We wanted a place that was close to Perth but felt like we we in the country. Fran's place was ideal for this. It allowed friends from Perth to come down just for the day which was just what we wanted. It was 5 mins walk to the beach for walks and the fireplace was wonderful. At first you drive in and feel like it might be a typical place in the burbs but the design of the living floor being amongst the trees means you do feel like you are in a country house. The Old Coast Brewery is a wonderful spot only a few minutes away to unwind overlooking the olive trees there.
