Address:

Wilsons Prom Retreat, 30 Dalgleish Road , Yanakie, Victoria, Australia

Description:

"Oh, how wonderful!" is what you will say when you arrive at the Wilsons Prom Retreat holiday house. The architect designed house will impress you, but the uninterrupted, 180 degree view over Corner Inlet to the Prom, Snake Island and the Strzelecki Ranges will take your breath away. When you step inside, you will know immediately that you will be comfortable in the large, four bedroom house. But you can see a problem looming: with such fantastic views, maybe you won't actually want to go out and enjoy the features of the area. But wait, the gates to the Wilsons Promontory National Park are just a few minutes drive away, and the beach on Corner Inlet is just a few minutes walk away. You know that you could go fishing, walking, bird watching, swimming, and so much more... But that couch looks so inviting, and the view so engrossing... Never mind - that's the type of problem you like to have!

Location:

Wilsons Prom Retreat is located at 30 Dalgleish Road, Yanakie. Drive towards Wilsons Promontory, and approximately 4 km past the Yanakie General Store you will see Foley Road on your left (there are signs for Singapore Deep, Yanakie Caravan Park, and Vereker House). Turn left and follow it almost to the end. Just before the road drops down to the water you will see Dalgleish Road on your left. There is one house on the corner and one house at the end - we are in the middle at number 30.

Local Attractions:

By now you should be convinced that we have excellent views. But why else would you stay at Wilsons Prom Retreat?

First, the house is on 1.2 ha (about 2.5 acres) and it is surrounded by bush, and is in close proximity to the beach and a variety of walking tracks. Corner Inlet is known for its abundant bird-life and other wildlife and you can expect the occasional visitor.

Second, we are five minutes drive to the gates of Wilsons Promontory National Park. There are fantastic walks and beaches. You can climb mountains, visit beautiful valleys, go swimming or surfing, and watch the emus, kangaroos, wombats and more.

There is so much to see and do at the Prom.

Third, there is a boat ramp at the bottom of the hill, which is the gateway to Corner Inlet and the open sea.

Corner inlet has some of the best fishing in Victoria. Snapper, gummy shark, whiting, and flathead are generally plentiful. You can also fish from the beach and you can fish on Shallow Inlet.

Other Information & Additional Facilities:

Views, and more views: Spectacular views abound at Wilsons Prom Retreat. We are on Duck Point, so the views wrap around the house. You can look North over farmland toward Foster. Or take in Doughboy Island with the Strzelecki Ranges beyond. Duck Point, just a few minutes walk away, is in the foreground as you gaze toward Port Welshpool and Snake Island. Or you can look across to the Prom itself, from Mt. Singapore to Mt. Vereker, it is all laid out before you. Bring your binoculars, because no matter what the time of day or the weather, there is always something to see. Of course, in the morning you will see golden sunrises over the Prom, and at night, watch for spectacular moonrises. And if there is no moon, prepare to be amazed! There is so little "light pollution" that the stars form a glowing ceiling above your head, with the entire Milky Way in view. If you like sunsets, you will not be disappointed. Just walk up the driveway and look West over hundreds of acres of farmland and some of the best sunsets you could hope for.
