When I set out to plan a holiday in Margaret River with part of our family, I decided to look for an Airbnb that was within the town boundary, and was modern and spacious. We were also looking for a property that was secure, located within a quiet area and easily accessible to the bush along the Margaret River. We also had to take into account that we were a group of eight
Banyandah looked as though it would meet these requirements. Prior to signing on to stay in the house we looked up details about the property and were attracted by the number of positive reviews. Having stayed in the house for 6 nights, I rated our experience as coinciding with others who had stayed in the house previously. We well and truly appreciated the benefits of the design of the house and the trouble that Steve and Tina had gone to make our stay an enjoyable and memorable. The design of the house and outside are suited our life style. We liked its spaciousness, and its nooks and crannies, which were great using for playing hide and seek, and providing quiet places to relax in.
The beds were extremely comfortable, as were the chairs and couches in the central lounge area. My only disappointment was that, after chopping a pile of wood, it was deemed not cold enough to have a fire going during our stay!

Having children and grandchildren who are technically “savvy”, I was impressed with the robustness, reliability and high quality of the internet connection in the house, which was thoroughly tested during our stay.
The wonderful outside deck provided a sheltered area which had views of the bush land on the perimeter of the block, and the adjoining road and footpath. During early morning coffee breaks and afternoon wine and cheese sessions, lists were made of the birds which were seen and heard in the bush area and the names of dogs being walked by their owners. Games were played on the lawn which surrounded 80% of the perimeter of the house. Our hosts had thoughtfully provided a number of books, toys and games which could be used to entertain the children; one of the mothers in the group thought the range and amount of these was the best she had ever seen in a holiday stay.
The house was meticulously clean when we arrived, and during our stay we worked to keep it that way. We appreciated the fact that a large part of the house had a wooden floor. The provision of a shoe rack, thoughtfully located just inside the front door encouraged us to adopt a “no foot ware” rule within the house. Meals and snacks were eaten at the dining room table or on an outside table. We had no problems meeting our 10 am departure time.
I have no hesitation in recommending Banyandah as a place to stay.
