If you are looking for a peaceful place, a space where the wind whistles in the trees and the kookaburras sing their trill; and where in the heat of summer it is cool, and in the winter a stream runs just outside the boundary of the property, set in a tranquil garden surrounded by similar properties; and yet located only a short drive or walk into the town centre, then this is the place for you if you are visiting Margaret River, whether for the vineyards, the beaches or just some peace and quiet.
The bed is comfortable, the unit we stayed in had a private garden and was set up as a smart, modern take on a granny flat, with a kitchen, bathroom and main bedroom/lounge area. There was even a washing machine and the place was set up perfectly for a couple in every way, making it cosy and romantic to boot.
This felt private in a lovely way, we sat and watched the skyline from the garden as dusk fell and listened to the nightlife. I think I heard one mosquito and genuinely didn't encounter one all our stay. As it grew cooler, I went to see if there was a blanket, which I found next to two lovely, warm throws, which allowed us to sip our wine cosily outside until late.
The apartment felt cool inside thanks to the rammed earth walls, my first experience and a positive one. If too cool, there was an electric oil heater.
Silvia is a charming host, open, vibrant, positive and you will always see this earthy person and lover of nature with a smile on her face as she makes you feel at home without ever invading your space. We parted company as friends rather than host/guests and I suppose that says it all. Perfect base for our break.
