Only a short drive from the pristine Bridgewater Bay, Discovery Bay and 20 minutes from Portland; the magnificently restored St. Peter's Church, which was built in 1883 and held its first service on 5 August 1884 has style, character, sophistication and charm and is certainly a destination of distinction.
The inside restoration of the Church is a revelation.
Remnants of the old Church still feature; the wooden staircase to the pulpit, white monastic walls, local hardwood polished floor boards and ceilings of Oregon beams and kauri, even some of the pews have been used. The free standing wood fire is positioned centrally in the main living area and emits a warm glow heating the inside of the church on those cold winter nights. The rural views are spectacular too; roaming hills, cattle, green grass and bushland. There is a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom.
The beautiful and unique surroundings of Cape Bridgewater offer a range of the county’s most amazing and breathtaking sights including the Bridgewater Blowholes, superb coastal walks, the Petrified Forest, Bridgewater Lakes, seasonal whale watching and perhaps most notably, a colony of seals which can be viewed year-round either by seal tours or wonderful walking tracks.
If you are looking for a relaxing and soothing retreat from your busy city life, then look no further. Cape Bridgewater is the place to visit and unwind.
