A comfortable and relaxing time in Hopetoun
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.

Great stay in lovely Hopetoun
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.

Hopetoun Honeymoon at Ocean View Retreat
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!

Hopetoun Home
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. Ruth

Beautiful Home in Hopetoun
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.

Hopetoun getaway
Our stay was lovely. Wood fire for atmosphere and heating with electric backup. Views to the sea and sunsets. Clean inside with cosy rammed earth walls. Better than expected. Only negative was the main lighting is a bit dim. Not enough to cause a loss of stars and compensated by the lampstands provided.

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.

Best family holiday
We had an amazing holiday in Hopetoun. We stayed a week with two children. We thoroughly enjoyed the house, watching the sunset from spa bath, enjoying the fireplace and watching and listening to the birds. The house is well equipped and offers everything you need. Hopetoun is a beautiful spot with a great playground, skate park, good food and of course amazing beaches, scenery and wildlife.

Very clean and tidy. A bit out of the way for beach access. A bit of a funny layout and the dining table could have been bigger only seats 4....but very comfortable and good equipment in the kitchen. Would stay there again and have told friends about it.

Very comfortable house close to town centre
We had a very enjoyable 2 days at this house in Hopetoun. There is not much accommodation in Hopetoun but from what we saw this was one of the better ones. Although there were only two of us, the house is suitable for a family with children and is a short walk to the town centre. The Fitzgerald National Park is nearby with lovely coastline, walks and views.

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.
