The cottage is a wonderful place to base yourself. A convenient and enjoyable walk through the trees into town (approx 5.5km there and back along part of the Wadandi Trail tracking the old railway line) or a 3 minute drive (and 10mins to the nearest beaches - with Cape Naturaliste / Bunkers Bay Beach being about a 50min drive). The recommendations provided by Lucy were great. Glenarty Farm was a real highlight which we enjoyed as part of a day trip south of Margaret River ending with sunset river-estuary foreshore fish and chips at Colourpatch in Augusta (with some bonus dolphin spotting). It was hot enough to swim during the day and cool enough to enjoy a fire in the garden at the cottage in the evening (which Lucy had kindly prepared for our arrival and freely handed over more wood on request). The cottage was peaceful and stylish, and it didn't feel like we'd compromised on the "countryside" by being so close/conveniently located to/for town. A winner for couples, single travellers or a small/young family.
