Guest Reviews

• Mark (6/5): True reflection - Location, The house finishes and furniture is tired, the kitchen utensils need replacing, the cookware needs replacing, and the awful smell in The kitchen cupboards needs to be addressed. Very expensive for 2 people even though we booked the entire place, one qoukd think you are provided a discount for the minimal usage
• Peter (10/5): Fantastic beautiful home in an perfect setting. Quiet and peaceful. - Wow, what a beautiful place! Check-in was at 3 PM, which gave us ample time to explore some local wineries before our arrival. Finding the retreat was easy as we drove down the long, quiet bush driveway, leading us to a charming cottage that felt like it was straight out of a Hansel and Gretel fairy tale. Upon entering, we were welcomed by the warm glow of lamps, creating an inviting atmosphere. The house is wonderfully appointed with quirky decor, and large cushions and blankets are thoughtfully placed throughout. The main area of the property is fenced, making it perfect for our dog, who could sleep inside comfortably with a bed placed near the door or in our bedroom. With three bathrooms, this retreat is ideal for a holiday with friends. My husband, a writer, found the perfect nook for his creativity. There's also a private TV room for those who prefer a quieter space to watch television. The owners have truly thought of everything, including an amazing oven that any cooking enthusiast would appreciate. One delightful challenge was deciding where to sit, as plenty of seating options are inside and around the verandah. The property is peaceful and surrounded by nature, with the soothing sounds of frogs adding to the ambience. It’s impeccably clean and comfortable, with windows so clear that you feel one with the outdoors. I can definitely see myself returning to this idyllic location a few more times! Having to go home at the end of our stay.
• Melissa (9/5): Superb - This was a great home for us during our stay in Margaret River! Lots of character and very homely. It has a well equipped kitchen for those that enjoy cooking with sharpe knives, good pots and pans and even a Nespresso machine. The showers were lovely and hot with nice pressure, and there's a beautiful deck to enjoy the birds and nature. I'm missing enjoying my morning coffee out there now I'm back to the city! The location was excellent, only a short 5 minute drive into town and some great wineries to enjoy close to home. I will say the beds are due for an upgrade and not very comfortable, this was the overall consensus between each of the rooms.
• Helen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ryan (8/5): Very good - Great quiet location, lovely house. Dog's really enjoyed all the space in the yard.
• Maureen (10/5): A Margaret River house with plenty of Soul. - The down-south home of the past that I remember fondly. Quirky, well built, beautifully crafted, soulful. Just like it used to be in the 80's! Quiet and very very peaceful. Loads of room and terrific places to sit on the verandah. Its also pretty close to town, which was surprising as to how quiet it was. You could even hear the ocean somewhere off in the background. Dog was allowed which was great as a last minute plan! Thanks to the hosts for being so accommodating! Bedding was more than adequate and the bathrooms were spotless. Even saw kangaroos and joeys, which was lovely in the morning at brekkie. As a side note: I left something behind and they were kind enough to help me out to get it back to me. Which was above what I would expect these days. It seemed to be no trouble at all. Five stars just for that!! I hate nit picking but if I have to be pushed.... the Wood heater in family room could do with an upgrade. But in saying that, wood was supplied and that's a rarity these days. In fact a wood heater alone can be a rarity. So swings and roundabouts hey?
• Riches (10/5): Nice but I would not return there. - Property was very clean inside; bedding and towels were spotless; beds very comfortable; very well appointed: we could find anything we needed for cooking, etc; very nice settings. It was nice to arrive and find the lights turned on, however the house was freezing cold! I personally found disappointing that the chimney was set up differently (vs photos showing open fireplace). No heaters in the bathrooms; windows were smudgy; absolutely putrid smell in the inside bathroom downstairs. On previous occasions, we received local products upon arrival (bottle of wine, local jams, cheese...) which was a very nice touch from the owner.
• Amanda (9/5): Very comfortable stay in a unique property. - The house was charming and in a quiet bush location. The choice of beds that were made up. My 90 year old father had to sleep upstairs in the children’s bunk room because he was single. There was a more appropriate double room downstairs but no sheets on the bed. I booked for five adults.
• Menar (8/5): Very good - Nice location amongst nature With nature comes a few creepy crawlies
• Veronica (9/5): Superb -
• Pascal (7/5): Good - Great location near Margaret River and also the beaches.. Could have been a bit cleaner
• Browne (10/5): Exceptional - The location, space and fireplace everything was perfect
• Lauren (7/5): Lovely house - Large house with interesting features (2 rooms are upstairs) Well appointed - washing machine, dryer etc Great location Needs wifi Would be great with air con Needs a bit more for the kids to do outside
