Great holiday home. Very close to the beach. Although we went with teenagers it would be great for small kids but teens loved the beach nearby. Spotlessly clean and everything you need. We had a lovely relaxing time.

Peaceful and great location

A great house - owners have done a great job both inside and out. A great location to go for a swim, ride or coffee, and a house where you can spend a lazy afternoon guilt-free on a rainy day!! Plenty of room for mum, dad and 3 energetic boys. Would certainly recommend, and stay again.

Compact holiday house near old Dunsborough beaches

A compact holiday house great for small families with young children, best suited for short stays near the beach. Lovely peaceful garden surroundings and fabulous location near beach. Small sized kitchen, bedrooms and living spaces were probably a bit limiting for longer stays or bigger/older kids.

Amazing property for kids, great location. Kayak to entertain kids in the bay :)

Great place, very kid friendly, highly recommended. I do find having to arrange linen separately a bit strange but regardless great stay.

Great setup for small children

On the weekend we were down in Dunsborough the weather and Covid limited our outings. However this was not a problem as the house was so well setup for staying in and entertaining the little one. Super impressed, already organising our next stay here.

Great location

The property was lovely. Perhaps a little smaller than we had thought, but it was nice. We had an issue with the cooker while we were there but the company sorted it out, which was great. The location is amazing. Cannot fault it. Property could have done with a better clean but it was ok. Good for children- the garden is really secure.

Perfect family escape

We wanted a quiet getaway with our toddler, before the arrival of our next baby and we cant fault this property. The location, cleanliness, facilities, space etc. was perfect. We had the best 5 days and will definitely be back. 10/10 😊

5 night relaxing getaway

The house was just perfect for our family, lots of things for the kids to do and a safe enclosed garden for them to explore. The house is so close to the beach and the neighbourhood is very peaceful. The house is very well equipped for a family, even down to the toddler toilet seats! We had a wonderful stay.

Dunsborough house

The house was lovely to stay in. The photos online were fantastic however stepping into the house we found it a bit smaller than expected. Don’t get me wrong - it has been refurbished and renovated delightfully and we had a great stay. The kids LOVED the trampoline and the boat in the garden-amazing additions for the house. The proximity of the house to the beach was great too and we loved going for multiple walks along the promenade and beach. There were a few maintenance issues (admittedly we did not bring this up with the owners whilst we stayed) but hopefully they will be fixed to make the house even more comfortable. Great time of the year to visit too , with all the flowers out for spring !! Thanks very much.
