Welcome to The Glass House, a blissfully peaceful beach stay in the historic village of South Greenough.

The clean and stylish suite offers ocean views from most rooms, a refreshing pool, al fresco kitchen & woodfired pizza oven, ample outside space & endless sunsets.

Perched on 400 acres of virgin bushland you'll find a mix of country & coastal living, exclusive walking trails to your private beach and easy access to local surf & kitesurf spots.

The space
We hope we've made The Glass House feel like a home away from home, a place where you can completely unwind, switch off from the hustle and bustle and feel connected with nature.

Wake up to the waves, watching a sunset, pool dip, taking a bushwalk to the beach, stargazing and recharging are all favourite pastimes.

This large property is split into two - the main house and the guesthouse - both are yours to explore and use with your booking.
The houses are adjacent to the courtyard/al-fresco kitchen dining area for your sole use during your stay. Both houses share, a patio area, pool, lawn, and a sunset spot with a bench. The property is child-friendly and has easy access to the guest house and downstairs area of the main house for people with disabilities.

The main house has three bedrooms with an upstairs study. The upstairs master with queen bed, second room with three single beds and a study share the upstairs bathroom. The downstairs master with queen bed has an ensuite and walk-in robe.

The spacey guesthouse comprises of two bedrooms with king sized beds, a bathroom with bath & shower, separate toilet, and living area.

Feel free to explore the land - these 400 acres have a range of wildlife with roos, rabbits, monitor lizards, the occasional fox and if you’re lucky, an echidna. There’s also an annual ghost crab migration up the sand dunes each April, and humpback whales can be spotted from the house as they head north in winter. We have put a telescope in one of the guest house bedrooms so you don’t miss that.

There are two private walking trails to the beach, which take about 15 minutes one way or can be combined to make a longer loop (approx. 40 mins). We often see cray fishing boats stopping by as the reef here is a great spot to drop a pot. If you want to drive down there’s a track just next to the gate, but the sand gets deeper towards the end so it's only for 4x4 vehicles with tyres suitable for driving in deep sand.

Fun Fact: The Glass House isn't actually made from glass! We named it after the cray fisherman who built this house 30 years ago. Now we’re opening up our secluded coastal home for you to enjoy.

Guest access
The gravel drive to the house is approximately 3km long and pretty tidy, so you don't need a 4x4 to reach us. An SUV or higher is preferred, but a 2WD will do fine. In front of the guesthouse is a designated parking area.

Neighbourhood highlights

Our coastal stay is perched on top of the sand dunes in the historic village of South Greenough. The Greenough Flats are well known for its iconic leaning trees, old stone buildings and endless wheat fields. You'll know you're nearly here when the trees start looking like they're doing the limbo.

The village is home to many mid-nineteenth-century buildings, including a few golden oldies on our road. Some claim that the area holds one of Australia's best-preserved nineteenth-century towns. Its history can be explored at the Central Greenough Historic Settlement, Greenough Museum & Gardens, or by driving along the Greenough/Walkaway Heritage Trail.

As well as a few walking trails about, there's a small local Wildlife Park on our road which is good for kids, or a 5-minute drive away is a surf beach Flat Rocks which holds annual competitions.

Food-wise, check out our local country cafe in Greenough for brekkie and lunch (they also do takeaways). Or drive just 30 minutes to the pretty port city of Geraldton which has many great cafes (try Quiet Life Cafe, Salt Dish, Dome, Two Foreshores and Tarts and Co. just to name a few), with many good dinner options and pubs too (highly recommend The Provincial, Skeeters in the marina, Old Man's rooftop bar, Freemasons, 30 Knots Gin & Rum Distillery and Batavia Brewing a microbrewery). You can also stock up on fresh fish and seafood to cook at The Glass House by heading to the port for a daily catch.

Gero has a fabulous museum at the marina, where you learn about one of Australia's most notorious shipwrecks 'The Batavia'. The history of the mutineers and the violent spree that followed is part of Geraldton's history. There is also the old Gaol (which was in operation into the 1980s), Sunday markets, and the Sydney Memorial (great by day or night).

Gero is also a gateway to the gorgeous Abrolhos Islands, which has been likened to the Galapagos for its marine diversity. You can reach them in just 90 minutes on a high-speed catamaran with Abrolhos Adventures or fly with Shine Aviation to spend the day snorkelling and enjoying island time.

Cray fishing is a major industry here and there are plenty of operators who'll take you out into the Indian Ocean to catch a Western Rock Lobster.

The charming seaside town of Dongara is just half an hour south, with some nice places to dine, great beaches and an award-winning distillery called Illegal Tender Rum Co.
