Rhonda’s cottage by Margaret River is set in a wonderful location. It has a certain charm which appeals however has some aspects showing tiredness and need for a few basic repairs: eg the lock on the rear door is broken, fireplace door difficult to secure closed and renovation of shower and laundry/bathroom would help give it a five star rating. A range hood over the stove and exhaust fan in the shower would help remove cooking odours and steam. Installing a simple vanity unit or wash basin rather than using the metal laundry trough for face and hand washing would be desirable.
The main bedroom is spacious and comfortable, however the second bedroom is tiny and has a very soft mattress, which made it difficult for our companions to sleep. Provision of sufficient basic essential supplies was disappointing in some areas but good in others, especially considering four guests staying over two days. Our request for top up of some of these essentials was met however with a condescending remark that was a bit of a turn off.
Nevertheless it was a great experience to stay at this beautiful location and I hope Rhonda and her partner see the benefit in addressing these concerns for future guests.
