Wood Fired Pizza in Albany - Trojan Woodfired Pizza & Kebabs

We discovered a new Pizza place in Albany on the weekend. Trojan Woodfired Pizza and Kebabs on Stirling Terrace, next door to the Georges Hotel...open every night till late.  Serving genuine wood fired pizza....it was so good.  Friendly service - take away or dine in.  We tried the Trojan Fire and BBQ Chicken YUMMY!!!!  Crust was nice and thin with lots of delicious topping.  We will return and recommend!!

Albany's Beautiful Harbour

The view of our harbour from Marine Drive is stunning.....you can stand at any of the numerous lookouts along the way and be mesmerised by the awesome views.  Next time you are in Albany, take a drive along Marine Terrace from Middleton Beach into Town and stop along the many viewing platforms along the way.

Is quantity more important than quality?

At HideAway Haven we believe guests eat with their eyes.  After a visit to the US recently we discovered that quantity was more important than quality in a lot of places. Here are some random photos taken during our time away.  We did have some real amazing food while we were gone...this is just showcasing some of the bad.

Should we serve Gelato to HideAway Haven guests in the summer?

We visited Frost Gelato SanTan Village a very popular gelato spot....it was so hard to choose, luckily there were samples so we got try a couple. Becki had salted caramel popcorn flavour and Maggie had Ferrero Rocher. It was so delicious we are thinking of introducing it for our guests in the summer. Researching gelato machines and recipes now in time for summer.
