Escape to the Great Southern at this beautiful stay, The Lookout Albany

While the Great Southern in summer is truly spectacular, there’s something pretty magical about taking in the majestic forests and wild southern ocean in the cooler months.

Just 700m from Middleton Beach, The Lookout Albany is a stunning contemporary retreat no matter the season – whether you’re frolicking at the beach or settling in with a glass of local wine to enjoy the views across Mount Clarence, Lake Seppings and Emu Point.

The bespoke home was lovingly built just last year by local father and daughter duo Bert and Sophie, who have partnered with other local businesses to make your stay extra special.

The Lookout Albany sleeps you and seven of your nearest and dearest as you enjoy your lush getaway – made even more rejuvenating with in-house treatments on offer from local go-to day spa The Temple. Is there anything more relaxing than enjoying a massage without having to get in a car?

And while there are countless world-class dining options on your doorstep, you won’t have to venture far with grazing platters and champagne on offer on arrival or throughout your stay.

You’ll also be greeted with a generously stocked scullery and a bountiful welcome basket of local produce to get your stay off to a delicious start – including local WA Bush honey, a bottle of Monty’s Leap wine, Bred Co baguette, butter and fresh milk, plus home-grown eggs and seasonal herbs and veg.

If you do feel the need to get some salty Albany air, the home is surrounded by walking trails and bike tracks – or hike up Mount Clarence for an invigorating afternoon adventure.
