About this property

A spacious riverside retreat suited to families, groups and couples

Welcome to Forget Me Not Farm situated on 480 acres along the Kalgan river's long pools of silence.

Experience this 1975 built sturdy stone farmhouse, with original timbers from the property and open plan living. Step outside to the soaring gums and long country walks at your doorstep. Or bring your kayaks and explore the Kalgan river, along with the Luke Pen walk and swimming at Big Pond only 7 minutes away.

Close to local wineries and popular dining such as the renowned Maleeya’s Thai at Porongorups, Monty's Leap 5 minutes away, or Nippers Cafe at Two Peoples's Bay for breakfast with views over the bay.

Or drop into town for some shopping and sightseeing, and then head back to the farm to escape from the world and have a wine and a meal on the verandah or by the log fires.

There are two fires in the house; one gigantic firebox in the main living zone which is a showstopper, and a second intimate wood fire in the lounging/TV watching/chat zone.

East of Albany and only 20 minutes from town you have Gull Rock, Nanarup, Two People’s Bay, Little Beach, and Betty’s and Normans beaches only minutes away. Keen fishers will love all the nearby options.

This is a place where families can enjoy wide open space, run around, make a mess, fly kites, or simply sit by the log fire in winter and do nothing but stare at the trees … or take a 1 hour drive to climb Bluff Knoll at the Stirling Ranges. For a shorter climb the Castle Rock Granite Sky Walk is a 35 minute drive from the house.

This generous house has welcomed large groups for decades and can accommodate several families wanting to holiday together.

Unlimited WiFi, BBQ amenities and a full chefs kitchen fitted for keen cooks.

Refined but not precious. You’ll feel refreshed, rested and restored.

Perfect Getaway

The perfect getaway for our family. The house was absolutely beautiful with so much space.We felt as though we were staying at a retreat, yet it had a warm, homely feel. Janelle was so friendly and helpful and very knowledgeable about the area. Great location, close to beaches, the national park and a quick drive to Albany.
