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 a good range of 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 baby 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.

Bedrooms 2 and 3 also have queen size beds with lovely 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 limited 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.

Please note that the driveway and parking area is not suitable for larger trailers, caravans or RVs - pls contact the owners if you require clarification.

Fantastic view

We really enjoyed our stay at Sound View Retreat. The view from the house was fantastic, I could easily spend a whole day just looking at the ocean from the living room. The communication with the host Jenny & Richard was very easy and the house had everything we needed. Highly recommended!

Perfect Getaway with Modern Comforts and Close To Beach and Attractions

We had an amazing stay at this property! The accommodation was clean, modern, and well-maintained, offering all the amenities you could ask for. The location was perfect—secluded yet conveniently just a 5-minute walk from the beach. Plus, it's near the national park, offering great opportunities to explore nature. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches and attention to detail throughout the space. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a peaceful, comfortable stay with easy access to the outdoors!

Amazing retreat

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for our family. The property was as listed and was like a home away from home with all the things we needed (and even things we didn’t think we needed until we needed them!) excellent communication from property owners before, during and after our stay, who made our stay so easy and incredible. We will definitely be back! Highly recommended.
