Huge range if historic artefacts with Skylab wreckage as a bonus. Worth the visit. Allow at least an hour for this stop.

Highly recommend. One of the best museums I have visited outside a state capital. Wide variety of subject matter, great collections, laid back presentation and great staff. Be careful of the winter closure. Allow 2+ hours.

Plenty to see. Skylab bits. Lots of old stuff that you'd remember if you're born 1950/60.

Fabulous collection of historical station,jetty and rail life.Fantastic matching our 4wd expedition.

If you are a space geek and you are in town. This is a must visit. They have the NASA Skylab pieces that re-entered in 1979.

What a great museum we throughly enjoyed the memorabilia and the history of the museum and Esperance township It’s fantastic to see so many volunteers working in the facility and taking so much pride on the standard of the displays available for the general public. The machinery section was a winner with the guys it was terrific trying to identify the equipment it bought back some many memories The old steam engine and carriages were in perfect condition and lovely to see The old ships were sensational including the small models scattered all around The Sky Lab display had us all talking for ages and discussing how lucky the area was not to suffer any injury from the falling debris Beautifully presented museum so clean and beautifully laid out Must be getting old as I could easily identify most of the can goods and kitchen products the memories just kept flowing back Must also comment on the opening of the time capsule what a surprise that was full of interesting history it was intriguing but a very disappointing decision not to build an abattoir in an area that really needed one Loved the wetlands behind the museum good idea and very pretty and well maintained Well done staff and those wonderful volunteers great job guys love the place

Fabulous array of exhibits .. and a great way to learn about Esperance history, including farming history, Skylab space junk, historic real train, farm Machinery, military history, historic homestead documentary film…and much more..well with a visit and only $10

Outstanding! What a beautiful spot of the world. The staff (both on the boat and on the island) were exceptionally helpful, polite, and professional. Highly recommend this company!

One of the most unique island locations off the WA coast. Has a lot to offer. Flora and Fauna all around. Great walks through Coastal Moort thickets and Sheaoks. Great snorkeling under the jetty with many different species present in crystal clear waters. Quite spectacular. You can rough it in your own tent or live it up in one of theirs. Just don't take your good shoes. Black dust everywhere.

Fabulous day trip to Woody Island. Well worth it - lots of info from Graham the guide and easy bush walk around the island. Good swimming & snorkelling from the pontoon. Cafe was good too. Would love to stay in the tents over there sometime.

This was a great day we enjoyed the boat trip and Indi gave us a talk on the island went on the tour with Indi she was fantastic and explained everything. A fantastic way to spend a day.

What a fantastic half day we had on the Woody Island Eco Tour The tour commenced at 9am so our skipper the very friendly Tim immediately headed out to some of the small surrounding islands near Woody Island where we saw some less than energetic seals basking in the sun lying on the rocks and occasionally lifting there heads up to acknowledge these annoying intruders. What a life these guys have sleeping swimming eating and sleeping again they are great but very lazy All types of birds were seen flying around the islands and over us just rounding up food. Then we pulled up at the jetty at Woody Island and up to the cafe for morning tea and instructions before the tour etc started Then the walking tour took place lead by the most energetic and passionate Indy We saw all types of flora and fauna and learnt so much about this beautiful island and its inhabitants and its surrounds. The tour was very interesting and informative well done Indy and Tim you guys a just great We then headed back to the cafe and had a well earned lunch and indulged in a long chat about the island the tour and the z islands history Well done to the staff for making our day a fun and very enjoyable one Would highly recommend this tour it was great and the staff were delightful

Woody Island was amazing and the crew from woody Island eco tours were great. Really enjoyed our trip out got to see the white bellied sea Eagles and seal lions lazing on the rocks. Woody Island should be a must do when travelling through Esperance.

Gorgeous Island, the guided walk was fun and informative, staff are so friendly. Definitely recommend the half day trip

This is a fantastic overlook of Esperance and the turquoise beaches stretching both up and down the coast. It’s very close to the center of town as well as the beginning of the awesome Great Ocean Road. Watch for it on the left as you are heading west from town. There is parking, a short path, and a few steps to take you to the breathtaking scenery.

"Beautiful viewpoint with stunning scenery and a wide panorama that lets you see so much of the surrounding area. Definitely worth the stop for the views alone! However, it’s not really suitable for people in wheelchairs as the access is limited. Still, a lovely spot to take in nature and enjoy the moment

Such a beautiful 360 view. Nice and quiet place to watch sunrise or sunset

If your in Esperance definitely go here, it gives you a perfect understanding of where you are. Breathtaking view, love it.

Beautiful views and only a short drive from Esperance. Great at sunset

Great view of the coastline and the little walk was very nice

The lookout itself isn't anything special; it's a bit too low to offer a good view of the surrounding area. However, the hiking trails are very beautiful and shouldn't be missed.

„Historic“ village is just arts and beauty shops no one needs.

