ONE FINE DAY

Esperance, WA

Pure morning

Wake up at (1) and roll out of a sumptuous king-size bed, dressed with Western Australian designed linen bedding by Bedtonic. Enjoy Plantmade WA granola by the creek that hugs the boundary of the village.

Bike, beans and brew

Jump on a cruiser bike (2) and trace the coast into town. Stop by

(3), where the beans are locally roasted and the brews are served in handmade pottery.

Go with the tide

Peruse the wares of local artisans at a collection of historic buildings turned retail stores. (4) is our go-to for funky, curated mementos and is the HQ of the town’s fave monthly read, the Esperance Tide.

Brunch on the bay

Continue a little further down the road to (5), a must for a long, lazy brunch. Sip on a blackberry bramble on the porch overlooking the bay and fuel up on vibrant, local produce.

Shore thing

Swap the cruiser for an e-bike, available for hire from head up the hill and along stopping for a dip at some of the most glorious beaches in the country. Your choices are endless but local faves include (6) and each more spectacular than the last. Keep your eyes peeled for playful pods of dolphins.

Take a break

Go back to ECV for a siesta in a hammock by the creek, or get into a kayak and onto the water.

Fresh and local

Head to (7) for beer that’s not only brewed locally, but made using barley grown just on the edge of town.Then swing by the nearby to pick up something for dinner. Or catch it yourself off the jetty at

Starry night

Return to ECV to cook your fish on the open fire, by the creek, under the stars. Pair with crusty Bread Local sourdough and a Great Southern pinot noir.
