Built in 1850 by George Cheyne, one of Albany's early pioneers,
Norman House is a grand Georgian building, with a magnificent
Magnolia tree (c1880's) and English Oak (c 1830's) in the grounds.
Also in the grounds is the original cottage c.1832, built of ballast
bricks and with Sheoak shingles. Now Norman House offers the guest a
comfortable and charming place to stay while touring the Great
Southern and Albany. Return from a day out to complimentary
afternoon tea, made with fresh eggs, and a cup of tea in the lounge,
then stroll into the city for tea. Perhaps relax in the sun room
overlooking Princess Royal Harbour and catch up on the post
cards...or some reading.
