There’s nothing quite like an island holiday when you have four different perspectives to enjoy it from. At Orchid Blue, every corner of the house is set up to make sure you never miss a moment of the magic.
Choose your perfect vantage point with 4 massive decks. Three of them face the ocean side of the property, though the views change as you move down: the top deck alone has fully uninterrupted 180° ocean views, the next deck down still looks out over the ocean but not with quite the same clear line of sight, and the lowest of the three faces native bushland instead. A fourth deck at the front of the house rounds things out, so there’s always a spot to suit the moment, whether you’re chasing the morning sun, seeking the afternoon shade, or after a quiet corner to yourself.
The top-level deck, our “Eagles Nest,” is the pick of them all: 180° panoramas stretching from Waddy Point to Sandy Cape. It’s the perfect spot for a sunrise coffee or a spot of midnight stargazing.
And if you’re visiting during whale season, keep the binoculars handy — you’ll have a front-row seat as whales breach and calves frolic, all within a few steps of the coffee machine.
It’s easy to see why guests keep calling Orchid Blue one of the best ocean view rentals on Orchid Beach — see what else is close by to the house in our attractions guide.
