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 sunries✨️

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.

Comfortable, spacious and private
The loft was excellent - a perfect stop off for us for a night in Port Albert. We came from the north and we’re on our way to Wilsons Prom and this was just what we needed. There’s history to Gowrie House and to Port Albert, and a fish and chip shop down by the wharf which was perfect for an easy meal while the sun went down. 90 minutes’ drive to Tidal River in Wilsons Prom, would recommend!

The best place to stay in Port Albert
Marcus and Cherrie were the consummate hosts you wish for. Very helpful and knowledgeable of the local area and the accommodation was second to none. Well appointed and full of lovely little surprises with that extra touch not normally seen. A lot of effort is apparent and the property is very well maintained. We will be back again.
