We stayed at the Abbey Beach Cottage for 3 nights while down for a wedding. It has everything we needed and was lovely. The couches are very comfy. Having the portacot and high chair was great as it saved us having to bring our own. The backyard is so green and great for kids to play in. The fridge and freezer are a great size and there was plenty of plates, bowls etc. We plan to stay again as it was such a nice place.

Well equipped, cosy, clean and all functional

Stayed 3 nights with 8 people including a 2 year old toddler. Well equipped property with loads of DVD and WII/PlayStation games and outdoor games set. Everything works great and we had a great family bonding time together. Price really good and even better than the Baptist Church chalet properties nearby. Owners did not require property bond and that works well for us. About 15 mins drive to Busselton jetty where we landed a 56 cm southern Australian salmon.

Wow, thats great that you caught a salmon. I am so glad you enjoyed the stay and thanks for the great review.

Fabulous location but not value for money

We enjoyed our stay because of the proximity to the beach and the property manager was super helpful, even sending a fan when one of the existing fans broke. However, given the price per night, the house is not good not value for money compared to the 10-12 other places i have stayed in the south west: sticky tape on the light switch, no front light, bug zapper outside didn't work and there were lots of insects, really old kitchen, fans that were completely useless (except 1), aircon only in the lounge (it was very hot in the house!), a fridge that froze everything even on medium setting and was super rickety, bathroom railing fell off, 3 rolls of toilet paper for 8 nights and so on. It wouldn't take much to spruce it up with some quality fittings and a new fridge - I think the existing ones were Kmart? The many pictures of the outside area on the site did indicate that the inside wasn't the selling point of the house. I know one can't control it but the rats running along the fence at night were a bit much too! But as I said, location, location, location. Great community oriented beach, tap out the front of the house so you can wash up...all made it a good trip. Thank you for asking for feedback.
Stayed 8 nights in Jan 2022
Response from VrboOwner on 25 Feb 2022
With so much feedback I feel the need to address each one. 1. You stayed during peak xmas summer holidays so the price is at the highest point. The other properties you stayed at would mostly not have been during this time hence lower prices as is ours. 2. Sticky tape over the switch was to stop guests from turning the sensor light off so that there is light for those arriving at night time. If this has stopped working (unlikely) thank you for bringing to our attention. We will investigate. 3. Thank you for advising that the bonus bug zapper thoughtfully provided has stopped working. 4. Fans that were completely useless - If we are not advised that they are no longer working then we assume that all is well. We did provide you with 2 fans immediately. And we do period checks throughout the year. They were all working at last check. 5. The kitchen is original but neat and functional. We havent had complaints from other guests about the kitchen. 6. The aircon cools the open space with no issues. There is no aircon to the bedrooms hence the pedestal fans provided. You stayed at the property during the recording breaking heatwave. 7. We have not had complaints about the fridge freezing everything, so unable to rectify something we don't know about. Not sure about what you mean by super rickety?? 8. Bathroom rail fell off during the night by itself. We re-affixed the raill that fell off during your stay. 9. You were notified prior to the stay that 3 rolls of toilet paper plus whatever is on the roll is provided with the balance being byo. This notification came with address, access details etc 10. I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually possums rather than rats. Possums are a protected species and live in the peppy trees surrounding our beachside property. I am glad you enjoyed the location despite all your issues.

Girls Getaway

I took my daughter and her friends for a getaway after finishing year 12 (they didn't want to attend leavers). The house was easy to find and a fantastic location in regards to beach and main roads. The girls were able to head out for the day and loved coming back and chillin at the beach or at the house. It was very well resourced, heaps of games and DVDs and we could even log into our netflix account. Thankyou to Tania for allowing us to stay at your 'home away from home'. I got to chill and hang out too. ๐Ÿ˜
