Beautiful property, excellent host, and so close to town but with such country vibes you would never know. Kangaroos hopping past the verandah in the evening and morning, lots of lovely birds in the bird bath to watch and a nice wood fire with shelves of books to curl up and read.

We had such a nice winter weekend with our dog, a storm and a fireplace. The perfect place to bunker down between showers. The kitchen was well stocked for some nice breakfasts with the best pan I've ever used for scrambled eggs. Close to town and nice to watch the kangaroos and neighbors horses. Looking forward to spending another weekend there in the future

Has everything we needed. Great fireplace. The property is right in the bush with birds all around. The outdoor bathroom might not be for everyone, but met our needs. Comfortable beds. Might book again and bring the kids next time.

Accommodation was great. Loved seeing the birds and kangaroos from the back deck everyday. We had two very hot days and was worried there being no air-conditioning but the place stayed so nice and cool. Outdoor bathroom was a highlight. Had everything we needed for a relaxing stay.

We had a great time down south. It was our first time going to Margaret River, I also took my mum and nice who came live overseas. We saw a kangaroo as soon as we arrived at the property. The place is rustic and we loved all about being surrounded by nature. The bathroom is very exotic and we also took our beloved dog. Thank you Emily, we had a great time.
