Higgins Hideaway, a lovingly restored character cottage in the heart of Margaret River, offers a charming blend of art deco touches and modern comforts. From the moment you enter, you’re greeted by a light-filled living area with warm timber floors, comfortable leather sofas, and reverse cycle air conditioning to keep you comfortable in every season. Settle in for a movie night, curl up with a book, or enjoy a glass of wine after a day of adventure.
The open-plan kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with a large gas hob, dishwasher, and everything you need to cook up a feast. Enjoy meals around the indoor dining table or dine alfresco under the shade of the trees, listening to the gentle hum of nature.
Two queen bedrooms at the front of the house showcase original art deco details and are serviced by a sleek, newly renovated family bathroom with a deep soaking tub. The third bedroom, tucked toward the rear of the house, is perfect for a second couple or kids, with its own tranquil outlook.
Step outside into your private garden oasis—fully enclosed, lush, and leafy, with a large deck for entertaining and a Weber BBQ for laid-back summer evenings. This holiday home is a cyclist’s dream, with a lockable storage area for bikes, surfboards, and kayaks. Positioned right near the Hairy Marron bike shop, you can roll straight out onto world-class mountain bike trails directly from the property. After a day at the beach or on the bike trails, rinse off in the outdoor shower with both hot and cold water options.
There’s a washing machine and dryer, free parking both on-site and on the street, a powder room for your convenience, blackout blinds for lazy mornings, and a TV with a sound system for cosy evenings in.
Please note that dogs cannot be left unattended at the property, as required by the local council. During your stay, you and your group will have the entire garden to yourselves. Please make yourselves at home!
Higgins Hideaway offers the best of both worlds—centrally located, yet wonderfully private. Just one street back from Margaret River’s buzzing high street, you’ll find local cafés, wine bars, shops and eateries within a three-minute walk. Directly beside the home, forest trails and bike tracks lead you through stunning bushland and riverside paths, while the beautiful coastline and beaches are only a short drive away. Whether you’re here for wine, waves, or winding walks—everything is within easy reach.

Higgins Hideaway is a lovely house in an excellent location. The yard is fully fenced so our dog and kids were free to run around safely. It's only a short walk to the river, playground, museum, and cafe strip.The back deck is a super-relaxing place to sit under the shade of the trees. We enjoyed a couple of meals outside during our time there. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash was a nice surprise to find in both showers. And finding a coffee machine with a couple of pods kept the coffee lovers happy.We will definitely stay here again on any future trips to Margaret River.
First time down at Margaret River. The house is perfectly located for outdoor enthusiasts and those that like to walk the high-street of quaint little towns. The interior is beautifully maintained and stylishly appointed.
Great property in easy walking distance to everything Margaret River has to offer. Clean and comfortable property with a nice garden for our pooch to explore
Generously equipped kitchen and some pantry items were appreciated. The fenced yard meant our dog was happily accommodated as well. Great central location with room enough for 6 adults.
Really lovely property in the best location of Margaret River. A short walk to Bussell Hwy and all of its shops and restaurants and a short walk to the beautiful forrest and the Margaret River. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here - thank you :)
The main downside was they require you to provide all your own “consumables” (ie soaps, laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, paper products, etc.). We only learnt this when we asked, they didn’t include this in the listing. Property is listed as 2.5 bathrooms when it is actually 1 proper bathroom 1 combo laundry/bathroom 1 outdoor toilet. Otherwise, the location excellent and the house was very nice!

Overall we enjoyed our stay, a great location near good restaurants and walking distance to national park, great for dog walking. Property was a little run down but comfortable.
Price was high.
Hideaway was a super comfortable home away from home
Easy arrival with great communication throughout. Location was perfect just short walk to anywhere central Margaret River. We would stay again :) thank you
From arriving till the unfortunate last day and having to depart. This little homely cottage was just wonderful.I have no problem whatsoever recommending this to anyone with dogs and anyone that wants a wonderful convenient location close to town :)
The property is warm and inviting. Great space, nicely renovated, and well maintained. Thoroughly enjoyed having a cup of tea watching the kookaburras in the back yard. Walking distance to everything in the main street. Keen to come down again.
We stayed four nights and enjoyed the lovely light filled rooms. The house is decorated beautifully, the kitchen well equipped, bathrooms clean & outdoor areas lovely to relax in. An easy walk to the main street & all of the cafes, restaurants, bakeries & shops. We would highly recommend this property
Check in was fairly smooth, although the lockbox is a little stiff to open & unfortunately we didn't receive our complementary bottle of wine on arrival
We were in Margaret River for the C2C off road bike ride, the house had everything required to accommodate us along with a fenced area for the fur kids. Higgins Hideaway is walking distance to top along with bush walks. It was relaxing way to end the day thank you.
Higgins hideaway is a classy 1920's bungalow. High ceilings and beautiful boards. Stunning garden, beautifully blooming with seasonal flowers.A tranquil spot yet easy walking distance to Margs shops or walk in forest around the river. Thoroughly enjoyed our time.Loved the tiny book library and being able to bring our well behaved Jack Russell. Thank you for sharing your character home with us.
