A lot of effort had been put into providing all that you would need for your stay. Really appreciated the wood burning stove as it was very cold during our stay. Being close to National Park was great.

Thank you, Keith. I am glad you enjoyed your stay and were able to keep warm. This winter has been very cold!
Lovely big family home with upstairs deck to enjoy the view and plenty of living space. A great spot to stay for day- trips to Fitzgerald River National Park. We really appreciated the washing machine and drier!
Property was well located being walking distance to town. Lovely upstairs balcony perfect for watching the sunset with a glass of wine.
Beds very comfortable & warm.
We had a great time, loved Hopetoun, loved Fitzgerald National park, & loved our accommodation.
Will definitely return.

Thank you, Leisa, I am so glad you enjoyed your stay and found the house comfortable. You will always be welcome .
Stunning view, comfy location, and absolute stunning property
We had a wonderful stay. The kitchen and living area were well stocked and perfect for cooking delicious meals.
Beds were comfortable and each bedroom was nice and privite. The upstairs area was comfortable as a stand alone bedroom and as a lovely relaxing area.
The location was close to town, easy access to the local cafes and pub as well as the well stocked IGA and General Store/Post Office.
Would love to stay here again.

Even in winter, this home has it all. Wonderfully cosy house with wood burner (very kindly prepared by our host). Stunning coastal views from the upstairs deck and spa. Walking distance to local IGA, pub and waterfront. Perfect, relaxing place to unwind.

Great location with good views in Hopetoun
Ocean View Retreat is a great place to stay for a family or group of friends. It is in a perfect location, quiet street, walking distance to town and the beach, nice views of town, ocean and the national park and lovely to wake up to the birds singing each morning. Pia provided a portacot and high chair which made travelling with a baby much easier. Highly recommend.
We are a family of 6, and had a fantastic short stay in Hopetoun. The property is close (walking distance) to the shops, playground and jetty. The house was spacious, clean and well kept. Comfortable beds. The only thing that was missing was a dishwasher.
But overall, a wonderful house well equipped to accommodate families.
Leslie was fantastic to communicate with. The house is perfect. Spacious Lovely home
Loved our stay. Great communication with Leslie from the start with booking. A great host. Lovely home.spacious. Never wanted for anything. One of the best places we have stayed. Great garden area. Birds abound. Just a great place to come back to after exploring beautiful Hopetoun. Thankyou Leslie.

Thank you for your very kind comments. So glad you enjoyed your stay.
Thank you, Leslie, for sharing OVR with us. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay which helped make our visit to Hopetoun and surrounds a delight. We enjoyed the garden and being able to watch the sunsets and moonsets over Mt Barren and the ocean from upstairs. It is an easy walk into town and the beach and the Salty Sip Co coffee van. A nice view to be had from the Port Hotel whilst sipping an ale. Edwina was helpful too, thank you.

property was pleasant and comfortable but bathroom floor seemed to be continually wet around vanity basin ?
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Mud brick walls ground floor, corrugated iron upper floor. Combined modern rustic and industrial decor which works well. High ceilings. Heaters in every room, wood burning stove (mid October, chilly nights). Spa for two in the upstairs living area. Quiet. Two BBQ’s. Kitchen well supplied. Country garden with many small birds. Sunny, wide verandah. Front steps uneven - better to approach front door from the side verandah if carrying luggage from car in driveway, for instance. Lovely, peaceful home.

We were delighted to stay is this delightful home in Hopetoun. It is so lovely and comfortable, clean and well located. And the host was very accommodating. I look forward to returning some time soon! Thanks.
We had a wonderful stay at Ocean View Retreat! Everything was exactly as pictured- the views of the ocean and Mount Barren from the spa were a delight! The wood fire also enjoyable after a day exploring in wintery conditions. Whilst unexpected we were so grateful to receive the most beautiful wedding card congratulating us along with a bottle of bubbles which was very much enjoyed. A lovely house and the bed very comfortable too! A great place to stay and would love to again when next in Hopetoun!
