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 & 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.

    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.

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.

We had visitors from Perth join us for the weekend and they were blown away with the view! Unfortunately we didn’t see much sun but it didn’t rain! It was quiet and secluded! Cleanliness was a 10. If we were to give a negative it had no air fryer but we lived without it! Value for money was a no brainer so thank you so much
