This was a fantastic place to stay - we loved the quirky outdoor bathroom/toilet, plenty of space to chill out and the deck area with the birds all around was lovely. Thank you to our amazing host for the little added extras: a bottle of red wine left for us and beautiful flowers all throughout the house, these things were much appreciated. We would love to come back and stay here again.

Cool layout of sleeping arrangements, many facilities like most items you need in the kitchen, full laundry, large fridge, loungeroom, outdoor lounge, dining and three piece bathroom. Extra soaps, towels and firewood available. You pretty much only need to pack your clothes and personal items. Very impressed with how equipped the cottage is. A home away from home.

The location of the house was amazing. The house though, is cold. Sadly the pot-belly stove had a severe blockage that led to the house filling with smoke and leaving it unusable, so multiple layers of clothing were needed for an average sleep. At best. PLEASE SERVICE THE FIREPLACE….

We had such a great time at this quiet home in the beautiful Margaret River. It is set on a huge block with kangaroos everywhere which our girls loved. I loved the open fire, and the lovely bottle red left by the hosts. Thankyou so much Emily! If we find ourselves back in the Margaret we would love to stay at your place again!

Charming and cozy with oodles of character

We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage in Margaret River. Tucked away yet so close to the town centre, it was the perfect mix of convenience and retreat. The fireplace gave the home a cosy, welcoming feel, and we were blown away by the incredible library of books and a DVD collection that rivalled a video store – such a unique and nostalgic touch.One of our favourite features was the outdoor shower and bath area. Sheltered from the wind and with plenty of hot water, it was a relaxing and fun experience that the whole family enjoyed.The cottage itself was spotless, and the beds were super comfortable – we all slept so well. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into maintaining this lovely space. We’d happily stay again.

Amazing!

This beautiful little hideaway is everything I wanted and more, more spacious than in the photos, and so well equipped, there is a TV and DVD player (love it that my teenagers rummaged through the DVDs to find a film to watch, they thought it was half the fun! The fire was packed and ready to go when we got there, and the beds were so comfy. The bathroom was awesome! A hideaway and semi-outdoors. All facilities were available, a cooker, washing machine and dryer, all came with supplies, cooking was a breeze, and many essentials were already in the kitchen. My favourite was the main outside decking, two rocking chairs....very comfy!... with a coffee table, overlooking the nature-filled garden.This was such a lovely and well-needed break, thank you.

Excellent for the very reasonable price

We really enjoyed our stay in this peaceful but very convenient cottage. Emily was very helpful and welcoming. The main bed is very comfortable, and cotton sheets a real bonus! It is fixed to the wall, which is slightly less convenient. We were unsure about the open bathroom, but actually enjoyed using it. Winter might be a bit different.

Back to nature

A short drove from town but feels totally rural and close to nature. Kangaroos, birds and close to forest trails. Loved the outdoor shower and shelves of books, great coffee and plenty of staples. My son loved hanging out in the trees and exploring with the hosts young daughter - and loved the free dogs and apples we were kindly gifted. Comfy beds and plenty of space. We will be back!
