We managed to get 2 nights at The Red Door house in Dunsborough to use as our base for a weekend of art & wine. We chose the house over a hotel, making it possible to also invite the kids along with the 3yo and Bub. Four bedrooms catered to this perfectly. The kids had the two back bedrooms, one with 2 bunk beds in it and the other a double bed bunk with a single on top. These rooms and a third room with a Queen size bed shared a bathroom which had a bath and shower in it, perfect for the littlies after a day of exploring. A separate toilet next to it.
The master bedroom at the front of the house is spacious with a Queen size bed and open en-suite with a double headed shower, and toilet. We found both QS beds to be too soft to be comfortable but this is a very personal preference. We bought our linen and towels, tea towels and bath mats...even though the latter were supplied.
There is a large grassed yard with a small verandah area for summer use, perfect for the dog and kids, completely fenced. The kitchen and lounge area very open with everything you would need. It wasn’t Air BnB as we have found on previous travels, with breakfast staples supplied etc...there were a few basics in the cupboard - flour, salt pepper, tea bags... which you were to replace if used. We just went to the local Coles and got a few things which we took home.
Big couches and plenty of chairs, all of which were also a bit ‘soft’ for my liking but I found the floor with the 3yo and the dinosaurs. A RC air-con to provide enough warmth on cold June nights to take the edge off in the lounge. The front bedroom got quite cool but there are plenty of blankets. The house has had the edges knocked off it and because of that we didn’t feel as though it was too precious to be there. It made us feel as though it were our own home. Thank you Ashleigh...
