Great location, big house great for several families. New and contemporary design, some beds were average and no fans in two rooms. Only real complaint is that they did not supply shampoo or conditioner and only super cheap tiny soaps and scratchy toilet paper. The amenities definitely did not match the house :(I have stayed at places way cheaper that provide nicer amenities).

Wonderful!

We loved Bay Cottage! Enough space for 6 adults plus grandchildren! Just enough space in the garden for cricket; a lovely spacious kids bedroom (not obvious from the photos), with a small playroom tagged on. No TV in the kid's room as suggested in the listing, but definitely not a bad thing! Great laundry facilities and outdoor shower to wash off the sand! Would definitely stay here again!!

Perfect home away from home for the family

Booked this property for a a 3 night getaway with family visiting from Sweden. We had 3 families with young children and a new born aswell as grandma staying and the home was nothing short of perfect. The home itself was so spacious and bright making it a very calm home to stay in. Was very surprised at how well equipped this home was with a washer,dryer,wifi, smart tv, bbq, fully stocked kitchen when it came to crockery & cutlery..... you had everything you need to prepare a full on Christmas dinner to be honest. The yard was beautiful and gave the kids loads of room to run and play and fantastic that it was fully fenced. Location was amazing with a short drive to popular places in Margaret River and Busselton and most importantly less than 5min walk to the most beautiful beach. All in all 100 % will book here again!!

Peaceful Getaway

Our family of five adults, two children and two dogs spent a wonderful week here, we really enjoyed the location just across from the beach and the peaceful outlook from the house. The place is spacious and welcoming and newly renovated, everything works, but the television does need upgrading to make the experience perfect. We loved staying at Bay Cottage, none of us wanted to leave, we highly recommend it for your next family or group get away.

Bay Cottage Weekend Retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed a 3-night escape to Bay Cottage in Dunsborough. We had a group of 4 and our dog. Morning and evening walks on the beach along with a swim were must do events. The accommodation was clean, provided plenty of natural light and had all the amenities you could expect. There was even a welcome bottle of red, which we did enjoy. The grounds are well maintained and fenced to stop your dog from escaping! A great weekend was had by all and we will be planning on staying at Bay Cottage again.

Can't get any better than booking with Exclusive Escapes. The house was absolutely fantastic, as clean as it can get and even better than advertised as renovations had been done since the last pictures had been taken. Booking process and communication with EE was top notch. Thanks!
