About this property
Karri Lakeside
NO WIFI / INTERNET at the Property.
Karri Lakeside is a cottage, nestled in amongst the towering trees of the old timber milling town of Quinninup. Sitting on a quiet lakefront location away from passing traffic ensures total relaxation, with the large block enhancing the feeling of privacy, serenity and space.
It offers three bedrooms, including a comfortable queen and two singles in each of the other bedrooms. All beds have electric blankets, doonas & pillows. All linen and towels are provided, along with some old favourite board games and DVDs. Ideal for a family or a couple looking to get away from it all.. and by this we mean a Tech Detox as well!
We have intentionally left the house without Internet and even mobile phone reception is quite poor around the property to allow for a complete detach from everyday realities. As much as this might not suit everyone, several have found it incredibly refreshing.
There is a house phone for making calls which guests are invited to use, as well as mobile phone reception (limited to certain providers) up at the local tavern and free WiFi at the community centre. Conveniently located next to the children’s playground.
There is direct access to the lakeside walk track from the property, with other tracks through the forest nearby. A birdwatcher's paradise with native fauna regularly visiting and a profusion of wildflowers in Spring.
Settle in front of the cosy wood fire, wake up to the sun rising over the lake from the verandah view and enjoy visits from the local wildlife. Before heading out for a bush walk, enjoying the tranquil lake or exploring the greater areas’ many treasures. Simplicity at its best.

We had a wonderful stay surrounded by the forest with a beautiful view of the lake. The cabin was clean and well maintained, especially considering its secluded woodland setting. What we loved most was the peaceful atmosphere ,it was incredibly quiet, private, and relaxing.The fireplace made the cabin feel warm and cozy, especially in the evenings. We also really appreciated the lighting around the property, which beautifully illuminated the surrounding forest at night and created a unique, magical atmosphere. It was the perfect place to disconnect, unwind, and enjoy nature.

Hello, thank you very much for the review and taking the time to upload the photos. It’s certainly the experience we are aiming to achieve for guests trying to get away from it all and unwind amongst nature. It’s a beautiful place and great to see you enjoyed your stay.
Excellent place fantastic surroundings.Provided ample firewood!Would return if the home was clean and didn’t smell of stale cigarette smoke. Need to have a vacuum cleaner that works. Blankets, couches and rugs need a wash. Some towels smelt of massage oil.

Thank you for the feedback. It is always unfortunate to receive this after guests stay, instead of while they are there. As detailed in the pre stay information we are more than willing to assist guests with any issues they discover during their stay. No such attempt for help was received. Nonetheless, everything raised has been addressed, despite no issues previously being identified.
Notably, however, the smoke smell was investigated. This was related to smoke from the wood heater, where the door was left open whilst the fire was initially lit by guests. The smoke draw was partially obstructed and the wood heater fire box needed a clean, including the chimney flue.
Beautiful location. Comfortable cottage.Enjoyed every moment.

The fire place was not working properly. No toilet paper. Apart from that everything else was OK.
If you’re wanting a nice break from ur phone and online, this is the place to be. Hardly any reception at the accommodation, surrounded by the bush/forest and backed onto the Karri Lake. A beautiful spot. The accommodation itself had all we needed, no complaints. Location worked for us as we went to the Balingup Medieval Festival. It was an hour away which we knew previously. But the Quinninup town itself is tiny, so make sure you do some research. The owner, Sonny, did contact me the day before we checked in. Previous reviews had mentioned about a musty/smoky smell. Sonny stated they gave the fireplace a good clean, was spotless when we arrived, replaced the curtains and aired the place out. When we arrived, there was a slight musty smell, however it didn’t affect our stay or experience, we just aired the place out during the day (the weather was nice enough to do that). Overall a lovely stay and would recommend
Thanks so much for letting us share this little piece of paradise. Beautiful lake, birds, frogs, trees, quiet cosy house. A great place to get away, relax and replenish.
