Park Lane Guest House

This is by far a little slice of heaven located right in the middle of everything but feels like a secluded getaway. Shakti was an excellent host and an amazing chef who brought us breakfast on our garden patio every morning which was a highlight to each day. The attention to detail was superb and the thoughtfulness that went into our stay by our hosts was something you wont see very often anymore and was greatly appreciated.

A little piece of paradise right in the middle of town. Stayed here for a short mother daughter get away and this place is a gem. The Garden Cottage is charming and the grounds are beautiful. And we were served a delicious breakfast. We will definitely stay here again!

How I want to use all the cliché terms and not sound too much. This place is an oasis in the middle of the world city. SoCo is just a few metres away, the destination for live music bars, restaurants and high end stores. Yet, when you are in your cottage it feels like you're on an island with the courtyard garden and pool giving off a chic look that only a lifetime of inves**ent can pull off. Everything in the cottage has been painstakingly assembled. We surprised ourselves by playing 1970s Monopoly (U.S. edition) that was kept in one of the cupboards. Keeping with the 'keep it weird' theme Austin lives by, you'll find a magazines dedicated to chickens, chandelier hanging from the tree, an old camera on a tripod (manual hanging from it) being used as a lamp and much more. The daily breakfast is made from scratch and is always a pleasant surprise as it varies everyday. That with a garnish of conversations with Shakti is always a great start to the day, as she is a repository of tips to make the most of your visit. This was like staying at one's aunt's place; it's not perfect but that's the point!

I can honestly say that this is my favorite stay ever. I am not sure when I'll be back to Austin but Park Lane availability will determine my dates. So many things to love here! The bed was comfy, the room was nicely and thoughtfully furnished. My favorite part was eating that delicious breakfast outside while listening to the birds. I also spent a lot of time in the beautiful pool. The outside shower was great too. Oh! And being able to walk anywhere easily. Truly loved it! Can't wait to come back!

This place is adorable with an amazing host. Peaceful with a short walk to town.

Everything was eco friendly. Inn keeper was very friendly and helpful.

What a gem! The property offers a true Austin experience. Exceptional eco friendly, eclectic, artsy design in the best SoCo location. Owners are a delight, the veggie breakfast delicious. Be sure to touch base with the property regarding room options before booking to get the one best suited to you. We loved our stay.

A bit quirky, which is perfect for Austin. Delicious breakfasts delivered to the room and you can eat outdoors or inside. Super close to South Congress - we didn't have a car and were able to walk or uber everywhere very easily.

Clean and cozy, it felt like we were staying in the home of a friend. Shakti goes above and beyond with an eye to detail and delicious home made breakfasts served to us in our room. Perfect location, close to great shopping, restaurants and live music. We give it a 10!
