Cosy home in Busselton

We were delighted with this property! It was immaculately clean, cosy, homely, spacious, and well equipped. The large garden was an added bonus. The location was ideal for strolling to the foreshore and enjoying all that Busselton has to offer. We definitely recommend this property.

Leavers

I booked this house for my daughter and 5 of her friends for Leavers this year and they really enjoyed their stay. The house is beautifully set up, easy walking distance to the shops, beach/jetty and also the official Leavers bus stop! Leanne is a pleasure to deal with and checked in on the girls daily. I would highly recommend this property for any family or group looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay anytime in Busselton.

Better than we thought possible!

The house was a home away from home with lots of extras we didnโ€™t expect. 3 TVs, charging ports, and even a throw rug on the lounge to keep you warm, were all a nice surprise. The beds and lounges were all good, comfy and supportive. The house was large and really clean with a place for everything. Walking distance to town and close to everything the region has to offer. We are looking forward to booking again!

Cold in winter. We were a quiet, clean professional coupl who looked forward to a relaxing getaway. We were charged $30 per night extra for a toddler, and $30 per person extra for the two friends who joined us for a few nights while we were there, even though the property advertises as hosting up to six. Better value elsewhere without the hidden charges.

A home away from home

This was our second visit to this place and it was as perfect as we remembered. The location is excellent, walking distance to the beach, to the shops, doctors. The house is amazing, the garden is huge! The dogs had a ball. I ended up getting sick and so spent most of the time indoors, moving from one comfy couch to another, watching Netflix and looking out of the large glass windows or sitting in the garden. At night one can hear the waves from the ocean. It was just lovely. Highly recommended.
