Peaceful Tranquility
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.

Old World Charm
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.

Thank you so much for the review. Your stay, punctuated as it was with terrible winds and rain, and a power cut, probably wasn't as relaxing as you hoped. I hope to see you back again soon, so we can try again ! It was a pleasure having you stay.

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.

We welcome feedback from all our guests as it helps us improve but unfortunately some situations such as a neighbours birthday party are unavoidable but saying that our neighbours are approachable and would have been happy to take the celebrations indoors if asked. I have moved the garden products back into the garage, they are normally put away but no children were staying and I was using them over that weekend. The fridge has been checked and temp adjusted as the milk was in date and ours was fine. We are happy for our guests to approach us with any issues, as after you leave nothing can be done.

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.

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.

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
