Reception Information:

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.

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.
