A real Gem!

Lovely neat and well equipped family home. We were a family of Mum, Dad, Daughter, Son-in-law and 8 month old baby. The 3 bedrooms, one bathroom and one en-suite bathroom worked well. The native garden and lawn area was a very relaxing space for play or relaxing with a glass of wine at the end of the day. Old Dunsborough is beautiful area full of natural bushland and close to beautiful calm beaches suitable for babies and dogs. Dunsborough town is only a short drive away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this to others.
