Perfect Stay

The accommodation is in a very nicely renovated historic building. When Marcus showed us in he gave a lot of helpful information about things we could do and places to eat. Bicycles were also provided so we could do the Christopher Robinson/Old Port Trail. The Gowrie is spacious but can also feel cosy. There are also outside areas where you can sit and relax.

Needs improved heating for winter stays

A lovely property, close to everything - just a shame that it is very cold, a single electric heater in the living room just couldn't fight against the cold, particularly in the mornings.

Port Albert est bien situรฉ pour visiter les environs: promontoire Wilson, chute d'Agnes, parc Tarra-bulga, plages. C'est au milieu de ces diffรฉrents points ร  visiter. L'appartement est bien, mais il faut monter un escalier assez raide. Ceci pourrait รชtre un problรจme pour des personnes ร  mobilitรฉ rรฉduite. Ce n'รฉtait pas notre cas. L'endroit est propre et les hรดtes ont communiquรฉs avec nous avant notre arrivรฉe pour le Check-in.
