About the Area

Explore Poole and Dorset from a Front Row Harbour View Retreat

Positioned in one of Poole’s most desirable settings, this beautifully appointed holiday home enjoys uninterrupted views across Poole Harbour from its private terrace. Located within the highly regarded Haven Rockley Park, it offers a calm, well placed base for discovering Dorset’s coastline, countryside and coastal towns, all while staying right on the water’s edge.

This is a location that rarely becomes available and is consistently chosen by guests who know exactly what they are looking for.

A Privileged Setting on Poole Harbour

Each day begins with open harbour views and direct access to the natural landscape of Hamm Common Nature Reserve, a peaceful stretch of heathland and shoreline ideal for quiet walks and wildlife spotting. Rockley Park also provides direct access to a sandy beach, perfect for gentle paddling, time on the water, or simply watching the boats move across the harbour. Kayaking, paddleboarding and sailing are all popular here, with hire and tuition close by.

Local Highlights and Things to Do

Rockley Park offers a range of on site facilities, including swimming pools, sports areas and family friendly activities. Beyond the park, the surrounding area offers a varied and rewarding mix of places to explore:
• Poole Harbour and Quay, ideal for boat trips to Brownsea Island, relaxed waterfront dining and harbour side walks
• Sandbanks Beach, known for its long stretch of sand and clear waters
• Arne Nature Reserve, a quieter spot for scenic walks and birdlife
• The Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage coastline offering dramatic scenery, coastal paths and fossil rich beaches
• Bournemouth and Studland, easily reached for a change of pace, with the chain ferry from Sandbanks providing access to Studland’s beaches and heathland

Easy to Reach, Easy to Enjoy

Regular bus services run from Rockley Park into Poole town centre, where you will find independent shops, restaurants and historic harbour side areas. Poole railway station offers direct services to London Waterloo and other major destinations, making travel straightforward without the need to drive every day.

Whether your plans lean towards slowing down, exploring the coast, or combining both, this harbour front holiday home offers a rare blend of location, comfort and outlook.

With demand for this position consistently high, securing your dates early is strongly advised. Opportunities to stay this close to Poole Harbour are few and far between.
