Grey Masts' maritime soul is born of its position in the heart of Robe, overlooking Guichen Bay. Look closer and you will find that she features pine floorboards (once the ballast of a shipwreck) and thick stone walls. This is living history in a historic seaside town.

A friendly welcome by host JJ Aitken sets the tone and begins a truly warm and genuine experience as you discover the many elements of this enchanting accommodation. You will be shown to one of two suites (each with a private lounge) or the charming Captain's Cottage. Whichever you chose, you will find contemporary style and modern facilities blended with the curios of the Aitken's well-travelled  ast (which includes, not surprisingly, a passion for sailing).

Once settled, wander through the superb gardens to Grey Masts' own bookshop cafe and order a latte to enjoy in the afternoon sun. The idea is to slow down and relax amid the charm of this delightful place. Robe is there to explore, but a soporific inclination to simply stay put and relax is bound to set in.
