Great Convenient Spot
Great location, easily walkable to the beach, pub, cafes, shops, golf course etc. Back yard was a great spot to catch some breakfast sunshine. Do get a bit of road noise (and possums on the roof haha), something to keep in mind if you're a light sleeper. So much space to spread out and relax. Our furry friend loved it too!

Perfect property in a perfect location.
Stayed at this property for 2 nights during a recent trip to Dunsborough. It's a really short walk to the main strip in town and in a quiet area. The house was big enough for 5 of us adults and property was super clean! Would definitely stay here again and can't recommend highly enough. Thanks for having us guys!

Bluewater Cottage
We had a 3 day stay at the cottage. Very clean, tidy and comfortable beds and sitting areas. Beautiful outdoors area with 3 different type of sitting areas our dog enjoyed the soft grassed area to laze on. There were 6 adults and we all had plenty of space to relax, everyone was very happy with their stay at the cottage. We will return.

Good location, but....
The location was good,we were just about in the heart of town so everything was within walking distance but that's about the only good thing. We left 3 days early because the house was just terrible.There was mold in the ensuite bathroom, especially on the blinds,none of the doors closed properly-we propped one set of wardrobe doors shut with our portacot but the other set was just left semi shut,the front door scrapes on the floor and needs to be held with one hand while locking with the other,the security door wouldn't even lock for us.There is only enough parking for 1 car because as soon as you drive any further down the driveway, you can't get out. The dividing fences are waist high so there is NO privacy in the backyard.The "fully stocked kitchen" only had two small sauce pans, one fry pan and one wok (nothing had matching lids at all!),the temp markers on the oven have worn off so take an oven thermometer if you choose to stay there.The fridge is so old and dated that when you open the doors they drop and feel like they're gonna fall off,not to mention the fridge was set so low in temp that it froze most of our groceries.The plates and bowls are badly chipped and were not cleaned properly,we ended up cleaning two plates and just used them for the entire stay. I get that the house is advertised as dog friendly but the furniture is absolutely trashed.We also had someone running across the deck in the middle of the night.
