Francis has a beautiful studio, in a quiet area around Cowaramup, with the city centre a short 5 minute drive, and Margaret River City center a further 10 minutes away.
Francis was extremely helpful. We were supposed to stay in another Airbnb for 3 nights but our host cancelled last minute, but Francis extended our stay without any hassles at all. Being a busy time over the new year weekend, this was a huge favour as it would have been almost impossible to get another accommodation.
The studio is sparkling clean, spacious and had all the basic amenities. Netflix on TV also helped us feel more at home. The backyard of the studio opens into a beautiful walking trail, overlooking the forest. It was a delight for me, because being a birder, I could watch galas, kookaburras and ring necked parrots from the backyard itself. This is also great for stargazing, where we could see some galaxies with our naked eyes, and also take great pictures.
Francis is a true hero, living his life as a nurse and caring for people who need it. Small wonder, he's also an amazing host, whom I can now call a friend. He went out of the way to help us in every way, allowing us to use his personal laundry facilities and also lent me his vacuum cleaner to clean my car. He's also passionate about surfing and photography.
He had great advise on places to visit, eat at and shop in.
And it was super sweet of him to give our 2.5 year old daughter a little kangaroo keychain as a parting gift.
I would any day recommend Franis' studio to any couple or small family visiting Maraget River.
Wish you loads of luck and happiness, Francis.
Cheers!
