If you like the ocean, need good coffee at the beginning of your morning walk along the ocean, cleanliness and comfort - and a wonderful host- then is an excellent place to stay. The location is fantastic. Out of the city, but close enough to get there easily. Much more importantly, everything you could need - coffee, good Italian and quite remarkable food in a local supermarket - is all next door.
For an Indian Ocean stay and not ‘in the sticks’, the location is 10/10.
What really made my stay excellent was that Kristine is an excellent host. Nearby and sometimes engaged but not intrusive, responsive to both suggestions that might improve both my stay and that of others, and patient (when I hadn’t read the online guide) Kristine went out of her way to check that I had all I expected.
The beds are … cozy. Very cozy. As is the rug - actually there are a couple - in the living area.
The whole place is well presented, very clean…. Did I mention excellent?
I loved being able to stream to the large screen via airplay and the AppleTV. Also a possibility was using my Netflix, Stan or other streaming accounts with the AppleTV, but in the end streaming was so easy, I settled for that.
I didn’t try it, but the spa pool looks amazing. I loved the way it became a waterfall outside the door while doing its daily clean. Sitting in the spa watching a colorful sunrise - I imagine that would be lovely.
There are also very good washer and dryer appliances - which you’ll need if you spend too much time watching rainbows come in over the Indian Ocean without registering that rainbows mean rain, and now you’re soaked.
The only ‘realisrtic’ expectations I would try to set: you won’t be preparing elaborate meals here. With an air-fryer and toaster, it’s not geared up for cooking fancy meals. By you can eat fancy meals. Just let Tom’s chefs next door do the hard work.
Equally realistic: if you like Perth and want want a great place to wake up and start the days adventures, along with a host who is responsive to male this your experience, then I can highly recommend this place and this host.
