Fairbridge Village

Facilities snd location, we loved that we could use the fireplace. Beautiful location.

The house was perfect, had everything required, the fire was lovely with wood supplied. Very neat and tidy

What a magnificent place! Nestled in amongst tall gums and rolling hills, Fairbridge Village offered a retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, whilst still being only a short drive from the busy city of Mandurah. I stayed in a self contained unit in one of the historic buildings on site. It was large and well equipped, with a spacious bathroom and kitchen facilities. Sitting out on the verandah watching the sunset or walking the large grounds was relaxing and very peaceful. I loved the large swimming pool and multitude of walking tracks. There was also a cafe on site and large sporting ovals, catering for everyone. Taking part in PADU (Plein Air Down Under in Mandurah) I found it was the perfect place - still close enough to Mandurah to attend events but a little peaceful haven to retreat to in the evening. Seeing that there are also bigger houses to rent, I will definitely keep the place on top of my list for trips away with larger groups of friends or family. The perfect place, I would love to come back!

Clean and tidy

Neighbours very noisy up late until early hours of the morning - didn’t get to sleep until 3:30 am left feeling very tired . The room was also full of bugs .

The house and surroundings were quite lovely, and the items provided in the house were of good quality and plentiful in quantity. Beds are comfortable, and plenty of blankets and heaters were provided on request as we visited in the middle of the winter and it was extremely cold (especially on the first afternoon/night when we were unfortunately without power for a period of time). A very peaceful and delightful area to stay in and the surroundings give a fascinating history of the village and its past occupants. All the buildings are quite beautiful to wander around and examine, and along with beautiful peacocks and peahens, kangaroos and rabbits are in abundance in the local area. Finally, the most important point to make - after the problem we had with a power outage, which resulted in us being without power from our arrival through to around 10pm the first night, I was extremely impressed when management contacted me the next day to offer us a full refund of our first night's stay. It made what had been a somewhat stressful beginning to our break seem less difficult to bear.

The house we stayed in had a few minor issues which didn't detract from our stay, but are worth noting. Firstly, its in desperate need of exterior painting, and particularly the window frames were in quite poor condition. A lock on the bathroom door had lost it's knob, making it difficult to lock. Bathroom sink tap which leaked and the shower has the drainhole which was instantly blocked by the shower curtain, letting water drain onto the floor. All were reported to the management on check out, so hopefully will be fixed quickly.

Great place very comfortable

No upstairs bathroom

The wildlife was good to see....rabbits and kangaroos.
