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.

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.

We definitely enjoyed staying at the Blue Poles. The house was very well equipped, spacious and welcoming. Its location was just fantastic, being a short drive to Albany and to the start of many hiking trails. We would not hesitate to book it again.

Golfing Weekend

The house was comfortable for the 3 adult couples in our group with a big A/C that provided plenty of warmth. The location is about 11km out of town but not really a problem. There is a General Store about 1km away which also sells fuel and alcohol. The 3 main bedrooms are large with comfortable Q/S beds. One minor issue is the soap provided does not lather very well ( hard water?) and if soap is provided then shampoo would be handy. Also, the house information does not specify the check out time.

Birthday Trip

Thanks for a great stay, we loved our time at Blue Poles. The whole family came along to help celebrate my birthday and there was plenty of room for us all, as well as our dog who, once he mastered the stairs(!) had an absolute ball. Location was great, easy to get to and it was fantastic sitting out on the balcony morning and night listening to the birds & enjoying our (adult!) kids playing footy in the park - who says no wifi is a bad thing?! Would definitely recommend if you have a large group wanting to spend quality time together in a beautiful spot, hosts were quick to respond to any queries also.
