Whalers Galley Cafe sits at the Historic Whaling Station Museum, 81 Whaling Station Rd, Torndirrup. The key detail for dog owners: well-behaved dogs are welcome on the outdoor deck, making it a practical stop before or after exploring the southern coast.

Dog setup. The outdoor deck is the designated dog spot. Dogs must stay on a leash at all times and are strictly not permitted on chairs, tables, or other furniture. Aggressive behaviour is not tolerated and owners must clean up after their dogs. Indoors is reserved for humans only.

Known for. Casual breakfast, lunch, and afternoon tea. The menu leans towards coffee, scones, and jam and cream. The deck offers pleasant views while eating, making morning or afternoon tea an ideal time to visit.

Getting there. The address is 81 Whaling Station Rd, Albany WA 6330. It is reachable by car from Albany city centre via Frenchman Bay Road. Parking is generally available at the Historic Whaling Station Museum complex where the cafe is located.

Nearby with the dogs. The cafe is a short drive from The Gap, Natural Bridge, Misery Beach, and Frenchman Bay, though note that Torndirrup National Park itself generally does not permit dogs. For more dog-friendly dining and accommodation back in Albany, consider Due South, Gourmandise & Co, or Acclaim Albany Holiday Park.

Keep your dog on the deck floor and off the furniture. The staff enforce these rules strictly, so settle in on the ground and keep the leash short.

Keep your visit simple: tie up on the deck, order a coffee and a scone, and enjoy the view.
