Stunning sunsets, great location and perfect for families!
We had an incredible family holiday at this property! The sunsets were absolutely breathtaking, and the direct access to the beach made it so easy to take the kids down to the beach each morning. The house has everything you could need for a great stay. The host, James was lovely and went above and beyond to accommodate our booking requests, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. It’s a fantastic place for families looking for a peaceful, relaxing beach getaway. Highly recommend, and we can’t wait to come back!
We loved our stay at Oceana Sunset! The view and proximity to the beach were spectacular! My favorites were my morning coffee and often evening wine on the upper balcony watching the ocean and sunset! We ate all our meals at the large outdoor table, and really enjoyed the barbecue and fireplace. The kitchen had everything we needed and having two indoor lounge areas was really nice for our family! We loved this house and will definitely stay again!
Great property, beautiful beach at doorstep, heaps to do nearby. James was a great host when it came to booking and arranging arrival, checkout, and anything else required.
A seamless trip. Thanks James.
Ideal base for our family, and house/location is a holiday unto itself
We had a great stay at Oceana Sunset. We used to live in the neighbourhood and had returned for a wedding, so it was fantastic proximity for visiting our friends and “our” beach. In addition to this, the home itself has a pathway to the beach which was great fir the kids and us alike. We hope to book again next time we travel back to Warnbro. Thank you James and Thuy.
Couldn't have been happier with our stay in Warnbro. The house was an amazing landing spot for a family visit to the area - first time together since the pandemic. The kitchen had all we needed for prepping food on site, there were multiple heaters and blankets (which we needed for a few days!), and the location to the beach couldn't be beat. Easy trips to Rockingham Foreshore, the train station, and day trips to Perth and Mandurah. Home was very clean and everything working properly. Excellent communication throughout our stay with the owners.
We hope we stay at this property for our next family visit!
This property is amazing! Its in a beautiful location with ocean view and a short walk to the beach. The house is huge and fit our party of six with no problem. It is a very well kept place with lots of extras. The kitchen was stocked with all the dishes and everything else you would need to cook. The barbeque worked great and outside areas were perfect. The beds were extremely comfortable. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and will stay again next time we visit. James was very easy to communicate. I give this place 5 stars! A++++

Beautiful house
We loved almost everything about the house except for the cold. The kitchen was quite well-equipped and our kids loved the trampoline. The views were magnificent and close proximity to the beach was lovely. It was a pity that there was no heating in the house except for the living room. The bedrooms and dining room were so cold that we found our stay rather uncomfortable. Some portable heaters or electric blankets would have made our stay more comfortable and
enjoyable.
Please consider having the option of payment by credit card as the charges and exchange rate charged by overseas bank is rather high and I had to pay 25% more than the payment for the rental.