Situated between The Esplanade and Dempster Street, the village is a delightful place to visit. While the exterior of the buildings are authentic and each being sign-posted and dated, the interiors have been modified to function as gift shops and a cafe. My personal favourite is ESP which stocks a gorgeous array of shoes, as well as bags and cards and gifts. The village is also host to a market fortnightly on a Sunday. Plenty of parking available both on and off road.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch @ the French Cafe. Walked around the museum village that has lovely interesting shops. Being a tourist the traders were all very friendly and all had unique items in their stores. Recommend a visit to this lovely place. Whilst speaking to the owner of ESP, she told us about the markets they have on Sunday morning. Definitely be going to them before we head off to Hopetoun another little gem on the south coast of WA.

Great shopping place with some unique souvenirs, gifts...

Great location for events

This was at the Museum Village Cafe on the Sunday market day. Service was fantastic. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Food came quite quickly after our order. It was very tasty. Would highly recommend.

Great markets. The best vegetarian spring rolls ever eaten. Amazing taste

Sunday night was very quite. It was week two of Sept. The place is a fine big bar and staff are quick to serve. Had pizza and chips. They were ok. Nothing to rate as excellent. Pizza special was 22aud and chips were 12aud. Had a beer 12aud. Overall, it was ok. Ive had better.

My girlfriend and I decided to have dinner at the Pier Hotel, staff were very friendly and welcoming, service was also reasonably quick too. I had the chicken Gamberi, the chicken was moist and very tasty and the prawns were delicious, as was the rest of the meal. We would definitely eat here again. They have a large selection of food including wood fired pizzas which also looked very nice. Also the bar has a good selection of tap beers and a friendly atmosphere.

Staff and service polite and helpful, service was quick and food was great! We got the Texas Share Meat Platter and was delicious, the pork was a little dry but still tasty. Dog friendly beer garden around the back and large inside space with a large variety on tap and behind the bar.

Popped in for dinner after a long day of travelling and because it was open late. The greeting we got was welcoming and the service, along with the food was sooo good, for a pub as such, the food was tasty … thanks guys

We ordered garlic prawns ,Pizza and Baileys Brûlée.All of them had excellent taste .restaurant was busy with high waiting time . I wish they had halal meat so were more options to order .

Great food and service, busy restaurant. Pork Scallopini and Chicken Alfredo pasta

We went to the Pier Hotel for dinner on a Monday night in November. The service was fast, and attentive. My dinner companion ordered the steak sandwich which he reported was “okay, but small”. I ordered the seafood risotto - this was not “okay”. The rice was undercooked, the squid was very overcooked, I found 3 x fish scales in the rice, and that was in the small portion of the dish that I ate. The creamy sauce was overwhelmed by lemon, which was an unpleasant taste and spoilt the flavour completely. The only nice comment I have is that the prawns were abundant and cooked perfectly.

Its been 3 years and I still think about this juice before I fall asleep every night. Has left a profound mark in the juice shaped hole in my soul. I wish to have my palate blessed by this beautiful creation once more if its the last thing I do.

Amazing service and very friendly! The smoothies and drinks are top tier! They do all flavours of healthy drinks of all types! I wouldn’t miss out on this amazing experience in Esperance! It definitely made our experience 100x better. Thanks again guys 🥤 ❤️ Kat & Warren

I’ve just arrived in Esperance that time since started a long trip from Melbourne, then I visited this shop in the beautiful park. I was really thinking which should I have because everything looks nice😂 Finally I ordered "very berry banana", absolutely love it. Also friendly two men work there, they are very kind and helpful. if I visit Esperance, definitely would come again🫶🏼

Came to Aus from England for a holiday, traveled to Esperance to visit family and found this amazing little spot for fresh smoothies and açai bowls for breakfast 10/10!

Highly recommended! Excellent service and food! A perfect place for rest and enjoy the amazing food and scenery! Definitely will visit again!

The bloke who owns and runs this juice bar is a bloody legend. Really nice guy, I customised the crap out of my order and he effortlessly serviced me to create my ideal juice, done my specific way. Nothing was to hard, annoying or big. The huice was fresh and delicious, we didn't eat this time around we only got a juice, but I will definitely get an acai bowl fron here the next time I'm in town.

Got an amazing juice after a long walk around the town! Great selection of food and beverages in a lovely location with plenty of seating available!

Family owned business. Ordered fish & chips and twilight margarita both were above average. The fish was crunchy and just yum. Pizza dough was perfect, thin also crunchy. However the tomato sauce was a bit overpowering for me! Probably it’s okay for other! Highly recommended if you’re in Esperance

Really cool staff, they all appeared happy to be there and that showed in the great service. They also make fresh bubble tea, which was delicious. It's an easy place to get to and plenty of parking. There were a lot of people waiting for orders, which says a lot about the popularity of the place. See you next time!

The pizza I had tonight did not have a very good cover of topping. Had the Out of the Blue Supreme. Saw the post that showed a very good looking Pizza. Looks like someone puts more topping on than the person that made mine. Pizza makers should all be on the same pages, don't skimp.

