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 Stables Cottage as its name suggests was once the home to the horses that lived on site but is now a cosy romantic cottage for two with it's own lounge/kitchette and separate bedroom with queen bed and ensuite spa bathroom. (please note the shower is postponed over the bath and is therefore unsuitable for people with mobility issues, best option is the Garden Suite but if you are okay with the steps in the flooring, the Manager Cottage has a spa with separate shower).

Situated at the end of the gravel drive, privacy is guaranteed and you enjoy beautiful views of the gardens. Take a stroll around the beautiful gardens, maybe enjoy a picnic on the lawns.

This Cottage not suitable for pets, please book our pet friendly option The Managers Cottage.

Choose to cook breakfast in your own kitchen with the ample provisions provided for your first two days, or you can opt to have your breakfast cooked for you and delivered to you at a time of your choosing, contact us for prices and more information.

We offer a romance package, which consists of a bottle of locally produced wine (red, white or bubbles) and chocolates. Contact us after booking to arrange the romance package, delivered cooked breakfasts or to discuss any other special requests.

We have a large range of DVDs to loan free of charge as well as books and magazines. We also supply a portable blue tooth speaker so you can play your own music stored on your phone. A laundrette is conveniently located approx 200 metres away across the road from the property. NBN internet for free is available in all our cottages.

Parking whilst staying is in our diagonal car spaces just outside the property. You are welcome to drive down to unpack and then again when you are packing.

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.

    The hosts Graham and Heather were absolutely the most welcoming! They were lovely and respectful to my partner and I as well as giving us space to truly relax together comfortably. The stables cottage is gorgeous, all the amenities were amazing, the place was super clean and cozy and overall it was the most wonderful romantic getaway. The breakfast materials provided were also amazing!! My partner is lactose intolerant and they were super happy to provide us with oat milk instead of normal. We didn't do too much exploring of the area, the gardens at the cottages are beautiful though and the Pond seating area at the Victoria Hotel was lovely. We will absolutely be staying here again at some stage, really do recommend it for any couples looking for some romantic and relaxing time away :))

    We adored our stay. Central to everything but the beautiful gardens made us feel like we were in a secluded place. Will definitely return.

    An amazing place. Everything at Gasworks was of the highest standard and quality. The property and gardens are stunning, with so much room to walk, relax , watch the chickens or the wildlife around the running creek. So relaxing. Provisions for breakfast were generous and appreciated. The history of a bygone era has been maintained. Hosts Heather and Grant are so welcoming and friendly and happy to leave u to yourself or have a chat if u wish. Will definitely be going back, excellent value for the standard of this property.

    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.

    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.
