About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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 & coffee grinder, 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, 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 includes a flat plate griddle BBQ.

This place has the most wonderful view of the bay and you can even see Albany from the house. It was the perfect place to stay with our two boys and grandparents. Goode beach is a quiet place where the residents are friendly and life just is slow. Great spot to explore hikes and walks and beaches for swimming and fishing. Jen and Richard are great hosts, responsive and welcoming. We would love to come back one day.