Thank you for choosing Oceana Sunset and for your feedback which we view as a gift for improvement. Unfortunately, you stayed during Perth’s coldest winter’s night in history. Based upon your feedback we purchased an additional 2 portable electric heaters, to complement the existing gas heater in the downstairs living room and the extra blankets (located in every bedroom’s wardrobe) that we already provide to our guests. Additionally, we are currently reviewing the possibility to use the Stayz online payment facility. For your reference the bank charges to return the bond were AUD 18. We appreciate your business and hope to be able to welcome you back to Oceana Sunset again in the future.
Beautiful holiday acommodation, special and quiet location, close to everything, spacious layout, large bedrooms, comfy beds, arrive with your groceries ... everything else is there.
Checkin instructions arrived in the email before check-in time and couldn't be easier.
The less than 5 minute walk via private access to the beach is brilliant.
I can't speak highly enough of James the owner for his responsiveness to our only issue. The hot water system had failed but instead of mucking around to try fix it he sourced a plumber that same morning and had the system replaced within hours so hot water was available by late afternoon. He also followed up early evening to ensure the new system was performing.
This property is absolutely brilliant for families with 5 bedrooms and all other amenities available including undercover barbeque area complete with wood burner fire place for cooler nights.
My only warning to prospective holiday makers is the property is of an age when disabled access was not a priority so although access for wheel chairs is possible the homes layout will be challenging for wheel chair manoeuvrability.
Ideally located beachside property with acres of space and beautiful gardens
We really enjoyed our 3 week's stay in Warnbro and the Oceana Sunset proved to be the ideal base to visit family, see more of WA and relax on the beach...
The Oceana Sunset is a vast property that is ideally located next to a beautiful beach in a quiet area.
Situated in beautiful gardens, the house has an extensive patio/deck area and an upstairs balcony so you can really enjoy the excellent views and outside space.
The house is well equipped and has ample space to easily accommodate large families/groups for extended periods.
House is quite spacious and comfortable (although lack of a/cond in a string of very hot days wasn’t great), and the location is excellent. Great views, sea breeze and beach access whilst retaining good privacy.
Lovely quiet and private location all as advertised. Decor different to our tastes but that’s beauty of holidays. Only negative is we needed to clean the windows so we could see the beautiful view.
We were limited to fully enjoy the property and surroundings due to the high winds and weather, but the home certainly allowed us to relax and enjoy our stay. Very well equipped kitchen to have a wonderful dining experience. All the comforts of home and more.
We had an amazing experience. Absolutely stunning home with gorgeous ocean views. We particularly liked the private beach access and spent loads of time in the ocean.
The beds and linen were to "die for" , so comfortable , with the ocean to look out to.
I would highly recommend this property. Everyone had a wonderful time and our host communicated very well with us.
We didn't want to leave....

Thank you Daniela for choosing Oceana Sunset and we are very glad that you and your guests all had an enjoyable stay.
Oceana Sunset has hosted many guests since 2010 and as part of our post-stay communication process we follow up with guests by communicating in our written correspondence that:
‘we hope the amenities of the house were sufficient for your needs, but we would appreciate any suggestions on how we could improve the ‘experience’ for repeat or future guests. Many guest improvements have come from guest feedback over the years, so any suggestion, even small ideas on what we could do to improve our guest experience would be greatly appreciated.’
After reviewing the comment in your review ‘that the house requires a lot of maintenance’ I followed up a couple of times requesting additional information on what you felt required maintenance but received no response, which was unfortunate as we view customer feedback as a gift for improvement and part of our commitment to providing our guests with the best possible stay experience.
We are committed to maintaining and improving Oceana Sunset and since 2011, have employed a handyman that provides 8 hours per month of general maintenance around the property and have employed a gardener for 8 hours per month to maintain the extensive gardens on the 2,375 meter block.
Each year we have a budget for maintaining and enhancing the property as an example in the first 6 months of 2021, we have replaced the oven and rangehood in the kitchen, replaced the motor of the automatic garage door, replaced the submersible pump for the reticulation & irrigation system and replaced 6 inside ceiling downlights.
In previous years, we have purchased and replaced all of the carpets, purchased and replaced all of the vertical blinds, purchased a replacement leather sofa, purchased a replacement fridge, purchased a replacement barbecue and improved the outdoor kitchen area, replaced the ceiling fans and had the inside of the house professionally painted. This is in addition to the numerous smaller things that need to be repaired or fixed on an annual basis due the challenges of the coastal environment combined with general wear and tear and or guest damage.
We are very proud of our 78 reviews and our ‘Wonderful’ guest rating and sorry to learn that you felt that maintenance was an issue. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future should you wish to enjoy the magic of the house, gardens and natural coastal vegetation, amazing coastal views and access to our world class beach.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, the house is as advertised, with easy access to the beach & stunning views. A lot of space for the kids to play too! The beach was stunning, and a 3 minute walk from the house.
It felt like we rocked up to a mansion! Lovely big house with plenty of space for everyone, not to mention the stunning views we cannot get enough of. Clean and tidy, communicative owner, we couldn't ask for more.
