We had such a lovely stay at Helen and Stephen's place. The house was easy to find and to check into. It was a great size for our family of four and we found ourselves feeling right at home the minute we arrived. There is everything you would need for any length stay. The pool was great and the kids got alot of use out of it. There is a nice playground nearby which is just across the road from an IGA supermarket (open until 8pm), a bottle shop, and there's also a couple of cafe's/restaraunts there too (Chinese, Pizza and Pasta) and 'Spill the Beans' who do a delicious breakfast and lunch. All this is within a 15/20 minute flat stroll along Boardwalk Boulevard (which has a spectacular outlook and beautiful sunsets across the Indian Ocean in the evening) or a 2 minute drive. There is a shopping complex within a 5 minute drive from the house which has Coles, ALDI, Kmart, Bakers Delight, Lone Star, Reject Shop and many other stores. The closest township outside of Halls Head is Mandurah which is an easy 10 minute drive from the house. They had a market on the Sunday (possibly a permanent thing?) and it's a really nice place to go for a walk along the foreshore. There are many different things to do and see, there is also a great playground there for the kiddies. Thank you once again Stephen and Helen, we'll be back!
