Whale House | Gracetown - Breathtaking Ocean Views
Imagine sitting back and taking in breathtaking views from one of the best locations in 'The Bay'
With a large renovated kitchen and spacious deck to watch the waves roll in, Whale House is the perfect base for your South West adventure!
Only a short stroll to the beach, general store, Cape to Cape trail and surf breaks, Whale House is the perfect choice for groups of friends or families looking for a well equipped home to explore the region.
This home has unforgettable ocean views and a relaxed beach vibe!
The Space:
If you're hoping for a new and modern home, Whale House might not be the right choice for you - however, if it's a comfortable and laid-back base that you're looking for this is the perfect choice!
The kitchen is fully renovated with every utensil you could need to cook up a feast for your family/friends! Not to mention the ocean views and sunsets which will make you slow down and take it all in!
Upstairs bedroom one has 1 x Queen-size bed, bedroom two has 1 x Queen-size bed and bedroom three has 2 x Single-size beds. Downstairs, bedroom four has one Double-size bed - please note that this is a 'sleep-out' style room, accessible on the ground level with a separate entrance. The house is approved to have 6 guests only.
The large lounge room has stunning ocean views with TV, Bluetooth speaker and wood-burning fireplace. The living area opens onto a balcony with amazing views, there is a BBQ for you to enjoy an evening meal or sit back and sip a glass of local wine out on the deck at Sunset.
The main bathroom upstairs has been renovated and features a walk in shower, the separate WC is just next door. Please note, while the first bathroom is newly renovated the second bathroom is still in the original condition, it is downstairs with access from the undercroft area. It shares the laundry space and while in perfect working order it is great for a quick rinse after a surf, but not as pretty as the upstairs bathroom.
With great views, large living space, undercroft outdoor area under the house, 4 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms and 2 toilets this makes a great relaxed house to share a holiday with families.
Planning Approval Number: P220530
Other things to note
Perfect for Families - however, please note that children MUST be supervised on the deck and stairs.
As mentioned above the 4th bedroom is in a separate 'sleep out' room downstairs, outside the main house.
Coffee Pods: Please bring your own Nespresso coffee pods for the coffee machine
Strictly No Parties or Leavers.

About the host
Hosted by Swell Stays
Hi - we are Dee, Nichole & Sarah - we make up Swell Stays, a holiday home company in the Margaret River Region.
We all live with our families in Margaret River and manage houses in Margaret River, Prevelly and Gracetown. We love living in Margaret River and wake up everyday feeling like we are "Living the dream Down South".
We love our region and enjoy getting involved in all that our community has to offer - you will often find us visiting the local Farmers Market on Saturday mornings, drinking coffee at one of our favourite local Cafés (Egberts or White Elephant), joining a Walk Talk Taste Tour of our town's best restaurants & bars, visiting one of our many cellar doors to purchase some local wine or spending a whole day at the beach with the kids!
We want our guests to be able to relax and enjoy all our great region has to offer and at Swell Stays we understand the importance of cleanliness and customer service, which in turn creates the perfect holiday experience for our guests.
We hope you love your chosen Holiday Home and love exploring our region as much as we do :)
