Emu Point Beach Cottages: Cockleshell Cottage -pet friendly accommodation

We are transitioning over to a new site from 21/12/2024, everything stays the same but may take time for all information and review to come across

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, Wi-Fi with smart TV, Nespresso coffee machine 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 enclosed 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.

Please note Albany can be VERY cold in winter. There is reverse-cycle conditioning in the main living/dining area, an electric blanket on the queen bed and plenty of extra blankets for those cold nights. Extra heaters 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 small pet fee to cover extra cleaning.

When booked with its neighbour cottage, Oyster, Cockleshell Cottage 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.
