Sandra and Graham were absolutely lovely. They were very welcoming, and went out of their way to make everything as convenient as possible - from including local menus and bus timetables in their welcome kit to offering the use of their bicycles to offering a ride if they were heading into town! We're fairly self-reliant, so we didn't see a lot of them, but they kept in touch over messaging, and were very prompt in responding to any questions we had. The apartment looked just as it does in the pictures. It was a bit chilly while we were there, but they had electric blankets and a space heater that pretty much saved our lives! The fold out couch was comfortable, and they provided a foam pad (can't think of the right word for it) to put under the sheets so you couldn't feel the cracks where it folds. The kitchen had dishware and appliances, the bathroom was stocked with shampoo and extra tp, and the living room had a nice selection of DVDs. The apartment is right next to a bus stop, about a two minute walk to the beach, and about a five or so minute walk to a grocery store (with a great little fish and chips place inside). There's also a bakery and a couple of restaurants right next door. The area was nice, safe, and quiet. We ended up renting a car (which I highly recommend), and using the apartment as a nice base as we explored the nearby areas of Perth City, Rottnest Island, and Fremantle, along with a couple of day trips to the Pinnacles and Lancelin Sand Dunes, Wave Rock, Gloucester Forest, and Margaret River (they were long trips, but worth it!). I like to see a lot on trips, so if I hadn't rented the car, I'm not sure that I would have found enough to do in the area (maybe 3-4 days worth. The former places are all accessible by public transit, but the latter would require booking private tours). If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway, though, this would probably be a great place!

Thanks, Sandra and Graham for being such kind, attentive hosts! Would definitely stay here again. :)
