Winter Escapes in Esperance - A Different Kind of Beauty

The wonders of a winter getaway in Esperance WA. Esperance is the jewel in Australia's Golden Outback crown. Feted for its world class beaches, all 'a glow' in the summer months, crisp white sand and every blue hue on the Pantone colour wheel from aquamarine through to turquoise. The mesmerising beauty of the deep south is still as captivating and magical in the cooler, winter months. Gone are the summer beach crowds, queues for coffee or 4WD's testing out tyre pressure on the squeaky white sand. Cue crisp mornings, vistas of lush green paddocks and rugged dewy, rocky outcrops.

There's high tides, winter swells and pounding waves all to yourself. The ultimate luxury of peace and breathing space - by the bucket load.

Esperance Chalet Village is the ideal location to immerse yourself in the wonders of a winter escape with all things nature. No passing traffic, just the soothing sound of mother nature, abundant birdlife and distant winter swells kissing the boat harbour walls behind the village dunes. There are fire pits to recline by day or night or embrace the soothing rituals of setting and stoking the fire, collecting kindle and warming hands.

There's nothing quite like a mid afternoon fire side session after a long bush or beach walk. Grabbing a brew of choice from award winning local brewers - Esperance Distillery Co who infuse their gin with an array of indigenous flora or Lucky Bay Brewing - a truly unique 'paddock to can' offering with entirely local grains harvested from farmers up the road. Slowly savouring and sipping as the afternoon sun disappears through the gum trees.

Slow days, followed by slower nights retreating indoors for long soaks in the luxurious bath tub or nestling into spacious and sumptuous pure linen bedding with a good book or binge watching a favourite series on Netflix. Grab a blanket and head outside to experience natures ultimate light show with some of the most magnificent starry skies.

Booking your Esperance accommodation with us - is more than just a good nights sleep and long soak in the bath though. After a scenic drive to reach us (Albany 5 hours, Perth 7 hours away) its always nice to ditch the car and get out from behind the wheel. Grab a complimentary village bike to cruise the bike path to town or a kayak to paddle Bandy Creek on your door step, or simply get horizontal outdoors in one of the double hammocks slung between the towering gum trees.

Perhaps some hunting and gathering from our local gourmet providores Bob and Jims for a winter cook up in the village kitchen is always fun when there's no time pressure or hungry mouths to feed, char grill some vegetables on the fire, slow cook the comfort food in the camp kitchen or get creative with some homemade pizza's with lighting fast, whizz bang little pizza oven Roc Box.

So gather your favourite people, special someone or book a solo winter escape to Esperance now. Take advantage of our special Winter Escape promo and stay an extra night on us!!
