Wonderful Stay at the Red Car Shack!We loved our stay here—beautifully styled, spotless, and full of thoughtful touches. The location is peaceful and close to everything in Dunsborough. The hosts were warm and attentive, and the space felt instantly relaxing. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!
I love the red cat shack. I’ve stayed a few times over the years. It’s fantastic for my little dog who likes a holiday too. My grandchildren can come and stay with me or visit me and it’s easy to walk to playground and beach. It’s a character filled home ready for relaxing
We really enjoyed our stay at the Red Cat Shack. The house is in a great location, has a cosy family feel to it, and a great size backyard for kids/dogs. Would happily book again!
We really enjoyed staying at this property. It had everything that we needed during our stay. Our dog loved the yard too! The location was very convenient, close to town and to the beach.
The house was nice & cozy, the beach was just a few minutes away. The overall ambience was so peaceful & tranquil. We will definitely be considering staying here again.
Lovely place to stay. Perfect for my fur baby and my son. Had a lovely week with family who live locally. It was very hot so the air con was greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Relaxing spot for a quiet weekend down south with easy access to dog friendly beach, big beautiful backyard and everything you could possibly need at the house. Robyn and Wayne have made the space very homeley and were wonderful to with. We will definitely stay here again.
Lovely property well equipped and very well located. Clean and comfortable. Communication great. Happy to recommend. Just a note that you need to BYO towels. Although it was advised in the description, we all got caught out by this!
We had a great relaxing time. Central location close to the shops and just a 5 min walk to the beach. The house is equipped with everything needed. Thank you for having us.
Lost count of how many times we’ve stayed here now, but will be back again later in the year!

Hi Chris,
Just a quick note to say thank you again — I submitted the review from my phone and I think one of the stars may have dropped off! Just wanted to let you know it was absolutely meant to be 5 stars. You were a wonderful guest and I really appreciated having you stay!
The house had everything we needed and we felt at home right away. Our border collie loved the enclosed garden and being just a short walk from the beach. All in all, it was a great place to stay.
