we stayed in Sharlenes house for one night this January. the house itself is a clean and newly furbished accommodation, however we felt it was very inpersonal as well and all very minimal. unfortunately there was no one to welcome us upon arrival and Sharlene only informed us about this after we send her an email to inform her about our ETA. when we arrived the power in the entire village was off for a couple of hours, very inconvenient since this was around beginning of the evening and it was getting dark and no place was open for food or candles etc due to this. Sharlene only send an email later to apologize but no help was offered, i.e. bringing candles over or torches. we also did not receive any compensation for the inconvenience. overall definately not worth your money while staying in jurien bay, unfortunately!
