About Us

The Bluff Resort site has an extensive history dating back to 1836.

The area on which The Bluff Resort Apartments currently sits was originally a whaling station established in that year. A top the Bluff was a lookout and with the naked eye, whales could be spotted within 10km. The hunt then commenced using long boats and harpoons.

Thirty four years prior to the whaling station being established, Encounter Bay was named as a result of a peaceful and cordial encounter between Mathew Flinders and French explorer Nicolas Baudin. At the time France and England were at war.

Today the ‘Whalers’ site at the Bluff overlooking Encounter Bay is appreciated for its natural beauty and dedicated to relaxation.

The Bluff Resort Apartments

 

The apartments numbering 42 are owned and operated by the owners themselves. It’s a diverse group, with accountants, doctors, lawyers, financiers, small business owners, a psychologist, an interior designer and an artist. Their collective desire on becoming owners was lifestyle, incorporating investment. Providing the vision and business acumen for this stakeholder group is the Director’s Leadership Team.
