Windy Harbour, situated within the scenic Shire of Manjimup, Western Australia, offers a unique and tranquil lifestyle, highly influenced by its natural surroundings. The housing market in Windy Harbour features a variety of modest, often older-style holiday cottages and beach shacks that reflect its origins as a holiday destination. Unlike more urban areas, property transactions here are typically less frequent, which means the market can be quite competitive for those seeking the rarity of ownership in this coastal enclave. Prices are generally reflective of the area's remote charm and limited commercial development, making it an appealing spot for those seeking a quiet, secluded retreat within a vibrant natural setting.
Living in Windy Harbour is characterized by its serene and laid-back atmosphere, with stunning views of the Southern Ocean and access to nearby D'Entrecasteaux National Park, offering a plethora of outdoor activities. The community is small and close-knit, comprised primarily of visitors and seasonal residents who cherish the area's unspoiled beauty and abundant wildlife. Essential services and amenities are limited, which often appeals to individuals and families desiring a simple lifestyle, focused on nature and community engagement. The region's isolation does require some travel for necessities, typically to the larger town of Manjimup, but many residents view this as a charming aspect of life in Windy Harbour, where tranquility and natural wonders far outweigh the conveniences of urban living.
