We were looking for a quiet beach front week in a location which would allow us to explore Western Australia or just relax as we wished after a couple of weeks elsewhere in Oz.

We could see from the listing it would be a good location, architecturally stimulating, and well equipped. We were pleasantly surprised to find how large it was, how ideal the enclosed rear courtyard garden was for breakfast (it gets the sun) and how the subtle boom of the ocean surf - never too loud- will be relaxing.

If you find the prospect of watching the sun set over the Indian ocean with a cold beverage of your choice in your hand unpleasant, then don't book this property. Denise and Barry are an interesting couple with plenty of experiences to share but if that's not your thing then they will leave you to your own devices. It was a great week to finish our trip to Oz.
