Great stay

My wife and I spent the weekend at the railway cottage. Kerry and Peter have done an excellent job at preserving this piece of Bunbury history. It’s a very cosy yet spacious cottage and definitely worth visiting at least once. We will certainly be back

About the host

Hosted by Kerry & Peter

My husband Peter, and I, are mad (some may say insane) renovators. We originally began our renovating frenzy in our early twenties in rural Western Australia, and after carrying this dream throughout Australia, we found ourselves in Bunbury in 2008. Our first project was a derelict heritage railway cottage in Ednie Street, our current home. It may have been difficult to see the potential in this neglected house, but after pulling it almost completely apart and putting it back together, piece by piece, it became our beautiful home. We have since carried out the same process on our beautiful Bluebird Cottage, and have just completed the same works on our Railway Cottage. Our passion for restoring these beautiful heritage properties to their former state of grandeur, continues to grow, and will likely never change. When we aren't buried under mountains of rubble or cavorting in amongst roof cavities, we enjoy taking the delightful short stroll into the Bunbury centre for dinner, a coffee, or a glass of red wine. Bunbury has a plethora of food options and we enjoy eating out regularly.

Why they chose this property

Take a step back in time to this unique heritage precinct in a quiet corner of Bunbury. Close to the city centre, this area is crammed with a variety of heritage homes, which have been restored, in keeping with their original facades. Embrace the nostalgia of times gone by as you drive or wander through the peaceful streets.
