About this property

Holiday House - Forest in the Town

COVID-19 Risk Management
This premises is cleaned and sanitised by SeaSponge Cleaning using the environmental cleaning and disinfection principals for COVID-19. All employees have been certified in infection control cleaning and have scheduled extra cleaning during this global pandemic for your safety.

Nestled in a forest setting, Holiday House is only 800m from town and 300m from the Barret Weir on the beautiful Margaret River. An ideal location to savour the delights of the shops and eating houses in the town; direct access to bush tracks for walking and cycling, and the river for swimming and canoeing.

A ten minute drive gets to the beach at Prevelly, with its delightful Greek Orthodox chapel, donated in recognition of the role of the Monks of the Preveli Monastery in Crete during WWII. Visit the many wineries and other great local attractions, maybe using the guided tours available from the Tourist Centre.

Pets may be accepted at the owner's discretion.

Set Up

The house is upside-down! Thus the upstairs contains the main living/dining area, the kitchen, and the master bedroom and on-suite bathroom, with a toilet accessible from the living area. The views are of the tree tops.

Downstairs has two bedrooms, a double and a twin, a bathroom/utility room, and a second living area opening onto the generous balcony with outdoor setting and barbecue.

Overview

This spacious house was built a few years ago by the owners, and nestles comfortably in its bush setting. The house is bright and airy, free from the noise of city life. We wish our guests a happy and peaceful stay, hoping they will spread the word about us and this beautiful area.

Please note that the base price is for a maximum of 4 guests. Because of extra linen etc, extra guests attract a payment of $25 per person per night.

Great spot by the river

Thought the location was great. Enjoyed being amongst the trees upstairs. Good modern kitchen and bathrooms/showers. A bit cold downstairs. Both my wife and I found the main bed to be a little uncomfortable/lacking support.

Nice place to stay

The gum nuts falling on the roof and car added to the fact that we weren’t, in the city. Quiet was what we enjoyed. The facilities provided were more than adequate. The location was good and afforded the chance to travel in multiple directions from a home base. It was not far from the town centre as a walk of 15 minutes got you to the main street. Loved this place and the location. Make sure you listen to and observe the entrance details..

Disliked: Cleanliness
The location is absolutely beautiful — such a peaceful and scenic spot. However, the house could really benefit from a more thorough clean. We noticed quite a bit of dog hair on the couch and rugs, which meant we had to cover the couch before sitting down. The floors were also dirty, with sticky footprints likely left by previous guests.Unfortunately, we weren’t able to enjoy the outdoor patio area, as it hadn’t been swept or wiped down in a while, and the BBQ was too dirty for us to use. It was also a bit disappointing that the canoe/kayak listed in the amenities wasn’t available, especially as the river is so close — our kids had really been looking forward to it.The kitchen is fine for preparing simple meals or breakfasts, but might be a bit limited for guests planning to cook regularly over a longer stay.That said, the setting is truly special, and with a bit of extra attention to cleanliness and upkeep, we’d definitely love to come back!

Holiday House

This porperty had a homey comfortable feel about it. We were allowed to have our dog with us and there were small signs like having a dog bowl in the laundry cupboard that made us feel the dog was more than welcome.There were minor problems which we alerted the host to so they could fix them for the next tenants. The host aappeared appreciative to know what needed fixing.We would be more than happy to use this location again.

Time Out

Two dear friends, my husband and self were masively impressed with the location and the very comfortable, clean holiday house and the contents. There was all that one needed to enjoy a peaceful and relaxing time out from a busy life. Just one issue and that is the parking and pathways to the front door. The parking could be made more convienient and the paths less hazardous. Thank you for a very comfortable stay, and for the ease of booking whichimpressivelyeasy.und

Pet friendly paradise

A lovely place that feels like your in the middle of nowhere - the view of the forest from the bedrooms and living area is just magic. The house has everything you need, fire, lovely lounge, fantastic kitchen and most importantly for us it was pet friendly so we could bring our best mate with us. Bruce and Liz provided all the information we required for our stay and were ver responsive in the lead up. Highly recommend - we will be back. Thank you

About the host

Hosted by Bruce Murray

Host profile image
From the owner - Liz Williams:
Originally from Liverpool. I have lived in Australia since 1977.
I am now retired, but was a Hospital Social Worker, specialising in Aged Care.
In retirement I have leased the property to Kirkland Parton Pty Ltd, and Mr Bruce Murray is the manager. Although he is shown as a new member (2019), he has been assisting me with bookings on Stayz, and then HomeAway since April 2016.

Why they chose this property

Liz bought the Margaret River property as an empty lot in 2004, and built the house in 2007. She had it solely as a holiday home for some years before entering the short term rental market in 2015.
She liked the location of the property for its convenience and ambiance.
