THE GRANGE ON KALGAN (2 Bedroom - Max 2)

The Grange on Kalgan

If you are a “nature lover” seeking a nice relaxing country “retreat” away from the hustle and bustle of suburbia and city life then this is the place for you!

Welcome to The Grange on Kalgan a unique heritage "premium" farm-stay set in a fresh country setting located just 22kms from the City of Albany.

Eco Tours available at 20% discount!

I am a Sustainable Tourism Operator with a simple page of house rules that reflects my sustainable values. Guests will be treated to a guided tour of the property and discover how ‘The Grange on Kalgan’ has successfully adopted eco-responsible sustainable practices involving recycling and plastic free, organically grown produce, solar energy and how the owner actively supports the conservation of native fauna and flora.

Please note I live in a separate private area of the house as I need to run and manage the property and you can use the kitchen (which is shared) and bring some food - 25kms from town. Kitchen facilities are available but please supply own foodstuffs.
