About this cottage rental

Nestled in Strathalbyn, this charming cottage for $148 per night is a great choice for your next break. Set in over an acre of gardens on the banks of the river Angas sit our heritage listed C1860 bluestone restored cottages. The Gasworks once provided the gas for the town of Strathalbyn until it ceased production in 1917 and is now beautifully converted to accommodation for its owners and guests in our lovingly restored private fully self contained cottages. The Manager Cottage as its name suggests was once the home to the Manager and his family that lived on site to maintain and run the factory but is now a spacious and romantic period cottage with two sleeping areas, both beds are queen sized and have electric blankets, one bedroom is adjoining the lounge. The second bed is a romantic four poster queen bed and occupies its own room with own access to the bathroom. The bathroom has two way access and consists of large corner luxury 2 person spa and walk in shower, WC and wash hand basin, there is also a heat/light/fan unit. The cottage has a well equipped kitchen with four burner gas cooktop (please note there is no oven but there is an air fryer), a bar fridge with a freezer compartment, a microwave, kettle and toaster and a coffee pod machine. Heating/cooling is provided by a reverse cycle air conditioner in both bedroom areas and a flame effect electric heater in the lounge area. A comfortable lounge with large screen TV with built in DVD player and a sound bar with blue tooth connectivity so you can connect to your phone and play your own music. As an added bonus there is a peaceful sunroom with views over your own private walled garden and beyond down to the river. Take a stroll around our beautiful landscaped gardens that have won seven years in a row Best Business Garden and in 2019 also won the overall Grand Champion Garden across all garden catorgies. Maybe enjoy a picnic on the lawns down by the River. Pets welcome inside but not on the furniture/beds, please call to advise you are bringing your fur baby. A fee of $40 applies, payable direct . Dogs must be on a leash when in gardens and not left alone in the cottages. We have a secure fenced area beneath the cottage for when you need to leave your dog to go out. Choose to cook breakfast in your own kitchen with the ample provisions we've provided for your first two days free of charge or if you prefer for an additional cost of $15 per breakfast paid direct, order the full Gasworks English style breakfast cooked for you and delivered to your cottage at a time of your choosing. On sunny days maybe you would prefer to enjoy it on our vine covered terrace overlooking the gardens. We have a large range of DVDs to loan free of charge as well as books and magazines. NBN internet for free is available in all our cottages. A launderette is conveniently 200 metres away across the road. We are situated in the beautiful historic town of Strathalbyn, the southern end of High Street, just a short stroll from the town centre with its Antique shops, Heritage railway, Motor Museum and many dining options, Local wineries and a golf course are within a 10/15 minute drive. Beautiful beaches at Goolwa, Port Elliot and Victor Harbour are an easy short drive away 30/40 mins.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Gasworks, with beautiful gardens and a creek to walk next to. Very clean accommodation that was presented beautifully both inside the cottage and out. Would recommend to others.

Property has amazing gardens that get better when it gets dark. Property keeps its cool warmth as walls are so thick. The Breakfast provided was excellent, not continental like most provide. Being in the heart of Strathalbyn means most facilities are just a quick walk away.

We've driven this road many a time and never knew this incredible B&B was there. From the greeting we received on arrival and the introduction to the cottage, it was warm and friendly. The cottage itself was immaculate, a snapshot in time. Just the right features to make the stay comfortable and not spoil the period appearance. We only had a two day break but left feeling refreshed, and the breakfast was awesome.
