Gary's place is an add on to his house in a quiet residential neighbourhood- but just a block away is a major recreation complex - and by cutting acrosss the field - you are on your way to a 12 minute walk that gets you to restaurants and cafes at the southern end of time. Very convenient!
Also nearby are something close to a dozen wineries with many more a bit further on. Walking trails (go to Carters Road about a km in for the centre of many nearby trails) kayaking ( mouth of Margaret River which is really a pond over the tourism season when a sand bar closes it off from the sea - so very calm for canoe or kayak). Then there is wine - but if you are coming to Margaret River you probly know that!
Accommodations are just fine. Bedroom is big with a good size bathroom with shower. They are part of original house. The add on is a big open air kitchen with a big sit down table. Good size fridge and stove with microwave. No dishwasher but big sink suited for washups. Gary will run a wash for you - which then hang on a fold up rig stored in the bedroom closet. With all the sun and a good breeze they are dry in no time.
Suburban area has lots of wildlife - particularly very colour parrots enticed each morning to a feeder. And finally - just down the road and into an area of farm fields are kangaroos - happily enlisted into grass cropping for a local ranch and thus easy to find and see. Directions in the room - just hop to it!!
