If you're fussy about cleanliness, you'll breathe a sigh of relief upon entering Kookaburra Cottage. It's sparkling clean, immaculately finished and smells lovely as you walk inside. Host, Louise, is a friendly, vivacious local who welcomed us with fresh strawberries, passionfruit off her tree as well as chocolates. She gave us great tips for sightseeing.
The studio is attached to her home and has a rustic charm with beautiful timber beams and leadlight windows, The bathroom is new and spotless and you can soak in a claw foot bath. The bed is comfortable and the room smelled clean and fresh. There is a timber deck at the front where you can BBQ on a baby Weber and sit at an outdoor table setting. If you're planning to cook your own meals, you might find the washing up area a bit small as the sink is a small basin and not easy to wash up plates. Bringing paper plates would solve the problem. I would have liked a reading lamp in the lounge as the lighting wasn't bright enough for me at night but I'm sure if I'd asked, Louise would have lent us hers or somehow found a lamp for us! Kookaburra Cottage is a gem at this price - while it's not in Dunsborough, it's close, and the studio itself is spacious, stylish and so fresh. I loved it!
