Our room had cobwebs around the lamps. The fan, coffee table and dining table had a layer of dust. The toilet door had dirty marks on it. Behind the toilet door was dirt. The towels where like sandpaper When entering the bnb at night there was not sufficient lighting to see where to go It was was located in a great location to shops and the beach

Quiet and peaceful this individual property offers a comfortable stay in lovely surroundings. Close to the town centre, with many places to eat and beautiful Geographe Bay, we would stay again and recommend to others. Just be aware that breakfast is BYO, with a toaster and coffee machine in the communal lounge and a microwave, crockery and cutlery in the bedrooms.

Lovely atmosphere and not sterile like most hotels. There was a pod machine for coffee in the common area and filtered water available which was appreciated. The Bed was supper comfortable and the spa was amazing after walking all day. Room was massive with a decent couch and a small cafe table and chairs and a private balcony.

Everything good except check in was clunky. Arranged to arrive after hours and collected directions to room, except the room allocated was already occupied. Couldn’t contact host as his phone was turned off, so after waiting in lounge room for an hour, I ended up just finding a vacant room and crashing in there for the night. Great value property, just frustrating at check in!

We had passed this property a few times on previous stays in that area. This time we were lucky to find it available for our Sandman50 weekend. Our room although up some stairs was perfect as we wouldn't disturb other guests as we had a 2am start and the room was huge, everything worked, my wife loved the shower and I fully appreciated the spa after my race. Would love to stay again.

We had high hopes for our stay based other reviews, sadly we jokingly took to calling this accommodation 'dusty lanterns' aside from needing a deep clean our fridge did not work properly hence much food was spoilt before management suggested the fridge in guest lounge. Supplies were not replenished in guest areas, rubbish was slow to be removed etc if it wasn't for the location or the pool we'd have left early. Such as shame as it's looks like it was clearly once a much loved destination.

Not enough stars. On a scale of 1 to 5, it is 8 or 9. Spectacular suite full of beautiful antique furniture. Beautiful artwork everywhere (many painted by the owner who is a talented artist). Every imaginable facility.

Very pleasant stay.

Great location and we loved the quiet and the garden views. Very comfortable bed and quality furnishings. Spacious room and bathroom and access to the common areas- lounge and kitchenette. Very convenient for exploring the Margaret River region. Only thing that needs attending to is a good clean of the shower screen and runner at the bottom.
