In 2003, The Deck has established a new attraction - The Southern Ocean Discovery Centre - which provides a fascinating insight into the natural wonders of the Southern Ocean and helps guide the tourist, traveller and holiday maker to the unique treasures of this stunning coastline.

You can view wild seals on Seal Island just off shore from the comfort of The Deck, or just take in the fabulous display and discover what makes this part of the coast so special.

Hopetoun is located between two bays and so offers a perfect vantage point, and a well serviced resting place which links the stunning coastline between Esperance and Albany, (directly south of Wave Rock in Hyden), popular for both it's natural beauty and as an ocean playground. Once you have visited the display, you can relax and refresh at The Deck, enjoy Italian gourmet ice cream, or a freshly brewed coffee, or go for some retail therapy. The picturesque town of Hopetoun is also a gateway to the world renowned Fitzgerald River National Park, but you will need a few extra days to explore that.

The building that houses The Deck was the town's original post office and telegraph station, it was built around the time the town was founded in 1901. Although extensively renovated, much of the original building can be viewed and enjoyed. The Deck has excellent ocean views and a magnificent garden setting, and is just half an hours drive south of Ravensthorpe, on a sealed bitumen road.

Bookings for accommodation at Stowaway Cottage in Hopetoun can also be booked at The Deck.

The Deck is open from September to May.
