Sherwood Cottage is located on 15 acres of lush grounds and although the gardens are still being developed, we boast a majestic 100+ year old oak tree (Quercus robur) reportedly grown from an acorn originated from Sherwood Forrest, England. The private residence 'Sherwood Cottage' is noted on the City of Albany Heritage Inventory. Post WW11 period, it is a charming rural Australian style cottage constructed of weatherboard timber and corrugated iron roof.Welcome . We are located 10 minutes from the centre of Albany. Our secluded camp spots are nestled under native trees alongside the meandering Creek.  Site #1. This site is located next to our pond under the shade of a large blackbutt tree. The site has grass underfoot and a picnic table for your convenience. Additional camping spots  are accessed via a small bridge. Access is limited to cars and small campers  only. Once you have crossed the creek, you can choose where to camp. The terrain is parkland cleared paddock, shaded by melaleuca. The creek runs closely by and can be heard trickling all year round. We have a large area for caravans, however we do like to offer our campers as much privacy as we can, so will only have two or three larger vehicles and /or vans in this area at a time.  As we are at the beginning of our journey to welcome campers, we have no facilities available at present. Campers will need to BYO everything and have their own porta-loo and dispose of their rubbish.  Fire restrictions apply as per local gov and DFES notifications. Firewood and a fire-pit can be supplied, when permitted, for a small additional charge. One friendly dog per site. As our 'girls' (chickens) and ducks are free range along with numerous visiting wild birds, dogs are required to be on a leash at ALL times. Horses welcome. Must supply own portable yards/fencing. Our dog "Finn" is a frequent visitor to the campsites. He likes to ensure his property is safe and does a  'perimeter inspection' each morning. He is friendly, but quite large. PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS A VERY LARGE WORKING WATER- WHEEL IN THE CREEK. This was hand build by Dave  It is NOT fenced. There is open water and working windmills on the property,  CHILDREN MUST BE SUPERVISED AT ALL TIMES. For safety reasons the Windmill towers and waterwheel are not to be touched. You may notice, if you look at the aerial property photographs, we have our very own Kart track. If you have karts and would like to bring them, please contact us prior to booking.

The beautiful King River is a 5 minute drive away, the Kalgan River 10 minutes and numerous beaches to choose from all within a 20 minute drive.

A Lovely Stay in a Quaint Location
We loved our stay at Sherwood Cottage. Dave and Helen were warm and welcoming and we immediately felt at home. As you drive past the house and over a little bridge, you enter an open field next to a running creek. Although there were a couple of other groups also staying the same weekend as us, we found a lovely spot under a tree next to the creek. There was a picnic table also in this area which was handy. There is one drop toilet that is well maintained and includes information on what there is to do in the area. Overall, we had a lovely stay and cannot wait to return. Thanks Dave and Helen!

We stayed one night with our camper. A large beautiful property with loads of space and privacy. So peaceful and lots of grass. Helen was lovely and so quick to respond given how late we left our booking. The new drop toilet is great and the places to visit board in the toilet was a lovely touch! Would definitely recommend

lovely location, highly recommend
What a lovely place to spend 4 days. Helen was extremely friendly, and was often out and about working around the property. Well kept grounds and a lovely setting. Hope to get back again soon.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sherwood Cottage. An awesome place to base yourself while exploring Albany and surrounds. Quiet and peaceful, plenty of room so that you feel you are there alone, and the flashiest drop dunny ever. Thanks Dave and Helen for sharing your lovely property.

Absolutely Perfect....
Wow, We highly recommend staying at this little oasis. There is heaps of room so your not on top of one another and Helen and Dave honestly couldn’t do enough for us. The lawns were just so manicured and so lush and green. Thank you so much!

Picturesque property
This place is so beautiful we wish we had a property like this. We had a great spot right next to the creek. This property is close to town but far enough away that it isnt loud and full of people. We would definitely stay here again
