About this property

Unique holiday home on a sheltered bay with uninterrupted view of Karri trees.

Discover the perfect blend of relaxation, adventure and coastal charm from this uniquely designed holiday home in Little Grove, Albany.

Blue Poles is a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home created to bring families and friends together, with spacious open plan living and dining areas on the upper level amongst the treetops, and 3 of the 4 bedrooms, and 1 bathroom, located on the ground floor.

The most striking feature of the home however, is the remarkable use of three massive jarrah wooden poles, repurposed from the original Port of Albany jetty and now supporting an extraordinary wide balcony stretching across the front of the home.

From this beautiful stretch of balcony, guests can enjoy uninterrupted views of the old growth Karri trees that stand between the home and the sheltered waters of Princess Royal Harbour, offering opportunities to birdwatch, paint, write, read and dine alfresco, or simply enjoy a sundowner while marvelling the changing colours across the majestic sky and trees.

It might be tempting to stay home all day, but the outdoors beckons. Swimming, sailing, fishing and picnicking activities are literally just a stroll away - and for the more adventurous types, Little Grove is a gateway to explore Albany's rich history, from the National Anzac Centre and Whaling Station to the picturesque walking trails of Torndirrup National Park, and the ancient Porongurups.

Whether you're indulging in local produce from nearby markets and wineries, playing boardgames around the 10 seater dining table, embarking on land or water sports adventures, playing golf just up the road, or simply enjoying the breathtaking views from the balcony, a stay at Blue Poles has something for everyone.

Lovely accommodation and location. Beautiful outlook. Great size for our whole family. Plenty of blankets and heating for the cooler nights. Nice welcome wine, chocolate and bread. Feedback: the 10th bed did not come with sheets, duvet or a towel, so we had to use the top sheet from a single bed and make the bed ourselves. The bedroom next to the bathroom had a musty smell, including the pillows. It would be great to consider getting a dishwasher in the future, if possible. Thanks for a great stay.

Walk to the wedding venue

Blue Poles was opposite the Sailing Club which was perfect for us as that was where the wedding was that we came to Albany for! It was great that we could walk to this event.

Family trip

Nice location close to a boat ramp. Comfortable house to relax after a day out.There isn't a smart tv, so if the kid's need more then free tv, you'll have to bring something along to appease them.For us it didn't matter to much, it got them doing other things.Overall, a great location if you're going for the whale station and national park attractions.

Relaxing place to enjoy nature

Good location as we wanted to explore Bald Head area. Only one general store nearby. Need to drive to everything, nothing nearby within walking distance. All aspects of the house excellent, the balcony overlooking the gum trees with many birds a highlight.
