The property is built on a 5 acre site leading to the beaches of Gurteen bay famous for their turqouise tides & golden sands. This tranquil setting is only two kilometers away from Roundstone village.

Whale Harbour Cottage is comprised of a stunning and fully equipped kitchen with centre island, a generous sitting-room with an owner designed fireplace ideal for relaxing, a reading room with unparalleled views over Whale Harbour to Gurteen Bay and three en-suite bedrooms.

The outdoor area feature a large raised deck and patio perfect for al fresco dining and picnics.

Whale Harbour Cottage is located at the foot of Errisbeg mountain where the garden slopes to the shores of Gurteen Bay and the quaint old fishing harbour from which the property derives its name. The property has been in the same family for two generations and was rebuilt in 2013 by the current owners. The entire house was built from stone which was sourced from the site on which the house and gardens stand. The owners have a history of over 50 years visiting the area and their love for the locality is demonstrated in the presention of this exquisite holiday home.

Beautiful Property in a Gorgeous Location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Whale Harbour Cottage. Jon & Brenda generously stocked the property with food and drink so we were comfortable on arrival and well cared for during our stay. The home is located in the spectacular Connemara region of Ireland and we took advantage of the great day trips that were within a short drive from Roundstone. It was so refreshing to come back to the Cottage and enjoy a quick dip in the ocean or walk along the beaches within a short hike from the house. Thanks Jon & Brenda for sharing this lovely, peaceful home with us. It provided a perfect location for a special anniversary trip for us and we hope some day to return!”

Magical would be an Understatement!

You could never imagine what this incredible ocean front home has in store for you. It;s location is as quaint and tranquil as you can get but what lies nearby will intrigue the most seasoned of explorers. All the while you will cherish every moment as you return back to this gorgeous peaceful retreat. Set aside time to spend exploring Roundstone and the tide pools on your walk over there not to mention one of the most beautiful beaches anywhere in the world.. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner upon arrival and you wont experience generosity and a warmer welcome like this many other places around the world. We feel absolutely blessed to have shared this family Home. This is such a magical and fantastic location.”

Perfect Getaway for a quiet and relaxing visit to Connemara area in Ireland

Jon greeted us upon arrival and oriented us very well to the perfect home away from home in beautiful Connemara Ireland. The O'Sullivan's stocked the refrigerator with exactly what we needed to start our week stay at their very quiet and relaxing place. They truly allowed us to feel at home allowing us to use all their appliances, pantry items, wine/beer and access their fantastic property. Their website and pictures are exactly what you will find. The upkeep of the property and grounds are immaculate. If ever we return to the West Coast of Ireland, we would for sure make Roundstone, Whale Harbour Cottage our home. We comfortably fit ourselves, our 13 and 11 year old children and my 76 year old in-laws. Very grateful for their hospitality. ”
