Self Contained Accommodation in Albany
Albany has a wide range of self-contained accommodation with varying prices. I use a combination of Airbnb, Stayz, and Booking.com, depending on which one has the lowest price, and I’ve never had an issue with any of these booking platforms. If the prices are similar, I go with Booking.com as they offer a genius discount and free cancellation on most of their properties listed.
All properties have air conditioning as that’s always a requirement of mine.

Fourteen on Peels is luxuriously furnished with magnificent views of Princess Royal Harbour. This apartment is located in a commercial district, so only a single car parking space is available outside, and access is via the rear of the building. Parking is easy to get in and out of on weekends, but on weekdays there are usually more cars in the neighbours’ parking bays; however, access is still available.
It has two bedrooms, one with a king bed, and the other with a queen, both very comfortable. There’s one bathroom with a shower, and the kitchen is fully equipped with a stove, oven, and dishwasher.
