Clean and lovely shack with all the modern fittings
We enjoyed our 7 nights stay the Crab Shack as it was spacious, clean (including the beddings, bathrooms and kitchen) and well equipped with all the modern requirements i.e. high speed internet, dish washer, fridge, oven, microwave, airfryer, washing machine, vacuum cleaner, kettle, toaster, and pots and pans. Very importantly for rained-in days, there was a 80" (am guessing size) smart tv.
They also provided towels, dishwashing detergent, handwash, clothes pegs, coffee & tea & sugar and cooking herbs & seasoning. We brought our toiletries.
The king bed in master br, queen bed and double bunk bed were comfortable for us (3 adults & 3 teens). They provided 1.5 rolls of toilet paper for each toilet so for our stay but getting additional rolls from near by IGA is not an issue.
Checking in (including late check-ins) and out were easy and well communicated. However, the house gas tank ran out on our final evening resulting in cold showers (on a cold winter evening) and couldn't cook dinner & breakfast. There were 2 big gas tank and we suspected it could have been a quick fix to divert the source of gas to be from the next tank. We called and left messages with the number provided but to no avail (no answer or response). The instructions given was to call the property manager, we did not mess with the gas system. That was the only dampener on us.
Overall, this a great option for Kalbarri stay that I would highly recommend. Added bonus, roos may visit the yard at night.
