Spend an Afternoon in the Jacuzzi

We thought the ultimate luxury was a Jacuzzi under the open skies and under a trillion stars.  Tonight the Haven stays empty so we treated ourselves to 5 o'clock wine time in the Jacuzzi.  This is the time when the birds come out to feed and play.


We were delighted to observe two devoted and very affectionate doves. One bird of the pair was sitting in a tree branch right above us and called out for its mate with a two-note call.  They were reunited and he greeted her  with very low, raspy coos. We watched as they cuddled with each other and exchanged very rapid light pecks around the neck and head while slightly shaking their wings. 


We watched the Finches, Parrots and Rosellas play in the trees and eating seeds.


The Jacuzzi has panoramic views of farmland, Emu Point and the Kalgan River. So spend the afternoon in the Jacuzzi and languish in peace and tranquility

Dining out in Albany

As luxury accommodation providers, our aim is to give our guests the ultimate experience while in Albany.  We like to be able to recommend places to eat, so we are trying the many restaurants in Albany.

Tonight we headed off to the ‘new’ Rustlers Steak House. The minute we walked through the door we were immediately impressed by the gorgeous surroundings. Rustlers have chosen their colours wisely and used the space well of what used to be a Health Club.

Rustlers has a real rustic steak house feel

The stunning interior

Rustlers has an extensive wine list featuring local wines

The owners have combined the art of communication, service and awesome presentation of the food to create the perfect dining experience.  The menu was extensive and catered for all tastes and includes vegetarian and a kids menu. For those of you that have dined there before you will be pleased to know that their menu of ‘man-sized’ sizzling steaks and local seafood has not changed. For those of you planning a trip to Albany put it on your list of places to eat while staying at HideAway Haven. Rustlers have been gold plate finalists from 2003 – 2007 and again in 2009. Great job Tammi, Dean and staff!!
