The location is excellent, great to be able to walk to dining and the beach. The couch upstairs needs replacing although not sure how they would get one up there. The spiral staircase is difficult but left luggage downstairs to make it easier. Loved the fire pit, if the property had new couches and a clothes dryer would add a star.

The property was clean but the accommodation is definitely not suitable for more than 8 people as there is only 1 bathroom and toilet downstairsThe access to the upstairs accommodation is via a steep spiral staircase and entirely unsuitable for older persons or anyone who is slightly incapacitated.Ok for pets and handy to the beach.

Very clean, great location. Short walk to shops and beach. Very warm, cosy, inviting home. Loved the games, especially foosball and giant Uno. Loved all the blankets and couches, were very comfortable. One piece of feedback, would have been nice to have some tissues or paper towels as there was none, also was not super great having to park out the front of the property. But overall very much enjoyed our stay.

Very nice house with ample beds for large family. Nice and close to town and the beach, so the teens could just walk there whilst the adults could relax.The home was well appointed and well equipped with plenty of cups plates etc. The reason it gets 4/5 stars is unfortunately the bed mattress throughout appeared very old and extremely uncomfortable. Overall still a very nice, relaxing place to stay and visit the south west.

Location was perfect for beach and town, 2min walk either way. The house was spacious and clean. Some repairs required, eg the front path, the lounge blinds, the window screen in the toilet. There is no clothes drier which would be helpful as it rained every day. Spiral staircase very tight and could prove a problem for some guests, not an issue for us. Would happily stay here again. Thank you!

Thank you for your kind review Jacqueline. We have ordered new window treatments for the entire house, which are going to be installed hopefully before Xmas 2025. As for the spiral stair case, I'm not sure who came up with this as a "good idea" back in the day te he he, I think it was a 1980's thing, never to be seen again, agreed they are not easy and need to be noted for those that are less able to get up and down stairs. Thanks again, hope to see you stay with us again, from Donna

Fantastic stay. Was easy to get any minor things sorted (Wifi needed to be reset and was done in minutes) and the place was beautiful. Plenty of room, great spaces for different activities. Walking distance to great cafes and shops. Awesome kids park 1 min walk away. Would definitely be coming again in summer one time!

About the host

Hosted by Donna McColl

Host profile image
Both Cam and I own our own business (a children's fitness program) that runs in across Australia, we appreciate the importance of a quality service and good communication.
Cam and our son are mad keen surfers, and love more than anything to head to the beautiful southwest to surf. I own a little quarter horse and love to horse ride and compete. Our daughter is a flyer in a cheerleading team and again we travel for her competitions and events, so as you can read, we are a really busy active family, which leaves us little time to spend in our quaint Dunsborough holiday home (unfortunately)
We do however make sure that this home is set up to make our guests stay as comfortable as possible, just the way we like to find it ourselves!

Why they chose this property

This is a lovely property in an AMAZING location!!!
No need to get in your car, the beautiful Dunsborough beach is only a few minutes walk away, the town centre is also just a few minutes away with boutique shopping, cafe's, restaurants and supermarkets. There is a park at the end of the street for children to play in and dogs to run around (we are a pet friendly home).
The Happy Feet Beach Retreat is an old style house with all the modern trimmings you need to make your stay a comfortable.
