A great house for a summer getaway!

This house was perfect for our weeklong summer getaway. Having the kids at one end of the house at night and us adults at the other was ideal. Our dog loved the room she had to wander around in the backyard and the aircon worked really well on the hot summer days, though the house was pretty cool without it. Will definitely come back!

House is in beautiful area near shops and dog friendly beach although house is in need of some tlc. Problem with WiFi that couldn't be solved was very frustrating for us as we are from overseas and needed to keep in contact with family. Outside furniture very dirty and areas very messy.

Lovely spacious family home away from home

We loved staying in this spacious house. It felt like we all had our own little zone with the master at the front of the house & bedrooms at the back of the house. We also had access to the granny flat so myself & my husband had a private area, my eldest daughter, husband & baby had an area, and our 3 teens had an area, it worked out just perfectly! Very well-equipped house, lovely gardens and outside area. Photos don't do this house justice. Added bonus, this house is only a short walk to the beach.

Short stay trip

We just wanted a short stay and this opportunity was great. We have a well behaved Labrador that joined us which was a bonus. Otherwise we would have had to seek out a minder.

Great Stay, perfect location

Photos don't do this place justice, very roomy and spacious. Whilst it is an older property, lots of room and close to all the action in dunsborough and just a 5 minute walk to the beach. Place can accommodate a lot more along with the granny flat. Owner instructions were easy and our family loved our stay.We will be back!

Spacious family orientated home

We have a fantastic holiday with our grown up children and grand children. Lots of room, big couches, lots of chairs. Everything you need supplied. Nice outdoor area again with lots of chairs, table room. Parking for a few cars. Proximity to beach a peaceful, small stroll away. We walked to town for breaky and shops. 1.5km oneway along coastal path. Host very helpful and responsive to messages. We absolutely enjoyed our stay, all family members were happy and we would definetly stay again. Thank you Lorraine for offering such a welcoming home.

Perfect house & location

Great house short walk to beach & dog beach. 15/20 min walk to town. Enclosed yard & great outdoor table & chairs under cool verandah. All beds comfortable, bathrooms clean and kitchen well supplied with all that you need. 3 bedrooms had ceiling fans which worked well & AC in lounge & main bedroom cooled house enough on the hottest of nights/days. Host was good to communicate with. Minor problem getting access to the key due to lock box being jammed - easily sorted out with host. Thanks for a fantastic stay.

Comfortable, spacious, clean and pet friendly house

We just had a wonderful short stay in this property with our family and two dogs. Fantastic location and a lovely property which was fully enclosed and safe for our dogs. It was so nice to be able to walk to the beach and then come home and sit and talk around the big table or on the comfortable couch. Thank you to Lorraine who was faultless with her communication with us and so lovely and accommodating to deal with.

Great Location

This house was spacious and clean overall, large dining table and plenty of comfy couch space for everyone, which was great at the end of a busy day with three teenagers. The beds were really comfy and the property is well-equipped. Location's great, neighbourhood is quiet and the beaches are close and beautiful. The property could, however, do with a bit of TLC (January 2022). The back garden is a small seating area and an unkempt driveway with weeds, abandoned stuff and what seems to be an unused granny flat - but is fully enclosed for dogs. Batteries need replacing in remotes and clocks; we had to share a remote for the bedroom fans, which wasn't ideal in January. The fridge and utensils were a bit grimy, the toilet drips and has no lid, lots of windows are without blinds so the house got hot, and the dishwasher didn't seem to clean the dishes. All minor things but added together made the stay slightly less pleasant than it otherwise could have been. Also a note for families with young children, the master bedroom is a long way from the other bedrooms, which may be a problem or a benefit depending on your point of view. It is a quiet and spacious property in a great location and makes for a mostly comfortable stay and a good base for relaxing in Dunsborough or exploring the region.
