About this property

Lucy’s Place by Swan BnB Management

Welcome to the Great Southern! Tastefully renovated house centrally located in Mount Melville. This is a great base to visit the many stunning beaches (Misery beach was voted Country's best for 2022), walking and cycling trails, epic hikes and also the Porongorup wine region. Something for everyone and we’d love to welcome you to this beautiful part of WA!

Self check in but we are available by phone, text and email for any questions or emergencies.

Mount Melville is the western border of the city with the house approximately 2.5 kms to main street – York Street. There’s plenty of tourist attractions in and around Albany including the ANZAC centre, Historic whaling station as well as many other natural sights, beaches and walking / biking trails:

(a) Middleton Beach – 5km, less than 10min drive

(b) Emu Point Beach – 9km, 11 min drive

(c) ANZAC Centre – 5.5km – 10min drive

(d) Whale Museum – 20min drive

(e) Wine Region (Porongorups) – 30min drive

(f) Town centre (Brig Amity) – 2.6km – 5min drive

(g) Activity centre – ALAC, less than 2km away, 4min drive

(h) Mount Melville lookout tower – 2km away, 5min drive

The porongorups are a great area for both wine lovers and nature lovers. For wines it is best known for award winning reislings but also pinot noir, Shiraz, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Plenty of scenic walking and biking trails with amazing views and native flowers.

Entire house

Lucy's Place is located in lush Mount Melville which forms the west border of the CBD. Upstairs the house features airy open plan kitchen, dining and living space inviting plenty of natural light. There are two queen bedrooms and one with two singles (each room has it's own portable heater) plus a generous sized bathroom and a relaxing bathtub for the days you need to unwind with a book (and if you forget your own, there’s a selection of books in the downstairs retreat).

A romantic fireplace helps warm the house for the chilly nights keeping you cozy and the well-appointed kitchen with large oven, stocked with basic needs (tea, coffee, oil, herbs), flows seamlessly to the dining space with an 8 seater table to entertain. Double doors lead out to a cute alfresco area overlooking the generous and immaculate backyard, a great space to watch the kids kicking the footy.

For those that might need to work away from home, there’s wifi and a dedicated work desk downstairs which also features an ensuite, comfy couch and downstairs alfresco area. This is also a wonderful private space to curl up with a great book and cup of tea while looking out to the lush gardens, or to sit and meditate.

The house is a great base to visit many stunning beaches like middleton beach and emu point, walking and biking trails, hikes and also the Porongorup wine region – something for everyone.

Driving is the easiest way to get around although there are lovely cycling trails if you don’t mind some hills! 😅

There is a set of stairs for the down stairs retreat and the garage is used for storage so won’t be accessible, parking is in the sealed drive way.

*Prior to your stay, we require you to complete a pre-arrival form and sign & agree to our rental conditions.

Wedding party
We absolutely loved the house. It was beyond our expectations. It was beautifully decorated and so clean. The reeds and candles were a lovely touch and it was so lovely to smell these everytime we came home. The studio downstairs was an unexpected surprise and served as an excellent space for our wedding preparations such as our hair and makeup. Our hosts were easy to communicate with and left some lovely touches in the kitchen. Overall a wonderful place to stay and prepare for my daughter's wedding. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.

Perfect
Absolutely perfect for our group who were in the region running in a 3 day trail event. It meant we could all be together as a team but never feel like we were on top of each other. The house was so comfortable and homely a treat to come back to after a long day on the trails. The nook and extra bathroom was a major plus. The Hosts managed a couple of requests wonderfully. Would definitely recommend.

Great place to stay!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The house is well presented, very clean and tastefully decorated. The fresh loaf of bread and milk in the fridge, supplied by the owners, was a pleasant surprise. I highly recommend this property. You will not be disappointed. We would definitely stay again. Thanks Mark & Ange!

Beautiful house, great location.
Dealing with property owners prior to arrival was pleasant. Given the owners are new to the business, they were very accommodating of a query I had prior to arriving. Beautiful property with very nice furnishings. Super comfortable beds. A lot of stairs which was not great for an older person with back issues but we managed. Great location central to everything you need. Thanks for having us!

Spacious well presented house in good location
My wife and my parents enjoyed a 5 night stay. We found the house to be well presented, spacious, and great location with some views. The downstairs bathroom retreat was very useful to use for some private time although the stairs are quite steep. We would recommend to anyone and would stay again

A Home away from Home
Our 3-nights stay at Lucy's Place listed by Mark and Ange, was a wonderful and relaxing experience. The property was very well equipped - specially crockery and cutlery. We found it clean and decoratively arranged with a lovely personalised welcome sign too. The complimentary food items left for us was a pleasent surprise. The downstair study with attached toilet and bathroom was great when one needed a liitle private escape amidst the fun and frolic. The property sits amidst quite, lovely surroundings and is conveniently located. Mark and Ange were very responsive whenever we messaged and we would love to be staying at Lucy's Place again.

Trip to Albany
The property was well presented and very clean. Great amenities and very generous owner who left some basics, a welcome drop and some wood for the fire. This was all received gratefully and set the week up for a lovely stay. Thankyou again for making our stay a week to remember. Thanks.
