About this house rental
This property is the ideal comfy and relaxing stay at one of WA's top 10 beaches. The beautiful and family-friendly Emu Point is a 5-minute walk from Fisherman’s Rest, with other amazing beaches also within walking distance. With plenty to do in and around Albany, staying at Fisherman's Rest offers a comfortable home-base so you can explore this beautiful part of WA.
We are ideal for families, large groups, or even multiple families. Guests enjoy our large roomy beach house including an enclosed outdoor patio, sunroom, and lounge/dining area. Children and pets are welcome and safe within a gated backyard. We are fully equipped; with everything you will need to make your stay convenient.
Fisherman’s Rest suits everyone. If you’re looking to do as many fun activities as possible, we are centrally located to Albany, and by the beach if you don’t want to leave (you won’t!). If you’re looking to relax and unplug, Emu Point fits the bill. On a quiet, private street, Fisherman’s Rest is nothing short of tranquil.

This configuration is usually perfect for large groups or multiple families – we like to recommend our guests use the bunk room as a fun kid’s room! (Plus, the adults get their own end of the house – enough said!). The bunk room has a separate dressing room attached with clothes hanging space and drawers.

As well as a fully functional and equipped kitchen, there is a large, private outdoor area. Opening out with double doors from the sunken sunroom, is a perfect space for getting everyone in the house together.

In summer, the beautiful weather combined with this ambient space will make you not want to step a foot inside! With our fairy lights and heaters, it is the perfect late-night space. Enjoy your summer nights in the warm air, looking at the stars by the beach.
Emu Point
Emu Point is a renowned holiday destination due to its' beautiful, protected beaches perfect for swimming, snorkelling, boating, kayaking and paddle boarding. There is a fun, social atmosphere in and around the areas' highlights, such as the local eateries, while the houses maintain a peaceful ambience. The neighbourhood is safe and family-friendly. There is also a dog beach and park.
Emu Point features a scenic dual cycle/walking path to neighbouring Middleton Beach, and up to the Anzac Centre. There are also smaller paths through the bush within the suburb, providing an excellent opportunity to see local wildlife and nature.
With an amazing central location, getting around Albany from Emu Point is easy. It is only a short 10-minute drive into the city centre, but with the bushland and the beach surrounding you, the privacy of Emu Point is unparalleled in Albany. Emu Point is the fabulous intersection of off-the-grid beach vacation, with convenience and comfort.
Albany
Whatever your interests, Albany will not disappoint.
Beaches
Albany boasts an abundance of beautiful beaches. There are beaches for swimming, surfing, snorkelling, FWD-ing, fishing and boating just to name a few water sports.
My favourite beaches include Misery Beach (crowned best beach in Australia 2022), Greens Pool and Elephant Rocks, Little Beach – simply stunning crystal blue water and white sand, Gull Rock, Two Peoples Bay, Whaling Cove, Blossoms Beach, Peaceful Bay, Middleton Beach, Goode Beach, Waterfall Beach, Frenchman’s Bay – the HMAS Perth dive wreck is great for exploring!
Looking for the best beach on the day – easy, just use the ‘Beaches of Kinjarling’ app. Shelter ratings updated every 15 minutes!
National Parks and Wildlife
And don’t forget our beautiful natural parks and wildlife. Albany is the best base to explore the stunning scenes of the Great Southern AND the Southwest regions.
Our favourites spots include: Peaceful Bay and Rame Head/Soft Beach, Cheynes Beach, Bettys Bay, Cosy Corner, Boat Harbour, Nannarup Beach, Long Point, Banksia Camp, The Porongurup’s and Stirling Ranges. There is absolutely no shortage of amazing things to see.
If you’re looking for a hike or even relaxed walk amongst nature try: Ellen Cove Boardwalk, Mt Romance, Mt Clarence, Bald Head, Castle Rock, and especially Bluff Knoll in the Stirling Ranges – where you can see snow in the winter time!
The Gap and Natural Bridge in the Torndirrup National Park offers breathtaking views on a cliffside 40 metres above water with massive waves and swell. Nearby is The Blowholes which we absolutely recommend. Albany Wind Farm also is a stunning landscape to visit. And the Kalgan River Cruise is a great experience.
The Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk (near Peaceful Bay) is a must see. The massive Tingle Trees (that grow nowhere else in the world) tower over you as you walk through the canopy on elevated platforms. You might even see a Quokka! And while you’re there, head to the Marron Tale for a delicious lunch. Marron is a rare native freshwater crayfish, and this seafood delicacy is a must while you are in Albany.
Whale watching – from June to October, Humpback and Southern Right Whales shelter in the waters of King George Sound, using this spot for their first real rest since leaving antarctica before making their way to the warmer Kimberley waters. There are spots all over Albany to sight whales from, and it’s amazing to capture a view these giants in their natural environment. Check out the Australian Wildlife Park or the Denmark Alpaca Farm to see our other wildlife.
Wildflowers create a colourful display when they bloom between September and December. Known as a flora diversity hotspot you will see rare orchids, carnivorous plants, colourful ground covers and mountainous shrubs. Popular viewing spots include Point Possession Trail, Mutton Bird Beach, Two Peoples Bay, Porongurup Ranges and The Stirling Ranges.
History
History buffs will feel right at home too!
Fisherman’s Rest is a 10 minute drive from the National Anzac Centre with excellent multimedia installations to provide realism and depth to the exhibitions, and a beautiful cliff located restaurant with stunning ocean views. In fact, this piece of land was where the Anzac troops sailed off from!
The old Gaol, Brig Amity Wreck Replica, Desert Mounted Corps Memorial, and Mt Clarence memorial are all must sees also!
Plus, Albany’s Historic Whaling Station – Whaling is a huge part of Albany’s history, and the whaling station is the only experience of it’s kind in the world!
Eateries
The region surrounding Albany is famous for its culinary delicacies and wines!
We have mentioned Marron – an endemic freshwater crayfish that you won’t find anywhere else in the world. It’s a sweet tasting fresh flavour that is incomparable to anything you’ve had before. Head to the Marron Tale for a try!
The Handasyde Strawberry farm is a great family experience. Our other favourites include: the Great Southern Distilling Company, Oranje Tractor, Wilson Brewing Co., Boston Brewing Co., Garrison, Monty’s Leap, the Dam and so much more.
On top of this, the best wineries include: The Valley of the Giants Olives and Wines, West Cape Howe, Forrest Hill, Castelli Estate, Wignalls Winery, Limeburners Distillery, Black Pig Cider Company, Alkoomi Wines, Ducketts Mill… the list goes on!
We are ideal for families, large groups, or even multiple families. Guests enjoy our large roomy beach house including an enclosed outdoor patio, sunroom, and lounge/dining area.

Property is extremely well set up for a large group of people with plenty of space. The main thing that stood out for me though was the level of service from the Host. Sandy was so easy to deal with and provided an instant and perfect solution when we managed to lock our selves out of the property. 12 people in the house and not one single person picked the bloody key up off the bench 😂 Would defiantly recommend and will be re booking in the future.
