The Harwood property is the last vestige of the thriving timber town of Quindalup. Situated on Caves Rd, four kilometres east of Dunsborough, near the tranquil waters of Geographe Bay, it comprises four heritage buildings; the former homestead, which contains the cafe, a free-standing kitchen, which is used as a dining room, the 'Old Barn', which is self-contained accommodation, and the limestone government building.

The government building has three rooms which once housed the original Quindalup post office, a customs facility and a lockup. The rooms have become a museum, depicting their original use and contain information about the Harwoods and Quindalup.

The buildings were in a dilapidated state when Norma Andrews's parents, Ken and Blanche Albrey, purchased the property in 1976. Restoration was carried out in three stages between 2000 and 2005 and the property is now a graphic reminder of the area's pioneering days.
