Emu Point Beach Cottages: Cockleshell Cottage-pet friendly accommodation
About this house rental
Cockleshell Cottage is your home-away-from-home-by-the-sea. It is located on a quiet street overlooking a park, just 200m from gorgeous beaches, and 500m from the popular Emu Point Café and kids play park. Our family has holidayed at Emu Point for over 60 years and have many wonderful memories of time spent at ‘The Point’. We welcome you to enjoy our family holiday home and create your own special memories. Please read all the information below to check that our property is suitable for you and your travelling companions prior to booking with us. The cottage is stylishly decorated and has everything you will need for a relaxing beach holiday or cosy weekend away, including a fully equipped kitchen, generous living/dining area, wifi and smart TV and undercover parking. The cottage was built in 1968 in classic modernist architectural style, and we have retained many of the retro mid-century fittings. The master bedroom has a queen bed and single bed, while the second bedroom has a triple bunk (double on the bottom, single on the top). The bathroom has a shower and bath, with a separate lavatory. The laundry has a washing machine, dryer and ironing facilities. All bed linen and towels are provided. A starter pack of coffee, tea and milk is also provided. There is a large backyard which is shared with the neighbouring Oyster cottage. You are welcome to use this space but request that you respect the privacy of any guests staying in Oyster cottage. There is reverse-cycle conditioning in the main living/dining area, an electric blanket on the queen bed and plenty of extra blankets. Extra heaters or fans can be provided on request. As a family of dog-lovers, we love to welcome your pets too. Cockleshell cottage has a dog trampoline bed and feed/water bowls. Cockleshell cottage is accredited with the City of Albany under their Holiday Accommodation (Pet Friendly) Policy. Please be aware that the Policy does not permit dogs in bedrooms, on any furniture and or left unattended at a property for extended periods. Our large backyard is fenced on three sides but is NOT secured from the road because it shares a common driveway with Oyster cottage. There are many off-leash dog exercise areas around Emu Point, including the beach at the end of our street towards Emu Point Marina and the large oval, Bovell Square, across the road. Please note there is a pet fee of $15/day for one pet and $20/day for two of more to cover extra cleaning. When booked with its neighbour cottage, Oyster, the cottages provides an excellent place for large extended families or groups of friends to stay. For infants and toddlers, cots and high chairs are available on request. On departure, please leave the cottage in a clean and neat state and wash all dishes.

I cannot fault this property. It was clean, comfortable, secure, supplied adequately, felt like home. It was pet friendly but there were little extras that just made it perfect, like doggy towels for wet pooches, a lead hanging by the back door for urgent toilet walks, bowls in the laundry and even a pet bed if needed. The location is lovely in Emu Point, 6 mins to Middleton beach, 8 to central Albany and also in the opposite direction to IGA for supplies. I will be going back and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anybody looking for a comfortable, clean 2 bedroom place to stay.

A lot of thought has gone into this holiday house by the beach, we had a wonderful few days. If I was going to ask for anything to add it would be a pedestal fan for the bedroom for the summer months & maybe a brighter light in the kitchen.

We were very impressed with this well appointed property. Close to beach and town centre. Kitchen items for meal preparation of good quality. When we arrived, the reverse cycle air con had been turned on and the lounge was warm. Little things like that make a difference.

Overall the property was very comfortable. Nothing flash but homely. Location was wonderful inc proximity to dog beach. Pet friendliness could be improved with a couple of gates however the dog bed and bowls in the house were a nice touch. Very happy with our stay