....What a disappointment. I've worked in hospo and I understand mistakes happen and things don't always work out in customer service, so I'm a very understanding person, but my experience here had me trembling with anger. I should've looked at the LATEST reviews instead of overall reviews (change in management maybe?). I was told my order would take 20-25mins but it ended up waiting an HOUR. I repeatedly checked in to see how my order was going and the front of house service was young and anxious and had no experience how to handle customers appropriately. Instead of keeping me informed saying "Hey, I'm sorry, the fish is taking longer than expected. Can you come back in an hour?" They just chose to ignore me and hope I would continue to sit patiently for over double the amount of time. Ridiculous. After waiting for AGES, the food wasn't even fresh or hot or any good. Wasted my time and money.

Had a very nice meal here. Pizza was great, crust, cheese and toppings worked well together. Meat ball pasta was delicious too. Fried chicken wings were not bad. I'd order the pizza and pasta again for sure. 2 cans of coke was $7.90 which was a bit pricey imo.

Enjoyed the food. Massive pasta for $21. Paid extra for chicken but not much through the pasta. The Supreme pizza had plenty of flavour but light on topping for $27. Overall would still go back again.

What a great little find. Not much open in town and was so happy to find this place. Various takeaways available and our was hot and served quickly.

Cloud Eleven does some very tasty breakfast and brunch options. My partner very much enjoyed her Miso Scrambled eggs and my Beetroot toast was also very nice. We would recommend Cloud Eleven. ** The cinnamon bun was good, but not very light and quite doughy

Great food and coffee. Japanese twist on everyday breakfast, very special, not something you’ll come across every day. The place is fantastic, feels homey, great for kids and the staff are all lovely. Thanks, we’ll come back again.

High quality breakfast in Esperance. Ordered the deluxe ‘cloud’ bacon and eggs on sourdough bread with a side of halloumi and the kimchi stack on shokupan bread. Char sui was relatively lean and dirty hojicha latte was very smooth. Service was friendly and efficient.

I went for one night stay in Esperance and wanted to try different eateries with my friend in town. Ordered lunch special Banh Mi Burger $23 + chips $4 and a beer, requested to cut burger into half as I want my friend to try as well. The lady taking my order asked if I need an extra plate coz I asked to cut my burger, I was like Wow !!! Very impressed with the service. After checked in to my hotel then I realised there is $1 charges for an extra plate. I honestly no idea they charge for that. I just want to laugh right now. Anyway, I believe kindness and generosity in service industry and I will never visit this kind of place ever again.

This is a bustling Japanese/Australian cafe, upstairs in an old office building. The coffee was tasty, as was the food, although the portions were a little on the small side. It’s a wait to be seated but order at the till kind of place.

Cute cafe upstairs in a complex. Good menu and our burgers were tasty. Food and drinks were.quick to be served. Will recommend.

Ordered the crispy pork belly with fried rice. The pork belly wasn’t crispy but soft and they were very large chunks. The iced black coffee came in a glass with three ice cubes floating in it and tasted very bitter, the pot of tea was very weak even though we asked if we could have a strong pot of tea. The service however was amazing very friendly and helpful.

Absolutely sensational! My parents were visiting from the UK, and it was Mums birthday, so we wanted to go somewhere special. Boy, did Bistro Louis deliver! The food was incredible, and the service was lovely. The place itself was wonderful, and we loved the classic feel.

Very friendly staff that makes you feel at home. Food was fantastic and delicious. Visited on the first night and found the food to be great and immediately made reservations for the following night. Bistro Louis didn’t disappoint and it was another great night!

Excellent food. Great service. Cosy atmosphere which is a covered deck on the side of the house. Easy to book online, which is recommended. We went on a Saturday evening and it was full. Had a great evening. My steak was perfect. Rare, as I'd requested. But it must have been given a few seconds on a white hot grille as there was a very thin, crisp top to it. Delicious. But...a warning. Due to the configuration of the bistro and odd local laws (?) regarding the requirement for toilets, there IS no toilet. You have to use a public toilet about 100m away in the park alongside. Not ideal...

We enjoyed a fantastic meal for our wedding anniversary dinner last week. Everything about the evening was first class. Louanna, ( I hope I have that right?) was delightful, Clementine was wonderfully professional, and Juan ( again, apologies if I’ve got that wrong!) was also superb! What a little treasure to be found here in Esperance.👍

Lovely little spot for dinner but is let down by substandard food and inconsistant service. Entree was a steak tartar; the meat had greyed and was not cured properly so had an offputting flavour. It came with only one piece of bread and was interlaced with chewy sinew. This was reported to staff, but we are unsure if it got reported to the kitchen. The duck and gnochi for mains were nice, as were the french martinis. Our dessert order got lost and we sat unattended for 30 minutes before deciding to leave, minus the dessert order. The prices are set at a premium level but the experience was not up the required standard.

Had lunch here with my family and wow, the food was incredible! Honestly, it was tough to pick because everything on the menu looked so good. Love finding a little French flair in a small town like Esperance. Definitely recommend! Only suggestion would be to add a couple of kid-friendly dishes, since some of the cheeses might be a bit strong for younger taste buds.

We will absolutely be back the next time we are in Esperance. The food was so fresh and the food combinations were perfect. The pancakes weren’t too sweet and were super fluffy. The staff are inviting and friendly, they are welcoming to dogs and the atmosphere was lovely.
