Brian was an excellent host and the place was very comfortable, spacious and well equipped (eg. Full kitchen, laundry), with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We used it as our base to explore Augusta and the surrounding areas (eg the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse and the Jewell Caves), and of course the Margaret River wineries. We loved meeting Brian - he is a top bloke with excellent local knowledge! Highly recommended

Not sure what you are referrring to here in relation to where we stayedGenerally national parks are a no go for us as we have a dog.Host was fabulous!Residence was fantastic.River walk was refreshing each morning.Shops are just fine for a little place like this and beaches/waterfront pathways are fantastic.

It was very quiet. Very close to Augusta shops by car. Easy access to Bush walks at the bottom of the street around the lake. Having fans in every room was great too as well as access to wi-fi was a bonus.

Perfect for singles or active couples

Brian is a fantastic host with plenty of local knowledge. The property is located close to the town and the river, which was particularly important to me. The bed and pillows were exceptionally comfortable and from the first day,I felt at home. Well worth it for an active single person or a couple who wants to explore the area.

Nice quiet place. Unfortunately we ran out of gas on the last night so no cooking or hot water. We didn't have any contact details which wasn't great

Hi Nick . So sorry to hear about the gas issue. I arrived back from Perth and found that one bottle is full , and the other is three quoters full. so we must have had a hot water system glitch. For future reference , you can contact me through Stayz. Kind Regards Brian.

A lovely little weekend getaway

I stayed with my partner at Brian's for a three night stay in October. The property was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay and in a very convenient location, just a few minutes drive from the main street. We enjoyed the artwork on the walls and the welcome bottle of wine and chocolates. Brian was friendly and helpful but unobtrusive during our stay. Augusta is a lovely and very peaceful town to visit
