Special, private, comfortable and well located if you love the beach. This stay was a delight.
Our accommodation was part of a lovely home that fronts the beach, however our room was on the side that faced the street. We had our own entry door into a hallway which led into a spacious bedroom and a large well appointed en suite bathroom. The bed was very comfortable and all the linen was new and clean. Television and streaming services worked beautifully. Wifi was simple and fast.
The entry hall contained everything required for a cuppa and light breakfast. Our hosts provided cereal, milk and fresh fruit.
Our accommodation could be accessed privately and enjoyed without fear of being disturbed by the hosts, or of us disturbing them.
Cooling and heating was available but wasn't required due to good building design and it was a pleasure to leave the sliding door open at night in the moderate seaside climate knowing that an effective and secure screen would keep any bugs out while allowing a cool breeze in.
The climate at the accomodation was markedly more pleasant than in the city, making it a real pleasure to head home and relax
The accommodation is a stone's throw from a beautiful wide beach that we often had to ourselves. The seawater was clean and unspoilt. After a swim we'd stroll down to one of the local beachfront cafes and enjoy a lazy breakfast and coffee watching the body-surfers.
The 81 bus stop terminus is directly outside the cafe, so we'd step straight onto the bus for a day in the city.
Perth has got it's public transport act together with regular, reliable services and friendly staff. The 82 bus can be caught from the Perth central bus depot directly to the front door with a journey time of only 30 minutes. The full adult fare of $4.40 made Uber fares unneccesary.
If you are flying into Perth, you can catch the bus directly from the airport to a city transport hub, step onto a free connector (look for one of the fantastic free city 'cats') to the central bus depot then onto the 82 to be dropped at the door, or 81 to be dropped a couple of hundred metres from the accommodation. It is all very simple and painless and everyone will assist you. All for $4.40.
Our hosts gave us plenty of privacy but were quick to provide a clothes rack when they saw that we were drying items on the outdoor furniture. Again, when our hosts discovered a jumper that had been left behind after our departure, we were contacted and the item was posted to us.
A comprehensive information guide assisted us with use of the electonic equipment, local services and transport.
This accommodation provided the best of both worlds; a lazy morning at the beach and the rest of the day in the city and doing the touristy things. Afterwards, you return to your cool and quiet room with a sea breeze.
We loved it.
Karen and Mike.
