About this property

Sound View Retreat - Secluded & Peaceful

Sound View Retreat is a lovely secluded beachside location where you can relax with family and friends.

The views from the open living area extend over Lake Vancouver to the townsite of Albany, across Princess Royal Harbour continuing around to King George Sound and the Southern Ocean. Emu Point at the entrance to Oyster Harbour channels the view towards the Stirling Ranges which can be seen on a clear day.

The Sound is a popular retreat for the great Humpback whales and Southern Rights as they make their annual migration along the coast. At the right time of the year you don't even have to leave the comfort of the lounge to see them relaxing and playing in the Sound.

Whether it's a summer holiday enjoying the pristine beaches and nature trails in the area or a cosy winter break watching the waves crash onto Breaksea Island as you sit by the wood fire, Sound View Retreat is the place to be.

Rooms & Facilities

The modern kitchen has a breakfast bar with lots of bench space, gas cooktop and electric oven. The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel cookware, modern crockery and all necessary utensils together with microwave, dishwasher, espresso machine, cafe press and blender.

The adjoining dining area has a large table which can very easily accommodate 8 adults with 5 chairs and a long bench seat.

The open plan living area has a wood burning fire, is equipped with a 55" smart TV, free on-line movies, bluetooth sound bar for your music and a leather lounge suite.

The front verandah is adjacent to the open plan living area and is a great place to relax with a glass of wine on a summer evening. Here you'll find the BBQ facilities which include a flat top BBQ and a Weber Q.

Bedroom 1 has an ensuite and a queen sized bed. Sliding glass doors give access to a small patio with garden views and ocean glimpses.

Bedroom 2 is currently set up with a second TV and DVD and has a pull-out double sofa bed. This room also has access to the front verandah and great sea views.

Bedroom 3 also has a queen size bed, sea views and access to the front verandah.

Bedroom 4 has two single beds and is located toward the rear of the house

Bedrooms 2, 3 and 4 share a common bathroom (with a bath) and a separate toilet.

The hallway nook has a good supply of kids toys, books and games.

The laundry is equipped with a front loading washing machine, clothes dryer and ironing facilities.

An under cover fold-out clothes line and extra fridge/freezer are situated in the downstairs garage.

An outdoor hot water shower is available at the rear of the property - a great way to rinse off the sand after a visit to the beach.

Extra Information

All bed linen and towels are supplied - please BYO beach towels.

Incredible location, views!
Our family - ages 10-82 had a terrific stay. Jenny was so helpful during the check in process, and especially in addressing any concerns about the building happening next door. This ended up being no issue at all - the builders were considerate and we hardly noticed them. The kids loved the fact that the beach was a 3 min walk, with amazing rock clambering opportunities depending on the tide - and lots of interesting beach combing too! The house came more euipped than we expected based on the description - the kitchen had a lot of extras and was well set up to host our larger group. We can’t say enough about the views and location and hospitality of Jenny & Richard!

Peace and perfection
Everything was perfect. The house could easily accommodate seven. Owners were on top of everything and very responsive. A perfect retreat after the days activities. We hated to leave. Book with confidence.
