The River Cottage in Yunderup

This cosy classic cottage is set in the most idyllic location, right on the banks of the river. With its own slipway, enjoy swimming or kayaking followed by cricket on the lawn and an evening by the firepit. The cottage has 1 Queen, and a set of bunks (double and single) plus a single trundle bed, sleeping 6. The open plan living/kitchen/dining and veranda are delightful. This wonderful property is conducive to a relaxed holiday making plenty of special family memories.

This is what holidays should be made of: lazy days out on the river, playing with the kids on the lawn, relaxing on the veranda and an evening BBQ under the stars. The River Cottage offers it all and more.

This pretty home is rustic in style yet beautifully modernised and decorated. With a soaring timbered ceiling in the main living area, wooden floorboards and a gorgeous white timber kitchen, it exudes character. The kitchen is well-equipped, including a microwave, dishwasher and Nespresso coffee machine, and can seat 3 on stools at the island bench. The country style dining table seats 6, and the large comfy leather sofa invites the family to watch a movie at night on the smart TV with Apple TV provided (pay for your own movies). There is also a DVD player. If the weather gets cool, enjoy the warmth of the wood fire. Reverse air-conditioning ensures comfort in the summer and there are also ceiling fans.

Step out from the kitchen onto the spacious, cool veranda with its two comfy armchairs and another dining suite for 10. The level lawn meets the river frontage with its own slipway into the water. With only one neighbour, it’s private and tranquil. Listen to the trill of local birdlife and watch for twilight wildlife. Kayaks are provided for your use, and there is a cute cubby house for the children to play in, or try your hand at fishing or catching crabs. Enjoy the firepit in the cooler evenings.

The master bedroom has a Queen Bed and access to the veranda. The second bedroom is spacious, with a bunk (single above, double below), a trundle and a pull-out bed is also available. Plenty of storage is on offer in the built-in robe. The two bedrooms share a beautiful bathroom with a stained glass window and gorgeous original features. It has a shower, toilet and vanity. There is also a washing machine provided,

While the indoors is absolutely delightful and well-equipped for maximum comfort, you’ll be spending most of your time outside by the river, crabbing, fishing or kayaking, or cooking on the BBQ on the veranda. It’s truly idyllic!

Mandurah is a 20 minute drive away with large shopping outlets and an array of cafes and restaurants. The beaches along this stretch of coast are stunning and well worth a visit.

DOGS & PETS
We’re happy to welcome your pet, but this must be approved in advance. A separate non-refundable fee of $115 per pet applies and is payable through our guest portal. Pets are preferred to stay outside. If they are inside, they must be kept off all furniture and beds.

Please note there are outside perimeter security cameras at the property. These are in place for both your security and the property. The cameras must not be removed, covered, or adjusted at any time.

Once your booking is confirmed, you will be directed to our guest app. Prior to check-in, you will be required to complete an identity check by scanning your licence/passport and credit card before being provided with your arrival instructions. This provides security for the owners of the property so they are comfortable that you are who you say you are and you have the documents to prove it (similar to a hotel check-in procedure). We do not charge your card, nor does it get stored by our system, and you are welcome to block out some numbers, but please note that our Guest App has the highest level of PCI compliance available. This process is necessary due to the fact that we have a self-check-in system.
