About this property

Fresh Escape - Pet Friendly


Sorry we do not take school leavers.

We do not have Wifi.

This clean funky beach house is just 400m to the beautiful geographe bay and 1km to the town centre and tourist attractions of Busselton jetty and the underwater observatory.

This is an ideal home for 1 to 2 families with its closed in garden for the kids and pets while you kick back with a nice glass of local wine and b.b.q. on the great entertaining decked area.

Your 'Fresh Escape' includes a double spa bath for the romantic couple or chuck the kids in all in one go! Two toilets, hot/cold indoor and outdoor shower to wash off those sandy kids and surf boards 'Perfect'!

You will love all the mod cons to make your holiday a breeze including 2 TV's,
2 DVD players, board games/DVD'Ss, microwave, dish washer, washing machine, iron/ironing board, Nutri-bullet, coffee espresso machine and baby facilities to boot, (high chair, travel cot, always at property)..

For those keen fishermen there is plenty parking for the cars and boat, with the sailing club just at the bottom of the road.

Bookings made after 25th January 2025, linen/towels will now be provided for all guests, this is included in your cleaning fee.

In the lock up garage, you will find 1 toddler bike, 2 medium size bikes, 7 adult bikes (1 spare toddler seats for bikes, with helmets), three kayaks, surf/boogie boards, bucket and spades, beach chairs/umbrella just to make your holiday that little bit easier.

This is a great location, beach side of the Bussell Hwy. And if your keen to do a wine tour, 'Bush Tucker Wine Tours' will pick you up from the house and return you safe and sound, what more could you ask for!

Beachside beauty in Busselton

Fantastic wee house, so close to the beach and within easy reach of shops and the infamous jetty. Very clean and comfortable. The kids and the dogs loved the garden and shed full of toys. We had a lovely few nights stay and Justine was a really lovely host. Would highly reccomend.

Beautiful weekend away

The house was clean & had everything you could need while away! The home accommodated my family well and was such a nice time hanging out on the deck while having a BBQ. Justine gave us a complementary early check in and was easy to communicate with when needed. Thank you for having us, we will be back!

Perfect for a family get away, so child and pet friendly!

We stayed with our two kids and our dog, and we will be back! Justine was a really attentive host. The place was so secure for the kids and dog, the front yard is spacious and so relaxing. We spent most of our time sitting on the deck. We loved that the house felt like a comfortable beach home. We walked down the to beach and was nice to be able to have beach chairs etc available to use. The kids made good use of the bikes as well! Such a great spot. We loved our stay, thanks again!

Perfect spot!

Absolutely will stay again - place was perfect distance from the beach plus the centre of town. The house had such a relaxed vibe about it with its multiple French doors that could be opened to let the breeze blow through in the evenings. Secure yard which felt like a little private oasis and was safe for our two little dogs. And the host, Justine, is the most accommodating person with wonderful communication and understanding. Loved it and wish we were still there on holiday!

Fresh escape

Thank you for a wonderful stay at Fresh escape for our family and dog. The communication with Justine was above and beyond. We found the house well equipped and the enclosed yard was perfect for our kids and dog to explore and burn off energy. Was a great distance to the local dog beach, park and even the heart of Busselton. We would love to return another time.

Fresh escape holiday house

The best thing about this property is it's location,walking distance to beach and town.However, it was advertised as having 2 bathrooms, which it does not. It only has a second toilet. I would not have booked this property if I had known this , because with 4 adults and 4 children staying, , a proper second bathroom is preferred.The double bunk bed in the back bedroom was below standard, making a loud clanging sound with every movement .We paid extra for linen and towels but they were old and low quality and there were only 6 dining chairs, where 8 were needed.Otherwise the house was well equipped.

House was clean cozy and everything we wished for in a winter escape. Wide open deck in front of house to enjoy bbq and a kick of the footy on the front lawn. Bikes included which allowed our teen boys to venture to the famous Busso Jetty only 10 min bike ride away. Loved our stay.

Pleasant stay

The house was well equipped with everything we needed. Location was fine but we found the road noise quite loud as close to a busy road (can’t be helped). Gardens were immaculate and very secure and we enjoyed the walk to the beach with our pooches. Comfy beds. Main bedroom blinds don’t cover the windows so you wake with the sun. Nice big bath, which we enjoyed after months living on the road. We found the bedrooms cold at night due to time of year. Host allowed us to buy a heater for one of the rooms which helped as we had a baby with us. A cot with bedding was also kindly provided. Host was very accommodating and we are grateful for all the prompt communication. We didn’t use the bikes but I’m sure they would be put to very good use to families with children. Overall we were happy with our stay and Justine did everything to make our time there comfortable.

About the host

Hosted by Justine Fresher

Host profile image
Originally from the UK at the age of 19 (in 1987)!! I decided to come and work/travel round Australia and basically never looked back! It was soon after I was married at 21 and emigrated with my husband to Perth, W.A.
We had many wonderful holidays in the South West as a couple and later with our two boys. It was from there we decided to buy our 'little piece of heaven' in the South West which we named Fresh Escape!

Why they chose this property

This property was and still is 'Our Happy Place', this is where memories are made and family time is had. Electronics get put away, card games/board games are played with every generation around the table, bbq's, wine/beer/coffee drinking, cricket in the garden, cricket down the beach, family and friends gather, be it summer or winter! Bike riding, fishing, kayaking,walking the dog. I would love you to share your memories here too.

What makes this property unique

Our place is unique, it is clean, comfortable but not precious. You can walk in with wet/sandy/muddy feet (plus dog), who cares! Nothing that a broom and mop couldn't sort! Over the 15 or so years I have rented 'Fresh Escape' out, I love compliments of how at home people felt, loved the beach vibe and decor, I want you to feel that you really are on holiday, whether it be a long or short stay.
Our Unique benefits are that the house is fully enclosed from the road, children and pets can play safely in the garden. A huge deck area to enjoy family bbq's, outdoor hot/cold shower to wash those sandy feet off or 'just to shower outside'! Some like the short walk to the beach, bike paths to town, figs and mulberries off our trees. Why don't you come and see what all the fuss is about and explore the South West, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
