The property was in a great location, with a wonderful view across Coles Bay. It was very near to a great cafe (Geographe) that we visited regularly, and convenience store that was very well stocked for a small outlet. It was also close to the nearby cruise jetty, and perfect for a relaxing stay.

The tap water was undrinkable. We had to buy water. No oven mitts so we used a teatowel. Check in and out times could be later. Shower floor dangerously slippery when wet.

Regarding the tap water, it is safe to drink; however, we provide guidance to boil water as a precaution, as some guests are more sensitive than others.

Relaxing

Nice property with good basic amenities. No WiFi - that was disappointing. Both bedrooms don't have any form of cooling. A fan of some sort would have been nice. Generally a good property.

Great Location and views

We found the place very clean and comfortable. The views were fabulous looking out over the Hazards and water and is very close to the jetty. Kitchen was well appointed with plenty of crockery and utensils. The bathroom was very clean and large with the laundry having every thing we could need. It was in very close proximity to the local cafe's, post office and general store, only a short 2-3 minute walk The only things that we could fault was that the main door was clear glass with no covering or frosting so it felt a little like a goldfish bowl in the evening and was right next to the bathroom so if you were doing a quick dash to the loo in the middle of the night make sure to cover up. Also just inside the door the floor was a bit uneven so had to be mindful not to trip. Nothing major and will not put us off coming back to stay here which we are planning to do in the new year. Overall very happy and would highly recommend.

Hi Catherine, We are so pleased to hear you had an amazing time while staying in this beautiful property recently. Thank you for taking the time to write a review, your feedback is important to us. We have suggested to the owners to put up a non see through film for the front door, which I believe they may be attending to this week. Also the flooring has been repaired. The owners have put a lot of time and love into this property to ensure guests have a wonderful time. It means a lot to us to help create wonderful memories for the guests that stay with us and visit this very special region. Providing comfort and enjoyment for are guests, is the reason we are in this industry, we have a very passionate team. We look forward to seeing you back again in the new year, having a wonderful time! Kind Regards Verina and The Freycinet Holiday Houses Team
