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.

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.
