Perfect house & location

Great house short walk to beach & dog beach. 15/20 min walk to town. Enclosed yard & great outdoor table & chairs under cool verandah. All beds comfortable, bathrooms clean and kitchen well supplied with all that you need. 3 bedrooms had ceiling fans which worked well & AC in lounge & main bedroom cooled house enough on the hottest of nights/days. Host was good to communicate with. Minor problem getting access to the key due to lock box being jammed - easily sorted out with host. Thanks for a fantastic stay.

Comfortable, spacious, clean and pet friendly house

We just had a wonderful short stay in this property with our family and two dogs. Fantastic location and a lovely property which was fully enclosed and safe for our dogs. It was so nice to be able to walk to the beach and then come home and sit and talk around the big table or on the comfortable couch. Thank you to Lorraine who was faultless with her communication with us and so lovely and accommodating to deal with.

Good location nearby shops

Overall pleased with the property. The fan didn’t work also the shower head was not very good in the second bathroom. Also fans in the ensuite and bedroom with the two single beds weren’t working . Otherwise it was all good.

Great Location

This house was spacious and clean overall, large dining table and plenty of comfy couch space for everyone, which was great at the end of a busy day with three teenagers. The beds were really comfy and the property is well-equipped. Location's great, neighbourhood is quiet and the beaches are close and beautiful. The property could, however, do with a bit of TLC (January 2022). The back garden is a small seating area and an unkempt driveway with weeds, abandoned stuff and what seems to be an unused granny flat - but is fully enclosed for dogs. Batteries need replacing in remotes and clocks; we had to share a remote for the bedroom fans, which wasn't ideal in January. The fridge and utensils were a bit grimy, the toilet drips and has no lid, lots of windows are without blinds so the house got hot, and the dishwasher didn't seem to clean the dishes. All minor things but added together made the stay slightly less pleasant than it otherwise could have been. Also a note for families with young children, the master bedroom is a long way from the other bedrooms, which may be a problem or a benefit depending on your point of view. It is a quiet and spacious property in a great location and makes for a mostly comfortable stay and a good base for relaxing in Dunsborough or exploring the region.

Great location and heaps of space

My husband and I had a very relaxing time, great location one street back from the beach our dog Danny loved his daily walks/swims. I would highly recommend this property for a family with a pet as there is plenty of space inside and out.
