Stays: Esperance Chalet Village, Western Australia
If you’ve been wanting to explore the coast of Western Australia, you’re not alone. It offers some of the most pristine turquoise waters and white sandy beaches in Australia. If Esperance is on your bucket list and you’re starting to look for somewhere to stay in, look no further than Esperance Chalet Village. Surrounded by nature, Esperance Chalet Village is a collection of rustic chalets, cabins and shacks tucked away in idyllic bushland just minutes from the centre of town. Surrounded by nature, each cabin is individually styled and exudes a sense of old school charm. Don't expect anything modern or ornate - exactly the way I like my accommodation.
For those of you who haven't heard of Esperance before, it's located just over 700 kilometres southeast of Perth, on the Bay of Isles. Renowned for its turquoise water, pure white sand, wildlife and dramatic coastline, it's home to the most beautiful beaches in Australia - I am not kidding. Make sure you check out my Esperance Travel Guide for all my tips for how to get there, getting around, where to eat, and what to see and do. And make sure you check out my Lake Hillier Travel Guide, yup - that gorgeous pink lake!
During our week long adventure in Esperance, we stayed in one a cabin. This rustic two bedroom, one bathroom, one level log cabin was perfect for us as Dusty had his own room and there were no stairs to contend with; it's hard work trying to keep a one year old away from stairs. Set amongst huge native eucalyptus trees and tucked away from the main Chalet Village, we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves.
The perfect thing about this Cabin is that it is completely self-contained, which is what a travelling family needs. Hello fridge, washing machine, air-conditioning, television, coffee machine, microwave and stove. Oh! And did I mention there is a BBQ on the balcony, and outdoor fire pit and plenty of room to park your car and trailer, or boat?
Our accommodation also included all of life's little luxuries that makes travelling with a little person feel like absolute heaven. The washing powder, coffee pods and Appelles Apothecary & Lab toiletries were a lovely touch, as were the two beach umbrella's, a bottle of chilled local rosé, biscuits and a stocked picnic basket from Bread Local (you can pick up her freshly baked breads and sweets from Bob and Jim's General Store in town) waiting for us when we arrived. Divine!
So what does a night here cost? The Cabin starts from $240 per night, with a minimum two night stay. So impressive! Esperance Chalet Village has a five night minimum stay over the Christmas period and it's so worth it because you truly do need that amount of time to unwind and explore all that this stunning area in Western Australia has to offer. My verdict? 5 out of 5 Stars.
