Esperance Chalet Village, Your Ideal Winter Getaway
Winter has arrived! This might fill many with dread but at Esperance Chalet Village, it’s one of the best times of the year. The Esperance accommodation is the perfect place for a winter escape, whether it’s a romantic getaway or a family holiday with the kids. Esperance might be known for its endless stretches of coastline, pristine blue water and pure white sand, but that doesn’t mean it’s only a destination for the warmer months. There is so much to see and do in Esperance throughout winter and Esperance Chalet Village is the ideal launching pad. From whale watching and picnics, to stargazing and roasting marshmallows, here are just a few ideas:
Go whale watching
Between May and the end of the year, humpback, southern right and blue whales pass by Esperance. They’re often so close to shore that you don’t even need binoculars to see them! Whales are often seen around the town beaches, including Castletown Quays, which is just five minutes from the centre of town. They also love to make their way along the Great Ocean Drive, a scenic coastal road stretching 40-kilometres. To get as close to the action as possible, make sure to book accommodation near Esperance, such as Esperance Chalet Village.
Warm up by the fire
Sitting under the stars while you roast marshmallows on an open fire is an experience few people have living in the city. At Esperance Chalet Village, it’s part of daily life! Throughout winter, the complimentary open fire pits are going daily, so pour yourself a glass of wine, pull up a stump, and settle in for an evening of snuggling up next to your loved one, or stargazing with your kids.
Picnic under a coloured sky
Winter sunsets are some of the best sunsets you’ll see all year. From fantastically fiery hues of red and orange, to pretty pastel hues of pink and purple, your Insta followers won’t believe your photos aren’t filtered. Take a picnic and bottle of bubbly up to Dempster Head, just a 10-minute drive from your Esperance accommodation holiday house at Esperance Chalet Village, and watch the sun go down in style. Sure, it might be a little chilly, but the coloured skies are absolutely worth it.
Take a leisurely drive
Winter is a great time to jump in the car without a planned destination. Throughout Esperance and surrounds, there are loads of great places you could end up, from the coast to the countryside. Take a walk through Helms Arboretum and then drive on to the Gibson Soak Hotel for lunch by the fire, or watch dolphins playing in the surf at Wharton Beach before stopping in at the Condingup Tavern for a drop of red to warm you up.
