We booked this property for New Years 2020, sadly flies and midges were in very high numbers in the area. This isn't a fault of the owner or property manager, however there was no mention of this being a factor for this property (especially given it’s opposite the Vasse Wonnerup Wetlands).
During our stay, we had a lot of issues with midges getting into the house (combination of warm days, no air con, ceiling fans that don't work correctly). Even with windows closed midges were entering the house through light fittings when our children were in the bathroom. Quite terrifying for them (being 2 and 4yrs old).
The host did try to assist by dropping off some candles (that had no effect). However, she advised that we should have known about this issue as it "was all over the news". We refute this claim as not everyone watches the news (we don’t watch any news programs). We feel a more appropriate communication method would be to advised customers prior to booking, or at least inclusion in the booking confirmation documents. This issue strongly impacted our stay as we weren’t able to do things we’d planned for our holiday – like use the BBQ (midges present all day in the alfresco) or play with our young children in the backyard due to mostly dead (and sharp under foot) rear lawn. I am a WA local, and well-travelled throughout our beautiful state - others may be even less informed or prepared. So please note this review as a warning and consideration when booking.
Overall we enjoyed staying in the area, the location is close to all you’d want to do in the region. It is well kept, quite modern and has a layout suitable for families.
Given our experience with the property - we simply cannot recommend it to others.
