Live Local - Albany

The Beach House at Bayside is located in Albany, the hub of the Great Southern region of Western Australia, located around 400 kilometres south east of Perth. Albany sits on the incredibly beautiful and wild south coast of WA. The Beach House at Bayside is located just 150 metres off the dunes along the magnificent 5 kilometre stretch of beach running from the flat, pool-like water of Emu Point to the spectacular Ellen Cove at the end of the renowned Middleton Beach.

 

The region's beaches are routinely named among the best in Australia - Little Beach, Greens Pool and Elephant Rocks in Denmark. Albany's iconic Emu Point and Middleton Beaches, are just minutes from The Beach House at Bayside. 

 

Albany lays at the heart of the Great Southern Wine region - Australia's largest wine region and produces authentic and unique cold climate wines.
