Unearth the deep history of a port city - Albany. An Australian gem located on the rugged south coast, 418 kilometres south-west from Perth. Discover a past rich with stories, from Aboriginal heritage, convicts and settlers, whaling and sailors. This is the place where Europeans first set foot in Western Australia.
Visit the Albany Whaling Museum to hear tales about the whaling industry or go to The National Anzac Centre and learn about Australia's war history. Albany holds a strong significance to World War I because it was the place where the Australian and New Zealand soldiers met and where the ANZAC concept was formed.
Located a short stroll from the heart of Albany, this property was built in 1890, and is oozing with Australian heritage and charisma. Many prominent Australian citizens have lived here over the years too. Your host, Cheryl, warmly welcomes you and invites you to make yourself at home.
