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.

The balcony view was lovely and relaxing. Even when it was a little windy and cool, you could enjoy the views through the large windows. The house is perfect for socialising with friends and family. We had a wedding at the yacht club over the road, the location was perfect.
We had an amazing stay. The house had everything we needed and was in a great position. Not too far from Albany centre but far enough away to be comfortable. Our host was very helpful and promptTo reply if we had a query. Would thoroughly recommend this accommodation

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.

Great location, fantastic and spacious property with a great view through the trees into the bay. Quiet spot but close to Albany and to the great touristy places near the Blow Hole etc and the national park.
