Great size house for our family and located within an easy walk into town, even with senior family members.
The house was clean and welcoming. Would definitely recommend to others and rebook when back Down South. Communication with both the owners and Swells was very professional and prompt.
Hi - we are Dee, Nichole & Sarah - we make up Swell Stays, a holiday home company in the Margaret River Region. We all live with our families in Margaret River and manage houses in Margaret River, Prevelly and Gracetown. We love living in Margaret River and wake up everyday feeling like we are "Living the dream Down South". We love our region and enjoy getting involved in all that our community has to offer - you will often find us visiting the local Farmers Market on Saturday mornings, drinking coffee at one of our favourite local Cafés (Egberts or White Elephant), joining a Walk Talk Taste Tour of our town's best restaurants & bars, visiting one of our many cellar doors to purchase some local wine or spending a whole day at the beach with the kids! We want our guests to be able to relax and enjoy all our great region has to offer and at Swell Stays we understand the importance of cleanliness and customer service, which in turn creates the perfect holiday experience for our guests. We hope you love your chosen Holiday Home and love exploring our region as much as we do :)
